Off the Kuff Knowledge Is Good in the Reality-Based Community Contact me: kuff - at - offthekuff.com Main August 03, 2004 Roller Derby! Via Tom Kirkendall comes the latest extreme sport craze in Austin. Leave it to Austin, which prizes its weirdness, to foster this contagious blend of high performance sport and campy theatrics called not games but bouts, fought on traditional four-wheel skates. And to field the two feuding leagues - the Texas Rollergirls (www.txrollergirls.com) and the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls, also known as Bad Girl, Good Woman (www.bggw.com). This is, at the very least, extreme roller skating, heavy on attitude and light on attire, the better to bare breathtaking tattoos. Social scientists may scratch their heads over the emergence of a new form of staged violence by macho women, but to the players, who don't get paid, it's easy to explain: it's fun. "It's kind of like hockey in lipstick and fishnet stockings," said Lacy Attuso, 27, a computer publicist who goes by the rink name of Whiskey L'Amour. (Whiskey because she drinks it, she said, L'Amour from the Western writer Louis L'Amour.) You know, I do believe I know someone who participates in this.

46. Saving Grace, Chapter Three as a skater, and roller skating was not even an olympic sport. Although manysports have been added to the olympic schedule, roller skating of any http://www.skatejournal.com/chapters/ch3.html

Chapter Three Popping the Question W hile attending high school, I enjoyed the days when my mother was at work because I had a chance to talk to my father, who I discovered was a real human being when she wasn’t around. My father taught me how to cook, and we talked for hours. Based on reports from other people, the relationship I had with my father during those adolescent years was quite unusual. I felt I could tell him anything. And I could. This did not mean he would honor any request I made, though. In my case, I pursued my commitment to skating independently. I didn’t even require transportation to an arena to show my family that I maintained sincere interest in skating. After years of garage practice, I believed I had proven my devotion and deserved to be rewarded with real lessons. Skating was not a passing fancy for me. “I’m a good skater,” I insisted. My father made a condescending comment like, “You’re not that good,” or “Yes, yes, I’m sure you’re good”. Because my father’s work occupied most of his time, he may not have been aware that I had been skating for several years. My father lived in the real world of hard work and inconsistent luck. He did not consider skating more than child’s play. Even if he watched me skate, he would not be able to evaluate what he saw. Considering my entirely self-taught situation, I thought I possessed an impressive repertoire, which was worthy of expansion. For weeks I rehearsed how I would confront my father to ask for lessons. While my mother was at work, I would find the perfect moment to broach the subject. If she were not around, he would listen to me. We could discuss my goals like adults; the way we discussed other topics. I pictured my father sitting down with me at the kitchen table, perhaps writing out a list, as he did when making any important decision. We might even consider a budget or commuting schedule. If all went according to plan, he would reach over to the phone on the kitchen counter and dial the number for the roller rink. Then I would have an opportunity to pursue my dream of becoming a legitimate skater.

Home Sports USA Roller Skating Federation Internationale de Roller Skating ... rule book Roller skating is a Special Olympics sport with many different facets. Athletes are given the option to compete in artistic events and speed events. In addition to the choice of sport, athletes may choose to use in-line or quad skates, depending on their strengths. As in all Special Olympics Sports, athletes are grouped in competition divisions according to the athletes' ability level, age and gender. For the artistic competition, men and women compete separately. The competition is further divided into four levels, each level progressively more difficult and requiring different elements. Speed events offer a variety of distances for all skill levels, as well as relay and slalom events. Roller skating was inaugurated at the 1987 World Games. That year the 22 participants were all United States athletes. In 1999, the roller skating competition boasted 108 athletes from 14 countries. Roller Skating Associations (RSAs) in the United States have been instrumental in the development and inclusion of Special Olympics athletes and coaches. These associations include: Roller Skating Rink Operators, Society of Roller Skating Teachers of America, Speed Coaches Association, Roller Hockey Coaches Association, and Roller Skating Supplies and Manufacturers. Roller skating is in the winter sports schedule for Special Olympics Texas with statewide competition at the Winter Games in December. The following events are sanctioned by Special Olympics Texas and are to be offered at all local, area and chapter competitions. The actual events scheduled and conducted at local, area and chapter competitions will be determined by a minimum number of entries in each event.

They are the first sports to be cut from the Games in 69 years and it means Regents Park, which was due to host them, will no longer be a 2012 venue. Squash and karate were initially nominated as their replacements but neither polled enough IOC members' votes to win a place at the Games. Rugby union sevens, golf and roller skating were also in the running. International Olympic Committee members went through seven rounds of voting to decide which two of the five sports should be put up for a vote to give them Olympic status. Squash and karate were chosen, but not enough of the IOC members wanted them to be included. It means the earliest they can now be introduced into the Games is 2016.

Karate and roller sports complete the list, while softball, baseball and modern pentathlon could be excluded. "We have sent a questionnaire to the 28 Summer federations represented in the Olympic Games," an IOC spokesman said. "It is all part of an ongoing review of the programme. As part of this process the IOC has decided to include five sports not currently in the Games." IOC president Jacques Rogge has said that no sport can be included without another dropping out. "We'll decide (about new entries) in 2005. Golf, rugby, squash and roller skating are knocking on the door," Rogge told the Corriere della Sera newspaper. "But for every novelty, we will need to give up a discipline. Nothing can be added. The golden numbers are 300 events, 28 sports, 10,400 athletes at most."

It's a sport everyone can readily understand - racing - where the gold medals and trophies go to those who skate the fastest. When people are first introduced to the sport they are usually surprised by the sheer numbers as well as the enthusiasm found at competitions. The fastest skaters in the world are members of USA Roller Skating. Regardless of age, these speed skaters share a determination to race as fast and as far as they can. This youthful enthusiasm is matched by the sport, which demands a blend of quickness, stamina and strategy. It's fun, exciting, healthy, social and rewarding. The benefits, however, go beyond winning. Skaters learn the importance of teamwork, of being persistent and organized, and of setting and reaching goals. It builds strength and discipline, while teaching the value good sportsmanship. USA Roller Skating speed skating is a non-contact sport, requiring skaters to display the skill to maneuver cleanly through the pack and into winning position. Skaters are disqualified for pushing, blocking, forcing another racer out of position, or using their arms, legs, or hands in any way which impedes the progress of other competitors. For added safety skaters are also required to wear approved helmets with the chin strap fastened during competition.

There's even an online petition that can be found at PokerInAthens.com , dedicated to including poker in the Olympics. In fact, they are on the right track. To be included at this level, games must first be practiced by men in at least 75 countries and four continents, and by women in at least 40 countries and three continents. Next, they have to be governed by an International Federation before the International Olympic Committee can recognize them as a sport. Then, the Federation must file an application to become a demonstration sport. After that, the sport may file another application to officially become an Olympic sport. However, the current trend at the IOC is to limit the number of sports to under 30, in order to reduce the size of the Olympics and give poorer countries a chance to host the Games.
