About Me:

I just work here. I keep statistics for the local league, which becomes necessary when you're skating unscripted derby and want to determine the skaters' strong and weak points and observe their improvements. I also help out a bit with marketing the league to locals.

I want RollerSports action to come to my town so that I can see it live.

I am a skater, and would like to know how I can try out for a team.

no

The thing I remember most about RollerGames/RollerDerby is:

Needed less splash, more substance. I prefer a real athletic competition with the outward trappings of a spectacle. As opposed to a spectacle with the outward trappings of a real athletic competition. Your mileage may vary.

My Favorite Music:

As many here do not like pseudonyms, I enjoy the works of James Newell Osterberg Jr., Lewis Allen Reed, Jeffry Ross Hyman, Douglas Colvin, John Cummings, Thomas Erdelyi and David Jones.

You might know them better as Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, The Ramones and David Bowie. Fake names are inherently evil, though, so I typed in their real ones.

My Favorite TV Shows:

The Sopranos, Rome, Deadwood, The Colbert Report, Daily Show (John Stewart), and the news. Our local city council meetings tend to be surprisingly entertaining, as our Mayor has a quick wit.

Something nobody knows about me:

Most know more than they'd care to.
