How long have you been playing derby? I completed our freshmeat course in June 2012 but got pregnant in October 2013 so roughly around 3 years now
What is your favourite position to play on track? I am a blocker who loves to jam
Who are you off track? I am a slightly crusty, very thrifty montessori mum of 2. I love food, films & music festivals (put roller derby in the equation & that'll be heaven = a roller derby music festival oooh)
Likes - hugs, kindness, silly things, eating yummy food, not rushing, freshly washed sheets, naps, zombies & discovering things.
Dislikes - nastiness, cleaning out the kitty litter, bad manners, the sound of water dripping or pouring, high heels, NOT eating.
Who’s your derby crush? eeeeee! I have tons- you're probably one of them ;) but bork bork bork from Windy City Rollers is my most favourite of them all. She is communicative, have amazing track awareness & athletic!
Worst injury? if you don't count my 9 month injury :p I seem to do things in twos; 2 x Grade 2 sprained ankle, 2 x Grade 2 sprained knees (left & right) and 2 x concussions
What has been your most magical derby moment? Everytime I have been off skates for awhile (due to injury etc) and then I get to strap my skates back on & play - those first times have always been magical to me :)
Random Gruff Fact! I always try to recreate the perfect meal through every bite - I have my mains with the dessert in a spoon & a perfectly timed drink.
