Our Skater of the Month for April is Alex the Great! Alex is a newcomer to our league, joining the Natural Disasters team just this past December. But don’t let her rookie status or sweet smile fool you – this girl is a dynamo, both on and off the track! Whether delivering a swift booty block to a passing opponent or practicing her own quick feet on the jammer line, Alex hasn’t slowed down since she first strapped on her skates in fresh meat last June. And...

Our skater of the month for February is the multi-talented Craig Graves! From refereeing and bout production to social media and promotion, Craig wears a lot of hats here at NWA Roller Derby. A lifelong skater, Craig credits his abilities to trying all kinds of tricks, even pulling 360′s over the limbo stick as a kid. Off the track, he’s a quiet laid-back kind of guy, but when he’s part of the referee lineup (where he’s known as The Kraigermeister),...

Her versatility as a skater allows her to transition from blocker to jammer to pivot seamlessly. Wop’s illustrious career with the league includes leading the All-Stars as captain, serving first as treasury and now as secretary, and molding the fresh meat candidates into derby girls. Off the track, Wop...

Emma “The Denialator” Bridwell came to us in the Spring of 2011 as a fresh, quiet, skater looking for a new hobby and a change of scenery. With her past time in rinks and her drive to succeed, “D” quickly caught the attention of coaches and fellow skaters with her skater form and speed. Soon, she made her way to the All-Star team and has been a blocker there ever since. D’s teammates are happy to have her swift booty come in for the attack on...

Name: Venus de Monic Nickname: Venus, or on occasion The Demon What’s the origin of your name? I love art. Joe was taking art history class at the time and we formed the name based off of Venus de Milo. Number: 1820 What does your number mean? It is the year that Venus de Milo was discovered. She was pulled out of the rubble and put back together (except for the arms obviously); her origins remain a mystery but she is still priceless. Team: All Stars, B-team, Gatlin Girls...
