My idea of a normal home bout day: Wake up excited and nervous. Eat breakfast—an egg sandwich. Go shopping for the bake sale [at the bout]. Go to the venue to set up the floor. Eat lunch. Think about napping while making bake sale cookies or washing fruit for fruit cups. Realize I am supposed to be at venue in half an hour. Panic. Run around house packing bag and finishing bake sale stuff. Drive quickly and sneak in, hoping no one noticed! Sell merch. Hit people. Have fun.

I love derby!

Wait for burger while tummy is growling. Eat Dance. Sleep.

If the Hot Chocolate Run Finish Line was a Movie…

When they’re not perfecting their moves in practice or zooming around opponents in a bout, PVRD skaters look for opportunities to give back to the community.

For the past couple of years, the league has volunteered to hand out mugs to participants at the annual Hot Chocolate Run for Safe Passage, a benefit for a local shelter. This year, over 5,000 people—including some PVRDers—completed the 5K run and a 2 mile walk through downtown Northampton.

Skaters described the event as “a good cause” and “absolutely inspirational.” (See an interview of a couple of PVRDers on WWLP 22 and a gallery of photos from the day.)

What would the movie version of the volunteer effort look like? Take a look below to see one possible trailer option.

Lady Hulk prefers to wear little purple shorts when she’s out on the track, especially when it’s time for her favorite move: the (Lady Hulk Smash) booty/sternum block!

When you picture Lady Hulk think of She-Hulk with roller skates and a mouthguard. Lady Hulk dreams of looking like that.

Lady Hulk says that Lady Hulk is a weapon of mass destruction.

Asked to expound on roller derby while on a daytime talk show, Lady Hulk is likely to say: Lady Hulk loves derby, derby teammates and derby league. Derby gives Lady Hulk friends, exercise, and an excuse to knock people over. Lady Hulk also loves roller skates.
