For those who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60's and early 70's will enjoy this book especially if you were a fan of Roller Derby. It brings back so many memories of all those skaters who gave me their entertainment best. Like pro-wrestling, Roller Derby became more of a sports-entertainment over the years but the performers were still top-rate athletes. A great read.
Full of great stories and beautiful photos. It's surprising a book is out there--what's more surprising is that it's entertainingly written. You just can't put it down. Includes a section on RollerJam that is very informative. If you ever watched the Bay Bombers week after week, you must get this one.
This was the best book I ever read. It helped me relize all the stuff that gose on in RJ. And as I big fan, and still am, I was stoked. Wow, all RJ fans or soon to be RJ fans should read this book.
I enjoyed reading about a time that I remember & the people I idolized. We used to go to the Armory in NYC every Thursday night. I would have liked a little more info on some of the past stars such as Gerry Murry, Gene Gammon, The Atkinson's, Ken Monti, LuLu Palermo & other skaters from that era. However, I did enjoy the book & so did my mother. It was our night out together. The pictures & history were great.
I can't think of someone more qualified to write on this subject. I was going to read it and then I said to myself, "Why bother." :) Great title.
