Please welcome our first ever Skater of the Month! Bite-Size Bruiser is not only a wonderful team player, but a great league member all around! Please enjoy the interview below…

1. So….how does it feel to be MDRV’s first EVER skater of the month?
I’d have to say it makes me feel pretty awesome.

2. Who would you like to dedicate this award to?
To my whole league. Thank you all and I hope I can continue to help the league in anyway I can!

3. When did your derby addiction start…errrr….when did you start playing derby?
March i think…of 2009.

4. What positions do you play? What else do you do in the league?
Jammer. I enjoy being a blocker too but I feel more effective as a jammer. I also am on the BOD and the head of Bout Production in the league and have a great crew of people that work with me to make sure our home bouts fun smoothly, and keep me from freaking out! Thank you all!

5. What advice do you have for anyone who is interested in playing derby?
COME TO A PRACTICE! And never, ever be afraid to fall. Just get up quick.

6. Do you have admire or have any favorite derby players? If so, who?
I have oh so many! My first inspiration was a girl who used to skate with MDRV, you might know her, names Skid Ho. I would watch her from Fresh Meat and be determined to learn to skate as well as her. Of course there’s Beyonslay, if you’ve seen her block you need no explanation of why she’s one of my favorites..to watch…maybe not skate against.

7. What has been your favorite derby experience so far?
Oh geez, what hasn’t been my favorite? I love everything about it. I’ve never had so many female friendships in my life. I love my sisters, and the fact that I for the first time in my life, have developed an ass.

8. What do you think is the most common misconception about today’s roller derby?
If i hear one more person advertise derby as girls in their underwear beating each other up, and that’s it…i swear I will drop kick someone. Does that answer your question?

9. Where do you see your league in a year?
Being an official WFTDA league!!!!

10. In your opinion, what’s the most stressful thing about being on a derby league?
…this one’s pretty easy, were swimming in the damn estrogen ocean 2-3 days a week. I think being around any large group of women can be stressful, however, since were all there for the love of this sport we put up with it
