Susie Sizzlelips, roller derby ref.
Saturday. Burlington. The City arena. The bout between the Hamilton Harlots and the Steel Tank girls took place. It's Canadian roller derby at it's finest.
Having never shot a roller derby event before or knowing the rules I found it a bit odd keeping track of who was winning and what people were actually doing. The last roller derby thing I seem to recall was a movie called "The Big Brawl" a movie starring Jackie Chan. Other than that what exactly are the rules anyway?
Thank goodness for the internet. Here's a short blurb.
Jammers racing around the track
The Burlington bout was a lot of fun even though the lighting was pretty terrible from a photographers stand point. I had a bunch of remote flashes positioned off to the side of the rink but it meant that if there was a wipe out on the other side of the rink I didn't get it.
"Out of the way!"
"Yikes!"

It's not a sport until there's a streaker.
