The Roller Derby Chronicles is must-see DVD for fans of the late great banked track game. After years of painstaking research and production, Video Service Corp. and Destination Television have come up with a package that is a complete look at the original Roller Derby. It's a given that we would have game action that is both historic and entertainin provided by rare game footage that goes back to 1952, 1959 and 1960 and 1973. There's even some vintage Roller Games footage from Canada in 1974 and complete game from the revival season of 1977 featuring Charlie O'Connell, Joan Weston, Mike Gammon and Ann Calvello.

But the proverbial pivot man in this package is the brand new documentary Rolling Thunder produced specially for this package skating fans through the history of the sport using vintage footage and the frank recollections of Derby alumni in glorious black and blue! On the same disc is the first ever DVD version of Derby, the 1971 Roller Derby promotional film that actually won notices at film festivals.

And this limited edition package with special trackside vacuform comes with a reprint of Frank Deford's famous 1969 feature article for Sports Illustrated bringing Roller Derby national notice and credibility!
