Derby Girl of the Month: May: Bonnie ‘N’ Collide


Bonnie ‘N’ Collide is Charlottetown Original. She joined Red Rock ‘N Roller Derby on Day 1 and is, to this day, one of the most committed skaters. She is a born skater who is quick in her quads with a hit that sends ‘em flying! Bonnie always offers support to any struggling skater and is a real sweetheart. We love her dedication, drive, and dedication to roller derby.

 

AB: Bonnie ‘N Collide, your derby sisters (and bros!) adore you so much that we’ve named you our May Girl! How does being voted Derby Girl of the Month inspire you?
BnC: I’m very honored, and it lifts me up to try even harder. Thank you all so much~!

AB: What brought you to roller derby?
BnC: My love for roller skating as a kid. Was worried about the contact of the sport, but apparently I’m good at it :)

AB: We have recently integrated some new skaters (who passed fresh meat training) into our regular league practices. Is there any advice that you can offer to these new skaters?
BnC: It’s simple. DON’T GIVE UP! Our new skaters are awesome and I look forward to getting to know them. If you need help with anything you have some awesome league members always there.

AB: What part of your derby “uniform” really exposes your alter ego?
BnC: I’m usually sporting a bandana to absorb sweat from my head :P I like to have skulls as much as possible. Usually wearing my “skull hands” booty shorts, skull knee socks, skull tape. Itching to do some shopping and looking forward to official uniforms!!

AB: What’s your favorite derby position?
BnC: When we first started I was sold on the Jammer position, now I like being a blocker!

AB: Do you enjoy outdoor skating? Why or why not?
I love skating outside, so nice to have beautiful PEI scenery and fresh air while skating.

AB: Who is your favorite roller derby player?
BnC: Suzy Hotrod, Bonnie D. Stoir is very inspiring. After watching the World Cup I fell in love with Iron Wench, she is the bomb!

AB: So, you’re covered in tattoos! Got and future ink on the horizon?
BnC: Always think about more ink! Who knows, a Derby tattoo might be something I need ;)

AB: While we all drool over your awesome skating, is there any skill that you feel you need to work on?
BnC: I definitely have to learn to fall instead of trying to recover from being hit cause then I end up being Bambi on speed and come crashing down and hurting myself lol.

AB: We are about to form teams and begin our first competitive season; what are your goals and aspirations for 2012?
BnC: I’m nervous about our first bout and excited at the same time. It’s goin to be a rush I imagine. I would like to surprise people “as a team” with how far we’ve come along as a league and kick some ass!!

Derby Girl of the Month: April Edition

Presenting…our very first Derby Girl of the Month!

Lady G Slip’er has been a part of Red Rock ‘N Roller Derby since its inception and not only is she our VP but she is a killer jammer and rockin’ blocker. Many skaters aspire to move as naturally and effortlessly as she does in her quads. On top of her kickass skating skills, she is a sincere person who always steps up to help a fellow derby sister whether on or off the track. 2012 will be our first bouting season so keep you eyes on our wicked prize, Lady G! – Annie Biotix

AB: Hey Lady G Slip’er! How did you get that name and number?
LGS:  My name, “Lady G Slip’er” refers to my love for PEI- our provincial
flower is the Lady Slipper. My last name is Griffin so I threw the “G” in
there. My derby nickname is “Lady G”. My number is #2.4; it represents a 2-4
of beer! Haha

 

AB: What attracted you to roller derby?
LGS: To be honest, I saw “Whip It” when it came out because Drew Barrymore
directed it. I’d never heard of Roller Derby before that. I remember
thinking “WOW! Something THAT cool would NEVER happen on PEI!!”. A while
after that I picked up the G! magazine and saw that yes…Derby was going to
start on PEI!! I was so excited; I knew I wanted to do it!!

 

AB: You’re really great in any position you play on the track, do you have a
preferred  or a goal role?
LGS: Thanks! I love being a Blocker; using my booty for all it’s worth on
the track! My goal role is to be a Jammer though. It’s so exciting and
empowering!! I can’t even describe the feeling I get waiting for that
whistle to go, racing around the track, getting through the pack and scoring
points.. . it’s just amazing.

 

AB: Speaking of goals, what are your roller derby goals for 2012 since this
will be the league’s first bouting season?
LGS: I’m a little nervous but completely excited!! My main goal for this
season is for the Red Rock N Roller Derby League to host a few bouts! I am so
excited for Islanders to absorb the derby fever!! I would love to take all
our strategies, hard work and derby love to the track to win a few too ;)

 

A.B: Do you have any alter ego must haves in your derby closet?
LGS: I feel like derby has allowed me to channel my true self. My closet and
my derby closet seem to be quite similar these days! I have embraced my love
for short skirts, knee high socks and fishnets/tights on an daily basis :)

 

A.B: Who is your favorite derby persona and why?
LGS: There’s so many to choose from! I’ve met so many amazing derby gals over the last year, all amazing women! Ninja Simone from Montreal’s “Les Contrabanditas” is pretty bad-ass, Rainbow Fight from  Newfoundland’s “709 Derby Girls” is all around amazing!! Georgia W. Tush from Montreal’s “New Skids on the Block”  is an inspiration and Burn’N RubHer  from Moncton’s Muddy River Rollers is an amazing jammer!!

 

A.B: Is there any piece of equipment that you could never live without?
LGS: Ugh, I am so thankful for my wrist guards!! They have saved my life on so many occasions!!

 

A.B: What, if any, roller derby injuries have you suffered?
LGS: So far; just some (pathetic) bruises and pinches. I did land on my own skate one time and had a perfect wheel-shaped bruise on my ass!! That was pretty painful/funny.

 

A.B: Many people have fought for your love this past year. How has the ”derby wife” impacted your life and past year?
LGS: Haha, yeah, this is true, I have 5 wives!! It’s been amazing though, I truly appreciate all the amazing friendships I’ve made over the past year. I am so lucky. I’ve never had a lot of gal pals, so to have so many wonderful, strong, smart women around me has been empowering. I love all my wives so much; massages, advice, drinking buddies, amazing haircuts, hugs and laughs are just the icing on my derby wife cake!!

 

A.B: It means a lot for your teammates to vote you as their derby girl of the month. You are the hero of our league for an entire month! How does that affect your roller derby spirit?
LGS: I am honoured and humbled to be voted the first Derby Girl of the Month!! It’s amazing to be the hero of the league for my birthday month too! I have a lot of derby love and will continue to carry it with me (I am always recruiting!). I work really hard to encourage, support and guide my derby sisters and I am truly thankful for this vote!! See ya’ll on the track!
