Back in the 1980s and earlier, skaters who played roller derby did get paid. Currently, no roller derby skaters (that I know of) get paid to play, though it would certainly be nice! :)
In fact, playing roller derby can be quite expensive! You have to buy your gear (skates, wheels, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmets, mouth guards, etc) and your uniform, and most leagues charge dues to cover rental for the practice space, league insurance, and other fees. Many leagues are nonprofit organizations, so all the money they raise goes back into the league to pay for things like flyers, tickets, venue rental, EMTs, security, and travel. Nonprofit leagues also do charity work, either holding charity bouts to donate proceeds to a given charity or by volunteering and raising money in other ways.
Going from A to B. Getting exercise. Transportation that doesn't use gas or electricity. Doing tricks, competitions, roller derby, or just at a roller rink for recreation.
I would answer, so: "I'm doing great" followed by the thanks: "Thanks for asking" and then return the question: "How are you doing?" "I'm doing great, thanks for asking! How are you doing?"
A sport in which 2 teams on "quad" roller skates compete. The object is to score points by passing while keeping the other team from doing just that. Unless one is referring to staged events from the 80's, It was much more brutal, but also more like pro wrestling on wheels.
Most rules say that you have to be at least 16 to be in a Demolition Derby.
Because they are rubbish.
Doing very well, thanks!
They're going make the roller coaster rides even more terrifying.
