You’re not a fully fledged derby girl until you have a derby name and for me this has been a long time coming.

It’s been seven months, and over that time I’ve come up with some cool original names only to find out that someone had snapped that name up before me. I’ve tried out con vicious, concusser, and my personal favorite Evel Conevil, which I was gutted to find out was to similar to another derby girl in NZ. I had it all planned out with evel con evil and was going to have 151 as my number as that was the distance in feet that the crazy stunt devil made it across the fountains in front of Caesar's Palace before plummeting down and nearly killing himself. I think the original evel probably spent more time breaking bones then he did mending them, he was one amazing stunt man.

6 months and I haven’t missed a training yet and it’s all in the hope that one day I’ll be awesome on my skates or I can die trying. To me life is all about challenging yourself if you don’t challenge yourself life just gets boring.

Last year I ran my first ever half marathon crossing that finish line was the biggest achievement ever for me because I’m the type of girl that cant run 2 minutes down the road without getting the stitch or gasping for air. So after completing something I thought I’d never do I was ready for my next challenge. Reading an article about Richter City Roller Derby, a group of Wellington girls who started a Wellington roller derby league I knew this was something I definitely wanted to be apart of.
