Backroad Barbie #20

 

Position: Blocker

 

Why did you pick your derby name and number?

When I started derby, I had extremely long blonde hair, and I called it my Barbie hair. And the Backroad comes from loving to drive around in the country and have a good time. So... Backroad Barbie!!
And #20 was for 2.0 because I took a few years off and came back as a new version

What do you like about roller derby?

I really like to hit people. And I love having fun with my teammates!

 

What is your most impressive derby injury?

Sprained shoulder and wrist at the same time or a torn meniscus. Not sure which was more impressive. Ha!

 

Do you have any advice for people thinking about trying derby?

Try it! Give it a good shot. If it's not for you, at least you can say you did it, and you'll get to meet some awesome people!!
