As Kingsway Skateland prepares to close shop to the public, a local roller derby team gears up with mouthguards, a helmet, knee and elbow pads and slips on their skates. They get on the rink ready to warm up, either by skating many laps around the rink or doing push-ups on skates.Then, the real fun begins. One skater wears a star on their helmet to gain the most points by skating past the other team, but there is a human wall they have to get through first.
