LIFESTYLE: This winter, a trio of local women decided to start a Pittsburgh league in the up-and-coming, rock-and-rollin' world of all-girl, flat track roller derby. More than 60 women from all over the region came out to be part of the Steel City Derby Demons.

The Post-Gazette's Steve Mellon and Bob Batz Jr. attended their recent first practices and survived to put together this slideshow of what it's all about, complete with music by one organizer's punk-rock band, the Motorpsychos.
