Gwen Miller Roller Derby Highlights Video

Planet Blue Publishing and Rolling Thunder Presents:
Roller Games Legends - A Tribute to Gwen "Skinny Minnie" Miller, a member of the Roller Derby Hall of Fame.
Please subscribe to this CZcams page and catch all the roller derby games, highlights, and features.
Our “Banked Track Legends Series” showcases several complete “jams” from the featured skater.
Thank you to everyone who shared their photos and videos for this project. Since the games took place in the 1960s, 70s, and ’80s, the quality isn’t always consistent. Our goal is to feature the greatest skaters from this era and preserve their legacy for generations to come.

Skinny Minnie: A breathtaking athlete and entertainer

[@djdrizzae]

Gwen Miller is why I watched roller derby as a kid.

[@larrystarstruck]

Brings back memories. I loved watching her skate. She always looked like the fastest One on the tract.

[@GregJacksonmusic]

She was a phenomenal skater- athlete.... And a wonderful church member too, she's truly missed!

[@everydayisathanksgiving8025]

Outstanding and fantastic person!!

[@hrpickinstuff]

Gwen was my favorite jammer. The Olympic Auditorium was a special place. (Wrestling and Rollar Derby)

[@manny4686]

Skinny mini is awesome so is in her teammates are they all have each other’s backs that’s good teamwork, right there to T birds. 👍🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@marievicknair6979]

Thank you so much for this. Gwen Miller was a great athlete and roll model for a lot of women and girls. She never received the athletic recognition she deserved in the 60's and 70's. Fast, tricky, courageous, proud, bold, what a woman.

[@NormAppleton]

It's so weird that their was this hyper violent Women's sport in the 70's and nothing since. Women's hockey is not close to this brutality.

[@NormAppleton]

She skates like Gretzky

[@chr970]

@@NormAppleton I still remember watching Gretzky in ‘79, his first appearance on HNIC against Toronto. “Haha! They said this kid is too skinny, and can’t skate! Look at this kid go!”

[@JorgeGarcia-eg1hn]

Fabulosa!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@JasonHolmes1]

This is amazing thank you all

[@LosAngelesThunderbirds]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you'll share it with the family.

Roller Derby Rules!!!

[@richardmorris7063]

Good times

[@jeffthekillercriticremixer5968]

Gwen is in the roller games roller derby Hall of Fame. She did this razzle dazzle and roller games but when she skated in a roller derby League she ran into a lot stiffer competition

[@NormAppleton]

Fixed like wrestling, Sure, but damn that girl could skate like Gretzky and Lemieux, kinda mind blowing.

[@twall3973]

My favorite

[@obfnasir]

I Appreciate You All 💯

[@strothermartin5368]

I didn't know skinny Minny passed away.
