The Ellen Page film really got the name of roller derby out there, but God, you're really sick of people comparing the sport to it. 

It's completely different: for a start, you use a flat track while they use a raised one. They have costumes,  you have normal training gear. 

Fair enough, it has helped by getting more people involved, but enough with the same question over and over.

I love music, especially the North-East local music scene. My obsession of unicorns is getting too much, my collection is growing out of control. I like animals so I don't eat them. Lover of all things vintage and ugly. Oh and i'm one of those ginger people. Twitter/Instagram @beccaBLC
