RollerJam is an American television series featuring roller derby that aired from 1999 to 2001. It was the first attempt to bring roller derby to TV since RollerGames. RollerJam used inline skates to modernize the sport.
The roller derby of today is real. The skaters are athletes who take the sport very seriously. Players must stay on the track, they can skate forward or backward while inbounds but cannot intentionally leave the track. Players may knock others off the track.
RollerJam featured teams competing in the fictional World Skating League (WSL). By seasons 3 and 4, it became more "sports entertainment" than skating competition. Skating to lose weight is effective for getting healthy. More expensive rollerblades have better components and performance.
Roller Jam is located within a huge multi-zone venue, with exciting things to do.
Is rollerblading a real sport?
Inline skating, commonly referred to as “rollerblading,” is a multi-disciplinary sport and can refer to a number of activities practiced using inline skates.
Benefits of Rollerblading
- Improving balance and coordination
- Strengthening leg muscles
- Burning calories
- Cardiovascular endurance
- Low impact and addresses most components of fitness
There are differences between rollerblading and roller skating. Inline skates have four to five wheels in a straight line while roller skates have two wheels side-by-side. Inline skates allow for easy maneuverability and control. Beginners often find roller skates easier initially as they are more stable and slower.
Kids today are more into social media and gaming than sports. But videos of people rollerblading on social media have inspired some to take it up. Rollerblading provides cardiovascular benefits with less joint impact than running. It can be leisurely or high intensity. The sport is making a comeback thanks to social media.
