What’s the difference between Flat Track and Banked Track Roller Derby?
The difference is in the name: Flat Track roller derby is played on a flat surface (concrete, wood, or sport court). A track may be taped off with rope lights or duct tape at any flat location, usually at a skating rink. Banked Track roller derby is played on a banked surface, sloping upwards from the inside of the track to the outside edge, usually between a 35 and 45 degree angle. A banked track is made of plywood, steel, and masonite.
