Team ATOMinables

Roller Derby starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness, and respect for your fellow skaters. Put all these together, and even if you don’t win, how can you lose? We are the underdogs! We’ve come together to skate hard and have a hell of a good time!

The ATOMinables are as badass (and a little mismatched) as it gets! These barking, beer-shotgunning, ramp skating, new and seasoned banked-track skaters have been brought together to form a nucleus of positively-charged—and highly explosive—derby skaters. Hearts full of love—and skates fully charged—totally ignite this team on the track!
