I too started derby after my first baby and heavier than I'd ever been; it was also just a couple of weeks after my 36th birthday. So many of my reasons are similar to yours, and new ones are emerging all the time. The catch-all for me is that it just plain GOOD for me, physically, emotionally, socially, in my self-esteem - derby just kicks ass. Go mama go! - Doris Day of Reckoning Gorgeous, thank you!

I just recently found flat track derby and I immediately fell in love with it! I love derby for many of the same reasons you do. I also love it for the community that is created on my team as well as between teams. And looking really cute in my skirt and fishnets is just a self-esteem boost. Well-stated!
