Physics wise, what are the differences between flat track roller derby and banked track?I know the main differences have to do with the speed of the skaters and the force of the impacts when the skaters are hit and fall, but i don't understand why or how these things are different on the two tracks. Can anyone compare and contrast the physics of the two tracks in detail? Please and thank you! :) | |
The difference is in the name: Flat Track roller derby is played on a flat surface (concrete, wood, or sport court). A track may be taped off with rope lights or duct tape at any flat location, usually at a skating rink. Banked Track roller derby is played on a banked surface, sloping upwards from the inside of the track to the outside edge, usually between a 35 and 45 degree angle. A banked track is made of plywood, steel, and masonite
