Springfield Roller Girls

Southwest Missouri’s premier all-female flat track roller derby league

 
She has escaped from Azkaban and is out for revenge. She’ll leave you with more than a lightening bolt scar when you meet her on the track. Her hits hurt more than the Cruciatus Curse. She’s the unforgivable, Bellatrix LePain.

Who is your derby crush? Must go with Krissy Krash
How did you come up with your derby name?: Love Harry Potter and the idea of having a pure evil alter-ego. I think Bellatrix is more dangerous than the Dark Lord himself.
How and when did you get involved in roller derby? : I saw a Facebook event for a skills clinic last September. I went to the clinic, sucked terribly and showed up for more punishment the next practice.
Have you had any derby-related serious injuries? : I sprained my knee pretty good at my first bout in Texas. I skated on it the rest of the bout and didn’t realize something was really wrong until I woke the next morning
Favorite position to play and why: : I’m a blocker. I love making holes for my jammer and when opposing blockers try to hit me and just bounce off.
What kind of skates and wheels do you use?: I still use my Reidell R3’s with G-Rod 2.0 wheels.
What’s your favorie rookie moment?: When I passed my 25in5 for the first time with my Rowdy. The whole league, BBs and All-Stars alike, were cheering for us. It was deafening.
Most exciting moment in your derby career?: Hitting an opposing blocker so hard she fell, the crowd moaned, and the announcer commented on it.
What do you do on game day?: Apparently, nap and then get really nervous.
Who is your hero?: Rusty Razorskates
Favorite team to play against and why:: Amarillo Rt. 66. They were excellent hosts and showed us how it’s done in Texas.
