Is Roller Derby Ready For Rocket Skates

Anybody who watches derby regularly knows that speed on skates is definitely one of the most important skills a competitor can possess. Obviously, speed alone doesn’t get the job done, but it sure does help.

Rocketskates are motorized electric skates that will propel the wearer at a neck breaking speed of 12 mph! They’re designed to fit over regular shoes or boots.

This is currently a Kickstarter program and the inventors have raised $113,000.00 so far.

A pair will set you back $500.00.
