Roller Derby Bout Wellington's Richter City All Stars vs. Sydney's Assassins at the TSB Bank Arena on March 19, 2011. My first roller derby bout.
I love this line! The roller derby connection, the bright colors and monster attitude! Ghoulia and Operetta were pure love right out of the box, Lagoona and Frankie got a few tweaks before the shoot.
Frankie i thought was a little bland to start with, so a altered a few things, and gave her some more accessories to spice her up. ( I know some people love spotting where things come from/whats different so this photo's for you!)

A roundabout in Felanitx is home to this roller. Its wheels are inscribed Bilbao Instalaciones & Industriales SA, presumably its builder. It carries makers no. 2016.
Our Roller Skate performers were a hit last evening at an event for French tourism agency Atout France ✈️ 🇫🇷.

Europese troupant
(Coracias garrulas)
The European roller (Coracias garrulus) is the only member of the roller family of birds to breed in Europe. Its overall range extends into the Middle East, Central Asia and Morocco.
The European roller is found in a wide variety of habitats, avoiding only treeless plains. It winters primarily in dry wooded savanna and bushy plains, where it typically nests in tree holes.
The rollers are medium-sized Old World birds of open woodland habitats. They have brightly coloured plumage and a hooked bill. Most are found south of the Sahara. The genus Coracias contains eight species of sit-and-wait hunters. The European roller is similar in appearance and behaviour to the Abyssinian roller, which appears to be its closest relative. These two birds and the lilac-breasted roller seem to share a common ancestry and could possibly be considered to form a subspecies.
The European roller was described by Linnaeus in his Systema naturae in 1758 under its current name. The genus name derives from Greek; korakias refers to a type of crow, perhaps the red-billed chough. The species garrulus is from Latin and means chattering or noisy. Alternate names include the blue roller, common roller, Eurasian roller, or simply roller.
The advent of sufficiently lightweight tracking technology has facilitated several recent studies of roller migration, providing new information on the non-breeding sites used by rollers from different breeding populations. Individuals from south-west European populations migrate to south-west Africa (Angola, Namibia, Botswana), with French and north-Spanish birds taking a direct southerly route across the Sahara and Portuguese and south-Spanish taking a more westerly route around the west African coast. Rollers from eastern European populations also spend the winter period in southern Africa, but further east in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana. The Sahel savannah region immediately south of the Sahara Desert (particularly the area around Lake Chad) appears to be important for rollers from many populations as an autumn re-fuelling site, and Latvian and other north and north-eastern populations migrate northwards via the Arabian Peninsula in spring.Individuals from different breeding populations use distinct but overlapping winter sites; there is a good correlation between the longitude of individual breeding and non-breeding sites, suggesting parallel migration. In the east, the northernmost breeders (from Latvia) tend to winter south of the southernmost breeders (from Cyprus) - this suggests a pattern of 'leap-frog' migration.

Huge rollers coming in from the SW. I couldn't get over the undulating horizon. Now that's something vary rarely seen unless the rollers are very big and the horizon is about 20 miles away.
Dundee Roller Girls versus Fair City Rollers November 2011 at the DISC , Mains Loan , Dundee , Scotland
This guy skates for 15 minutes with the water bottle on his head. I thought that, his pants and how he carried himself was cool. My wife thought his chest, abs, hair - well, everything else was cool :-)
