Not to be outdone by the rocket-launching duo, PVRD’s stripes insisted that the best way to prepare for a bout was to do the penguin slide. Of course, you’re only successful if you can make it through without knocking down the hockey stick…
(Watch closely at 0:37 and you’ll see a toe stop come flying off.)
What’s your favorite way to prepare for a bout? Let us know below!

Kid Vicious couldn’t live without knee socks in every color.
She would like to bring back the rule where jam refs had to hold hands during a no jammer situation because “that’s just adorable.”
Kid’s favorite weapon of destruction is a flame thrower (as it also does double duty as a popcorn maker!)
Kid Vicious would like to know that there are few other sports where you can be a total badass and still look cute doing it.

Legend likes to knock out her opponents with her favorite drill: hip and shoulder check.
No one plays Legend in the movie about her life – the directors couldn’t find anyone cool enough.
So…why do they call you Legend? Is the question that LHnT hears most often. She suggests you ask her in sarcasm, as she’s fluent.
Legend loves roller derby because of the physicality of the sport, the strategies, tactics, and camaraderie.

Gale can’t live without her big, thick, squishy butt pads.
She wouldn’t reveal all the secrets of her lair, but Gale did admit that some of the items inside included bunny slippers and snacks.
Gale’s favorite weapon of destruction is love, sweet love.
Roller derby is something she always wanted to try, Gale admits when people ask her about it and she says it’s a hard, but fun, workout too.

Molly can’t live without her PVRD hoodie.
She likes the fun, fast, and super competitive drills called Blood and Thunder.
“Build a shelter, find food” is Molly’s answer to being stranded on a desert island. “I’ve watched enough survival shows to know what to do.”
Her favorite weapon of destruction is a musket, of course! But she might attach a flame thrower to the end for that extra kick.
Molly’s derby motto: It’s the only way I can legally knock someone down without getting into a bar fight.
