THE SUZY HOTROD MOVIE IS NOW ONLINE

At last! The new documentary, “Suzy Hotrod: Roller Derby Star”, is now available for free on YouTube.

You can watch the full movie here: https://youtu.be/I_jOYq2VnJo

The film follows the daily life of Suzy Hotrod, the last original member of New York City’s Gotham Girls Roller Derby league—and one of the most well-known names in modern roller derby.

This video is the second installment in an ongoing series, entitled “Character”, celebrating truly unique people and places in New York City.

If you like what you see, please take a moment to share this video on social media.

This movie is a true labor of love. It was created with no budget, shot on a used camcorder and edited by me at home on nights and weekends. The only method of promotion I have is through people like you. Your participation online will go a long way toward helping me (and Suzy) spread the word about the film, and about roller derby in general.

Thanks for your time, and enjoy the movie.

Sincerely,

Leon Chase Director

I live

I just want everyone to k ow I am alive. However, I broke my tailbone (coccyx because I just learned not everyone calls it a tail bone) while at roller derby practice. The meds I'm on keep me in a pretty consistant medication fog... so I am here and at the same time I'm not *here*.

[rainbowdashyourdreams]

My first injury

Well here I am one week into derby and bam! Ended my practice 20 minutes early because I popped up to early, lost my balance, fell backwards, and busted my tailbone.

I couldn't properly plow stop and it sucked. So my future looks like some heat, ice, Epsom salt baths, and a lot of streaching to make sure I'm good for practice later this week!

I had that awkward moment:

When you go to the rink to practice during free skate and you are the oldest one there. I didnt even have my kids with me to hide behind! Hahaha

[rainbowdashyourdreams]

Kicked my own ass!

So part of playing a sport, especially a full contact sport, is working out. I despise working out, but I dragged my ass to the gym today and kicked my own ass.

Me right now is pretty fucking proud.

Me tomorrow already hates me.

It’s official, I am Fresh Meat!

I am so excited to start this journey. Roller derby is something i have wanted to do for so very long. The league that I am joining is super small but I think that will be a great way to get started in the sport that I have been following for a good 7 years now. My first official practice will be Thursday and I am so stoked!
