Top 10 Gifts for Your Derby Wife

Card: Power Jam Cards.

Roller derby is a sport rife with ritual, crammed with cultural quirks, and packed with peculiarities, particularly when it comes to players and their relationships. With team mates quickly forming close friendships that last a lifetime, roller derby is a sport of love and skate, where bonds are built through brutal bouts and fierce passion for both game and glory. With emotions running high, it's unsurprising that many skaters find themselves an on-track soul mate, forming a close connection that sees the pair support, mentor and challenge one another throughout their training and beyond. To show their love, many pairings become 'derby wives', as a dedication to an enduring friendship built on blood, sweat and tears.
