Rat City leg whip

Ariel Pena got this great shot at Nationals and put together real-time animation and slow motion animation of the Rat City Rollergirls leg whip on his website Arienbium. I didn't get to see it and everyone's been talking about it so here it is.

Eight of the top leagues in the United States skated their way into the hearts of new derby fans from across the Pacific Northwest, the United States, and the world.
