Finally fixing the wheels that the airlines busted. Going to an event today to showcase the sled. ❤️❤️❤️

If you or someone you know is interested in Sled Roller Derby (greater Seattle area/ in Renton) they should check out Seattle Sled Hockey - the sleds are the same. If you join sled hockey we can work to get you a sled because it's an established adaptive sport.

Then I can help you get wheels. Since hockey season is almost here the sleds have to go back to hockey. I am going to keep working all winter to perfect the wheels and get athletes joined so in the spring we are ready for the first teams to start.

If you have any questions please message me.

Below is the info for hockey intro night.

I brought the adaptive roller derby sled sled with me to RollerCon. At the half time of one of my bouts I took it for a spin.

Adaptive roller derby is this. But on wheels. Wheels (and mechanism to hold them. Think "plates and trucks" cost money. That is what the gofundme is for. Seattle Adaptive Roller Derby / Sled Derby

Please watch. Please share. Please give. So we can bring roller derby to everyone.
