 We had an awesome time participating in the 54th Annual Woodland Holiday Parade Christmas in Toyland! It was a fun time for all showing off our roller derby skills and passing out candy to parade goers. Check out these fun photos from the parade.

  Some tough WARDies spent this Saturday at the Sonoma Raceway participating in the 2018 Tough Mudder NorCal. We made it through 20 obstacles over a 10 miles course with the help of our teammates and many other participants. It was a fantastic day full of friends, fun, team work, and lots and lots of mud!!!
Check out our before and after pictures from the day. We may be smiling in the "after" but we were pooped! If the mud ain't flyin, you ain't tryin!
What advice do you have for new skaters?
Don't give up! If you fall, wipe yourself off and keep on skating. Always keep your knees bent and eyes up. What are your non-derby hobbies? Mommy duties and trying to take over the world! What do you do in real life? I'm a wife and mother of 5. Congrats to Skull, she recently met her goal and completed her 27/5! 27 laps in under 5 minutes??? You go girl!
Go you have a goal for this year?
I would love to work on my endurance for jamming as well as finding strategies for taller derby players to hit hard in the right places without compromising their own balance. What advice do you have for new skaters? Keep coming to practice! I was super frustrated with not making progress as quickly as I wanted to but then I started skating almost every day and really committed myself, and I've made leaps and bounds in the last few months. What do you do in real life? I'm currently a 3rd year undergraduate student at the University of Oregon where I'll be studying English and Deaf Studies. I work as a Registered Behavior Technician with children with Autism, and I'm a beta reader for novels as a hobby. Join us for a weekend full of roller derby!

How did you discover derby?
My water aerobics instructor asked me if I'd ever wanted to play roller derby. Before I could answer, my best friend said yes it's always been her dream. Then I ended up joining the team the next week. Do you have a goal for this year? To knock off the last 13 seconds to get my 27/5 (CONGRATS to you, you did it!) What advice do you have for new skaters? Stay low and don't be afraid to fall, we all do :) What are your non-derby hobbies? Reading and collecting strange nick-knacks. What do you do in real life? I am a den mother to a pack of wild animals and kids.
Do you have a goal for this year?
Be the best I can be at derby!! What advice do you have for new skaters? Try it and keep coming back! Go outside your comfort zone! What are your non-derby hobbies? Being a mother! What do you do in real life? Warehouse worker. Let's give a big shout out to Boogie!
How did you discover derby?
Batsy is my little big sister! (she's shorter but older) She'd been asking me to come out for some time but I always found a reason not to. Wanting to get out and meet people and get back into that feeling of being part of a team again, I decided to finally just join. Do you have a goal for this year? Improve my stability and control! Sometimes I get carried away...I lose my stability and end up skating stiffly. What advice do you have for new skaters? Practice, practice, practice! The sport is very welcoming to newcomers, but you've gotta put in the work. What are your non-derby hobbies? Gaming, art, and music. I love playing video games with friends, crafting and drawing, and playing my flute. What do you do in real life? I am a behavior assistant in Woodland and Davis. I am also a high school track and cross country coach. |
