I first started (as a co-founder/event director) up in Seattle for the Rat City Rollergirls on the team, the Throttle Rockets. Right now, they are the #1 league (internationally) which includes over 100 flat track roller derby leagues in North America, Canada, the UK, and even Mexico. We have 2 national tournaments and several regional conferences and are governed by the Women's Flat Track League Association.

For the past two years we have had a roller derby convention in Vegas called "Rollercon". Rollercon is basically 3 days bouting and 3 nights of heavy drinking and all kinds of debauchery. There is nothing like a rollergirl party.

Since moving to LA, an old Seattle teammate and I started a Los Angeles flat track league called the Angel City Derby Girls. We play many Southern California Leagues as well as New Mexico and Las Vegas.

There is also a banked track league called the Derby Dolls.
