Atom Stinger Slim Wheels Review

Hi!… I’m Dust Bunny from Toronto Roller Derby, and I bought a set of Stinger 38mm wheels and I love them!!! As a jammer I was much more agile, and I was able to achieve much more powerful crossovers around the corners. I seriously kept saying that I felt like a super hero!

Get your own set of Atom Stinger Slim wheels here!  Visit our roller derby shop for roller skates, gear and accessories.

Toronto Roller Derby helps promote Whip It during the Toronto Film Festival.  In September Whip It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and Toronto Roller Derby held a exhibition bout at Dundas Square to help promote the movie.  ToRD skaters were dressed in Hurl Scout uniforms and spent the weekend doing Whip It promotions where ever the movie’s director and star – Drew Barrymore – was.  Here are some photos from the event.  Photos taken by Kevin Konnyu.  To see more of Kevin’s photos click here.
