Rebel Rouser (Dorri) - #12
My derby name came from....The phrase "rabble rouser" is defined as an individual who is an inflammatory orator, someone who makes powerful speeches that incite intense emotion from crowds of people. Recruiting them to violence or to annihilate the opposing team. Also I'm a total rebel, and puns!

I've been involved with BCRD since...May 2017. I joined derby having absolutely zero experience- my first day at practice was the first day I had ever stood up on roller skates. I was terrified, but the girls were so accepting and had my back, and the coaches help you every step of the way. There is no reason to hesitate! Joining roller derby was the best decision I've made in a long time.
I've been playing Derby since...May 2017.
Other ways I'm involved in derby are...I work with our social media accounts and often bartend bouts and help with bout makeup.

I've been involved with BCRD since...June 2013
I've been playing Derby since...I officially started skating in 2014 and gained another injury. 2015 I started playing contact derby with strategic drills and it was so exciting.

What I love about derby is....I cant find no other sport that gives me the same high Roller Derby does. The game is way more than just rolling around and mindlessly hitting. It's strategy, its speed with agility. It's the rush of a fast wall and a proper legal hit. It's the beauty of getting knocked down and getting up faster every time. Finally it's the successful win you and your team mates acquire together. The win, the rush, the beer with friends.
My day job is...Early Childhood Specialist Educator.
"When the Derby bug gets yah I promise you, you wont forget it. Have fun, buy some good gear and skate everyday and roll on all fours."

Siren (Shirley) - #17
My derby name came from... I have been a professional poker player for more than 15 year despite the fact it's typically considered a "man's game." When I started playing online, I chose the name "Siren" from Homer's Odyssey. Similar to the sirens of the sea who lured sailors to their death with their beautiful song, I lured men to their financial death with a smile (or cleavage 😉). The name stuck with me after that so I just kept it when I joined derby.
I'm from...Torrance.

My day job is...web entrepreneur, professional poker player, all-star cheerleading gym owner.
"I'm a breast cancer survivor and despite it being a difficult experience, it taught me a lot about myself. I appreciate the small things and try to live life to the fullest."

Derby is a perfect outlet; we get to feed our competitive side and push ourselves mentally and physically to be at our best while also wanting our opponents to bring their 'A' game too so we can all have a great scrimmage or bout.
My day job is....in Information Technology.

Bee AFREY'D (Alyssa) - #44
My derby name came from....My boss actually came up with it originally. I didn't commit to it at first in case there was another name I wanted to go by, however, a few months had passed and some other people from the league had mentioned the same name and I figured 'thats the one!'. I wanted something that incorporated my name, so changing the spelling of "be afraid" allowed me to do that. I also changed 'be' to 'bee' so that I could have a form of symbolism.

Cherry BomB (Sherry) - #91
My derby name came from....My name was given to me before I even joined Roller derby, by a good friend named AZ.
I'm from...Torrance.
I've been involved with BCRD since...April 2013.
Other ways I'm involved in derby are...Besides getting on the track and playing. I try and do my what I can and help out wherever is needed. Currently I am Committee Head of BCRD Sponsorship, and also in Bout production, PR and Marking and Fundraising committees. I am on the USA Roller Sports (USARS) Marketing Committee. Best of it all is I have a daughter (Shorty) that plays Jr Roller Derby.
What I love about derby is....What is not to love about roller derby? Roller Derby is a place that you will always be accepted and welcome. What about the names? Your alter ego derby name I just love. Roller Derby transforms you physically, mentally and especially emotionally. I agree with what Derby referee Zeke and father of Sweetie Sanguinate-He wrote Derby girls have an atypical relationship with their bodies, where they value it for what it can do, how it can deliver their own personal excellence. They are directly rewarded for their investment of time and energy. They are more in tune, closer aligned and less self-conscious of their physical nature.
