A Guide to…Roller Derby

Overview

Did you know there was a Quidditch league in NSW? No? It wasn't long ago that people around Sydney didn't know we had a Sydney Roller Derby League either. Sydney's is five years old, with interest no doubt egged on by the kinetic 2009 Ellen Page vehicle Whip It. And as part of its ongoing guide to teach you how to do things that you'd never realised you wanted to, the Oxford Street Design Store are inviting you to be seduced by the glory of hammering into people in motion with A Guide to...Roller Derby.

Sydney league insiders the Fabulous Sebastian and Tomahawk Geronimo will ply you with information, history and some instruction before giving you a hands-on turn in what's likely the world's first attempt to cram a full-on Derby jam into the Design Store's narrow halls.
