Favorite. . .
  • ...skate set-up? Riedell Spark Skates
  • ...song to skate to? Queen or anything I would have skated to at open skates as a kid ('80s/'90s hip hop)
  • ...things about derby? The sportsmanship and camaraderie on and off the track.
  • ...drinks? Flavored water on skate days; fountain Cokes when I need a boost
  • ...foods? Just about anything that involves chocolate and/or cheese. (Luckily skating burns so many calories!)
  • ...things to do off-track? Volunteer, travel, read, laugh, outdoorsy things

Favorite Derby Moment(s): Traveling to see the league play in other cities; any bout where a friend who has never seen derby shares with me that they now "get it."
