Description
In Word Association roller derby can trigger many responses: Pro wrestling on wheels, sexy women, tattoos. However, the sport was never meant to go down that path.
Former Roller Derby star Judy Sowinski (1940 – 2011) and other former skaters tried to create a new roller derby league, Old School Derby association Pro. It was to be a professional league, minus the theatrics. The theatrics arguably marred the sport. The OSDAPRO skaters’ passion, dedication and great feats of athleticism make David Block’s film breath taking. Although Sowinski’s death brought the league to a dormant state, her dream of creating OSDAPRO lives on. It can come true as long as skaters have the drive and determination to make it happen.
