Roller Derby catches on
CAROLINE C. KILGORE The Red 4 Black
i Roller Derby girls practice for competitions at Skate
Around U.S.A.

Sometimes people call
Pam Enlow “Dirty Hippie.”
But those people aren’t
being mean — it’s her
roller derby name.
The sophomore from
Canton and a group of
other women get together
every week to skate
around as the Athens
Roller Derby.
“It’s a great social envi
ronment,” Enlow said.
“You get exercise, but it’s
really just a lot of fun.”
The group started in the
summer and has already
caught the interest of
women in the area with a
small amount of promotion
through MySpace and fly
ers around town.
“There are about 20
(women) who show up on a
regular basis,” said Amanda
Hart, a University graduate
from Suwanee. “And we are
still open to new people
coming in.”
The group is open to all
women — students or non
students — of any age.
“It’s about half and half,
students and non-stu
dents,”
