Yeah, but what a task! Forget the poitical backdrop of the game, just the game itself. As an old and not so bouncy skater boy, it would have been a thrill to play a game based on motorbikes and skates. It sort of got me brainstorming about a whole genre of motor/skate games, it opens up a whole genre of its own.

It was just a sentece somewhere talking about a stadium being built in, yes you guessed it, Houston. I'm not a hundred percent sure it was in your documents. Seems to me, I'm the only person who likes the idea...like the very idea is heresey...love your thoughts on the matter.

That's great! In size, how does your track compare to that in the film?

I've seen a roller derby before. I don't know what your's is like, but the one i went to didn't seem too.... professional. Not saying the athletes themselves weren't professional, but they portrayed the sport in a demeaning manor. The players were constantly getting in fights, getting mad and throwing their helmets down while still playing and threatening the other players. The stupidity of the refs letting the athletes play without helmets almost floored me. (mainly because I'm a safety nut with my background in paintball) It reminded me of watching WWE or some other wrestling federation on t.v. Completely staged and fake.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not trying to bash on your sport, I've seen videos of rollerderby played in many countries and it looked cool. I imagine it is played better where you are. The only thing that bothers me about rollerderby is how you score.

Here is a video of Japanese "Roller Game" (same thing as rollerderby). They remind me of the Tokyo team of Rollerball, they play with heart and skill.
You must scroll down a little to see the video.

Back on Topic.
I wish rollerball was a real sport. It wouldn't be that difficult to make given enough funding just to start it up.

The things that would have to change would be
1. No spikes on gloves.
2. Basically all other rules covered in Rollerball (Except they would actually be enforced)
3. More refs to better enforce said rules.

Because the movie portrayed violence without restriction, other physical contact rules would be created/modified.
And possibly two cannons?
