Bone crushing babes on skates!

If you're tingling thinking 'bout  Drew Barrymore's new roller derby movie "Whip It" with Ellen Page, you've got to meet New York City's Gotham Girls, the city's only all-female, skater-operated roller derby league. With team names like Bronx Gridlock, Brooklyn Bombshells, Manhattan Mayhem and Queens of Pain, these girls are heaven and hell on wheels.

Think roller derby is just one long left turn with flying elbows? Bronx Gridlock pack leader, Ginger Snap (who chose her own moniker because of her red hair and a broken arm, courtesy of roller derby) explains the sport for you. Things can get pretty out of hand when you mix girls and skates, but Ginger says the ladies leave their fights on the track and that parking lot brawls are SO yesterday. So strap 'em on, ladies. Skates, that is!
