How did you get into derby? My then and now derby wife, Bloody Bathory, found me at a poetry slam... then found me in an anthropology lecture of 300+ people... and pretty much stalked me until I agreed to pursue roller derby.
How did you pick your derby name? I was denied my first name, Paralizya Minelli, and zoned out for hours when FLYON MAIDEN popped in my head. It's like Iron Maiden... but faster, and can kick Bruce Dickenson's ass!
Likes I LOVE onezies... rock n roll, things that remind me of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, cartoons, skating, and going FAST!!!
Dislikes Burglars, sour milk, people that cannot accept derby into their heart.
Favorite thing about derby I have never felt so passionate about anything in my life. I have found my "thing," and that thing is an alternative sport full of spunk, braaaaaiinnss, and athleticism. It's like a wild, blobular ever-growing monster (a nice monster, with a cool hat) and I am one of its countless blobs that morphs and adapts to keep the beast alive, thus giving me purpose and a continuous quest for improvement... and friends..lots of friends.
Fun Facts I began my derby career with Northwest Arkansas Roller Derby in Fayetteville while attending college. I transferred to Houston Roller Derby a month after graduating in 2010. Also... Praise "BOB"!

How did you get into derby? Derby is a family affair. We went to a game for my brother’s birthday and we were immediately hooked. He signed up to be a ref and I joined our recreation league, the Machete Betties.
How did you pick your derby name? The origin of my skater name is a combination of wanting to incorporate my real name, and a secret nod to the ghost train in Ghostbusters II. The Ghostbusters franchise is a favourite of the Comeaux siblings. Who ya gonna call? 555-2368!
Likes/Dislikes Long walks on the beach and mean people? You’re not going to ask me to take my clothes off for some sort of tasteful pictorial session, right?
Favorite thing about derby Derby is good people!
Fun Facts I think I revealed too much already in committing my Ghostbusters obsession to the world wide web, but thanks for asking.

How did you get into derby? Right before the release of Whip It, a league was doing a promo at the mall I worked at. I've been hooked since my first boot camp.
How did you pick your derby name?I picked my name wandering around the vendors hall of Dragon*Con, trying to settle on a name that I liked and I could register. Saw a patch for the Flash, thought about the Big Bang Theory - and I was sold. "You can try, but you'll never catch me. Bazinga!" is how the audience is introduced to the word - and it closely matches how I hope to jam one day!
Likes I like reading (fantasy is my genre of choice) and my smartphone (I'm a busy gal with a terrible memory, I'd be lost without it!)
Dislikes I'm not the biggest fan of horror films (I tend to flinch at even the cheesiest scenes) and I don' t like spicy foods!
Favorite thing about derby The ability to constantly push myself out of my comfort zone. The ability to travel and have an instant connection with other derby girls is also pretty awesome.

How did you get into derby? I was job searching advertising agencies in the city of Houston. One agency in particular had Houston Roller Derby as a client. I went to the HRD website and saw that they were having their first day of tryouts that day and I spontaneously decided to try out.
How did you pick your derby name? My favorite color is blue, my friends and family call me 'J,' and Bluejay's are very aggressive birds. I thought it fit my personality.
Likes My black lab, designing, strawberry flavored starbursts, lightning, poisonous dart frogs, indie music, romantic comedies, rowing, skiing, shooting guns, Johnny Depp, my birthday, the spring and summer seasons, pinatas, list can go on forever.
Dislikes Houston drivers, traffic, construction, dark chocolate, flying, heights, slow walkers, slow drivers, Valentine's day, again list can go on forever.

How did you get into derby? I watched Whip It, which got me interested in watching our local league. After going to one bout, I decided to go to rec league.
How did you pick your derby name? I was going to be Pepto Abysmol, but I didn't want to be known as the girl with GI issues. AcuPunchHer just popped in my head one day and seemed fitting since I'm Asian.

How did you get into derby? I started in New Orleans on a whim and promptly moved to Texas after making the league there. My dirty secret is that I had never seen a bout before trying out and didn't actually know anything about the sport.
How did you pick your derby name? I didn't pick out my derby name - it was a group effort at a bar.
Likes I enjoy cashews, knitting, and the word monkey.
Dislikeseverything else.
Favorite thing about derby This is a sport that accepts all women. It doesn't matter what you look like or where you come from - what matters is how you play derby. That jam whistle is the great equalizer.
Fun Facts I am terrified of horses and caterpillars. And butterflies. Also I only recently learned that Chips Ahoy was a play on Ships Ahoy. I still don't understand what that has to do with a cookie.

Likes Dachshunds, miniature items, wine (not miniature kind), reading, and moose hunting.

How did you get into derby? My son took me to go see Derby up in Washington state where he lived. I fell in love all over again. I remember it on TV when I was young and wanted to go up to play derby but then it when away.
How did you pick your derby name? I had a contest with all my friends to help me pick a name but didn't ever come up with one until I was watching Monk on TV with hubby and they had a serial killer who took his victims lipstick tubes as trophys. They needed a name to call him so they came up with Lipstick Assassin. My husband and I looked at each other and at the same time said "That's it, that's my name". Called my son asked him what he thought and he loved it too. So the rest is history.
Likes I like to outdoor skate while hubby rides the bike with our two dogs, sew clothes, watch a good movie at night in bed, ballroom dance with hubby in the empty dining room, gorging on a large bag of popcorn and not sharing it.
Dislikes Getting up early on the weekends, Lima Beans, flavored coffee in the morning, playing the same songs on the radio over and over and over again.
Favorite thing about derby My favorite thing about derby is the connection with all these wonderful women. Secondly, I really like the fact that you can get all your aggression out on the track and then go have a beer with everyone. It also keeps me in great shape so that people have a hard time telling how old I am.
Fun Facts I am the oldest HRD skater ever! I am also a mom of a 31 and a 27 year old. I was in the US Navy for 4 years active duty. I have been married to Mr. Stick for 17 years. I had a Great Planes rat snake for a pet for 14 years.

How did you get into derby? I heard about Houston roller derby the summer of 2010. after attending a bout and doing a little research I decided there was no other option - this is the perfect sport for me.

Favorite thing about derby I love that it's an environment that forces women to look at their bodies differently.

How did you get into derby? I landed in Oakland in the San Francisco Bay Area over ten years ago. In the summer of 2006, a friend took me to my first bout in this rundown, roller hockey rink, on the outskirts of town near the Oakland Airport. Skaters served me beer from a keg in a souvenir cup (which I still have!) and the place was overrun with drunk punks and hipsters. I fell instantly in love with the B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls and the sport and knew I’d found my calling. Fast forward several years, I've put several WFTDA tournaments including Regional Play-Offs and Championships and a World Cup under my belt and now I skate for the Houston Roller Derby All-Stars.
How did you pick your derby name? "Wendigo" is an ancient cannibalistic demon in the oral history of my First Nation.
Likes I like Korean food, beef ribs, meatballs, moose chili, venison medallions... (oh wait, that's all food)...
Dislikes I dislike square pegs.
Favorite thing about derby The game! This is one of the most interesting, challenging sports I could have imagined ever being invented. The learning curve is infinite and steep and can never get boring. Never.
Fun Facts I am an amazing pastry chef... of kitten pie! Just kidding. No, really, I'm a great baker. It's something I've done my whole life... at least until I was old enough to play with the oven.

Name Grrrl Friday
Number 100wpm
Team Bayou City Bosses, The Knockouts
Position Jammer
Years Played 2
Height 5'3"
Occupation Reporter
How did you get into derby? I remember the first day I heard about roller derby pretty vividly. I was in my women's lit class in college in 2005 and the girl who sat in front of me handed me a flyer for a Texas Rollergirls bout. She was Barbarella of The Hustlers. I went to a TXRG bout later and cheered for her, coveting the way she and other skaters like Rice Rocket and Catastrophe moved with such grace and athletic skill. Then I moved to Galveston and found out that my brother-in-law was doing poster designs for Houston Roller Derby. I saw a few HRD bouts and became hooked. Once I moved to Houston I joined rec league and a few months later made league tryouts.
How did you pick your derby name? My derby name is based off of a 1950s phrase for the woman in the office who takes care of everything - the Girl Friday. Since I'm a reporter, I'm also a big fan of the film "His Girl Friday" which is about a female ace reporter. I play guitar and was in a band for two years, and I have a soft spot in my heart for the Riot Grrrl feminist movement and culture of the early 1990s, so the name Grrrl Friday just seemed like a perfect fit for me - the girl who takes care of business and doesn't let anything hold her back.
Likes 20+ point jams, jammer line dance-offs, rad female musicians, playing dress-up.
Dislikes Rink rash, crappy beer, shin splints, corporate buzzwords.
Favorite thing about derby The fact that it's incredibly challenging and incredibly rewarding all at the same time. It's very cyclical; for all the times that you feel like you've plateaued and that the challenges are too tough, there will be another time when you feel like the baddest-ever chola on steroids.
Fun Facts I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. I used to avoid all forms of exercise and sports and claimed that swing dancing was all I needed to stay in shape. My first-ever job was cleaning lab rat cages for a fertility drug company. I'm a big arts and theatre nerd.

Name Maul McCartney

How did you get into derby? I saw a bout in person and knew I had to give it a try.
How did you pick your derby name? I'll give you three guesses for who my favorite Beatle is.
Likes The Beatles, cephalopods (cute AND delicious!), video games, nature documentaries (narrated by David Attenborough)
Dislikes ripe bananas, balloons, nature documentaries (narrated by Oprah)
Favorite thing about derby The ladies behind it all. Every single person has their own story and reason why they got into derby, but I've found that no matter what, each and every one of them has been willing to help out a derby sister. That goes from anything about skating gear to offering rides to events.
Fun Facts I have operated various types of heavy equipment: Front end loader, backhoes, forklifts, D7 dozer, HMMWV/Humvees, tractor tailors. I have a Bachelors in Media Arts & Animation.

Occupation7th Grade Reading Teacher
How did you get into derby? I first read about Houston Roller Derby in the Houston Press back in 2005. I was interested in going to a game and had thoughts about trying out, but I was too afraid. It wasn't until May 2010 that my boyfriend and I attended a game at Kicks. It was great to see these amazing female skaters playing a sport that was so competitive and fun. After that night, I knew I wanted in. I attended Rec. League the following Tuesday and enjoyed it. I tried out shortly after that and made the league. I was drafted into The Brawlers in July of 2010.
How did you pick your derby name? My biggest fan, my boyfriend, actually came up with my name. He teases me about being crazy because I’m a woman, but yet he says he finds me attractive. So he came up with “Locolicious.” I wanted to add a second name that related to my size. We came up with “Grande,” the complete opposite of my size, but I liked it. I go by “Grande” on the track. I’m stuck in a 2sm body but have a Grande heart for the game!
Likes I enjoy traveling, working out, spending time outdoors, and eating every type of food. My favorite is Italian, Sushi and Popcorn and Pickles!
Dislikes I dislike people that hog up all the weights at the gym and people that talk on their phone while working out. I don’t like beer.
Favorite thing about derby I love being part of a fantastic, hard working league and great home-team. These awesome ladies push you in a positive way to reach your potential. Although there is still so much I need to learn and work on, I love the confidence this sport has given me.
Fun Facts I've done over 8 tandem skydives and one solo jump. When I was 4 years old, I fell out of a moving vehicle and only had a few scratches on me. I can do 320 lbs on the Angle Leg Press Machine.
