Lunachic Reports - Meat Kris
“So what if you ARE the worst skater?” retorted my husband after listening to me vocalize my apprehension about committing to OPCDG’s January recruitment for the nth time. “Would you let that stop you from doing something you want to do?” I stopped whining for a second and definitively answered, “No.” That settled it; I was going to do this thing.
The derby deck seems stacked against me: I’m not...

Lunachic Reports - Meat Alicia
Hello All! My name is Alicia, I’m a 28yr old mother of 2, and I’ve done something a bit…. daring… I’ve joined the Roller Derby!! I know you’re probably all thinking that this has come out of left field and that I’ve totally lost it. You’re probably right. I had heard about the local team (the Orlando Psycho City Derby Girls) a little while back from a...

Lunachic Reports - Meat Stephanie
I was so nervous my first day of practice after recruitment. I was worried how I would look next to some of the girls. I am not eighteen anymore. I have a job, and attend college full time. I also have a husband and three small children. I am not in the best shape of my life anymore. For the first time I was worried about being accepted. I never played sports in high school. I was in the Army for...

Lunachic Report - Meat Finn Geremy
Last night I missed the derby prom for a work event. At work, I am the little kid music teacher with the ugly (but crazy comfortable) shoes. One of my coworkers, the rockstar, let it out that she saw a facebook post of me doing derby, which led to a bunch of questions about black eyes, bruises, and my 7 pound weight loss. I’ve had a bunch of interesting responses. My boyfriend was just excited...

Lunachic Reports - Meat Ashley
Hey there, I’m Ashley and I’m going through the Lunachic recruitment for Psycho City Derby Girls. I’ve been watching derby for a little over a year ago now but I just went to my first Psycho City game in November and ever since then wanted to be a Psycho. I immediately bought my skates the next week and started volunteering with the league. I’ve really only been...

Lunachic Reports - Meat Emi
Roller derby….
I am currently in recruitment for the Orlando Psycho City Derby Girls. I didn’t really know what to expect, yes I’ve seen Whip It, but its not the same as actually seeing and doing it in real life.
The last time I was on ‘quads’ was on the Fisher-Price ones that attach onto your shoes, that make that horrible sound as your going down the sidewalk (the road is too dangerous), going...

Lunachic Reports - Meat Angela
Hi ! I’m Angie, a 30 year old female finally coming into her own and being comfortable with who I am. Like many girls and women I have struggled with confidence. Confidence in who I am as a person, how I look and how I must behave in order to be seen as “acceptable”. The reason I signed up for roller derby is because from the first moment I saw the girls interviews on the...

Lunachic Reports - Meat Itzel!
Itzel? Who is that and why is her name so weird? You may ask! I am here to answer those questions about second time Luna Itzel! There is not much to say about me. I am a full time student, I have two jobs, and I have a lot of pent up anger and a desire to make myself a much better person physically, and mentally.
I am not the most athletic person ever. To tell you the truth I’m kind of a nerdy...

Lunachic Reports - Meat Ruby Ruff n Tumble
So today was the first official practice for the Lunachics. I was so nervous. All day I had a quesy feeling in my tummy about practice. I was finally making the jump from zebra to derby girl. I know some of the basics so the practice wasn’t too hard but I am still having a hard time staying on my feet. Fortunately today we learned falls! I felt that I did well. My knees don’t hurt and...
