What does “roller derby” make you think?


Follow-up: What would your derby nickname be?

LAURA WEINBRENNER | Student | Monterey

A: I play field hockey, and it’s like that: A bunch of tough chicks, with sticks as weapons. I’m lookin’ to knock you down and then pick you up.

Hello Hollywood: I’d be “Knockdown Dragon.”

JASON SHARRETT | Development associate | Monterey

A: I don’t quite understand it but the girls are like mountain lions – sleek, fast and fiesty. You wouldn’t really find packs of mountain lions, though, which I guess makes the girls that much more unique.

Green Giant: “The Organic Warrior.”

AMANDA CARLILE | Medical Assistant | Carmel Valley

A: The girls rolling and shoving each other kind of reminds me of wrestling with my kids.

Prescription Strength: “Bad Medicine.”
