I was sent to Japan to be on a show called "Incredible Kids" (or something like that) when I was 14. They asked me to demonstrate tricks, but to change some of the names to be "Japanese friendly." I was just excited to be overseas on my own, so I went along with it. Part 1 of 2

The in-studio portion of my Japanese television debut. The helmets would not have helped these guys if I had come up short.

Rollergame is a variation of the sport of Roller Derby that is played in Japan by the Rollergame League, established in 1990. Rollergame is played on either a flat or banked track, and on either traditional (quad) roller skates or inline skates. Roller Game is inspired by the original Roller Derby. It is a full-contact athletic competition with strictly enforced rules and no staged fighting. Japan's derby (flat track or banked track) is so bone crushing that body armor and full head, neck and face crash gear are absolutely necessary!
Among the unique features of Rollergame, which is played on a 100-m oval track:
Only one team plays offense at a time – in Roller Derby, both teams have jammers on the track at the same time.
The jam starts with the 4-member defensive team entering the track and skating in a line. At the half-lap point they are joined by 4 of the 5 members of the offensive team, who skate in a line beside them. The offensive team's jammer then enters after the two teams complete a lap together.
Once the jammer enters, the pack can spread out around the track, and skaters can engage each other anywhere at any time.
Jams last 60 seconds.
Sets are used instead of periods, with team winning the best 3 out of 5 sets winning the game – in Roller Derby, the winning team is normally determined by cumulative points scored in all periods.
