Terror Eyez #8347

Happy New Year! Our first featured skater of 2016 is Terror Eyez, #8347. Terror is a newer skater, but there is nothing novice about her sneaky moves on the track. Maybe she can examine your eyes while you’re flattened on the track!

I never heard of roller derby until my husband took me to watch a bout. I loved it and really needed a hobby.

 

What was the hardest part of passing your min skills test?

Transitions…enough said!

Just under a year.

All of it – the friends you make, even nasty bruises & blisters after a sweaty workout.

 

What is your least favorite part?

I really can’t think of anything!

 

What is your derby goal for the next year?
