Derby Name: punkd pixie

Number: 92

Team(s):  The Rolling Pin Ups/ The Burning River All-Stars

Position(s): Jammer/ Blocker

What was the inspiration behind your name?  I love punk rock music and pixie just seemed to fit me and then the two sounded great together

How did you first hear of the league? I was at the Leroy Thompson motorcycle show on the east side of Cleveland and BRRG was there doing full contact musical chairs!  I watched them go after each other and I knew I had to do this!!  So I went to a bout in N. Olmstead to see what it was really all about and I was in love 

Who is your derby Wife, and how is your relationship with her? I am single(in the derby wife arena)!!  I like playing the field…hahaha

What happened to the Pixie Sticks?? I know i should bring those back.  Everyone loves pixie sticks!!

Your jamming has stepped up vastly, what do you credit this to?  I gained a lot of experience last year.  With so few Pin ups skating in season 3,  Eva and I were jamming almost every other jam last season.  .

Who do you miss most that has left the league?  That’s a tough question…. everyone  

How do you feel about growth of derby since your start? It’s amazing!!!  I am so proud to be part of it all.

Tell us about our time as a part of The Hazmat Crew?  I was part of the original committee to propose a “B” travel team and then was elected Captain.  It was a struggle starting a new team and we went through some growing pains but I loved skating with those girls!  It was challenging but a ton of fun 

What has been your most embarrassing derby moment of all time?   ummm….

How difficult is it for you to juggle derby and everything else?  It’s  very challenging.  I have a full time job, a part time job, a 17 year old daughter, a boyfriend, the pin ups, and the All-stars…..it’s a constant juggling act but I honestly wouldn’t want my life any other way.

You in life are you inspired by?  When things get rough and I feel like giving up I think of my daughter Rachel and  how I want to teach her important life lessons, such as,  you should never quit.  Then I pick myself up and get going again.

What are your Season 4 goals? I want to score some points!!  ha ha ha ha   And I wanted to not only play hard but learn how to play smarter.

Tell us about your journey to All-Star status?  It’s been a long road but very worth it.  I’ve been working really hard not only skating but outside of practice work outs as well.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not skating?  With such a busy life I usually enjoy chillin out at home with a glass of wine, reading or watching movies with my boyfriend David and my cats.  When we do manage a free night we love going to see local bands and are huge fans of rockabilly.
