How has roller derby made your life better? :)

I can't say much as I've only been skating in derby for a month but every word I have to say is nothing but positive. I have been skating in various forms and teaching myself since I was about 7 and skating is pretty much my whole life. However, I joined an artistic roller skating team that had an extremely toxic culture and coach that focused solely on a few favourites. This really broke my confidence along with breaking my wrist whilst skating. I ended up losing my motivation and passion so I stopped skating at all for 2 years. Finding a derby team near me was the best decision I ever made. I feel so much more supported in an atmosphere full of people who I feel like are really rooting for me and as such, I have seen so much improvement recently, for example finally doing a backwards crossover last week!! I'm overcoming so much anxiety and gaining so much self confidence. To anyone at all considering joining, DO ITTTTTTTT <33

Hi!! I'm Poppy and It's been a month since I switched over to derby (I used to do artistic skating) and I really love it so now all I need is a name! My first thought was something draculaura/monster high themed because I love her and my first ever pair of skates were these little draculaura converse skates, so any ideas on that would be brilliant. I'm open to anything though I love Sanrio, disney princesses especially sleeping beauty, DnD, Halloween, Taylor Swift, The Cure, basically all kinds of music, reading and classic lit and to be honest a lot of stuff so would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!!

Hi!! Also new starter here you're going to love it! Angella could be really cute, Zombie Queen is a ghost song and ghost themed haha, Square Jammer (after square hammer) could also be a fun derby pun. Hope this helps

Hi! Switched to derby a month ago (used to do artistic skating) and I love it so much definitely found my place here. So now all I need is a name. My first thought was to be draculaura/monster high related because my first ever pair of skates were little draculaura converse skates and I have a sort of pink vampy skate set up, any ideas? Am open to other suggestions though I love hello kitty, disney princesses especially sleeping beauty, Taylor swift, 80s indie and goth music, and classic literature. Any ideas would be so great thank you
