What’s the difference between banked and flat track roller derby?
Essentially: money. A banked track is an expensive investment and the average roller derby league is a grassroots production created by a group of passionate skaters. There are professional teams that have their own banked tracks, but you’ll find that flat track derby is far more popular due to the ability to mark out a track in tape on the floor on essentially any hard, flat surface that’s available for skating.
