Get To Know The Roller Girls-Pretty Perilous

Casper's own A'Salt Creek Roller Girls kick off their season this Saturday in what should be a fantastic return to the track. While taking a very deserved 4 month sabbatical to heal up and recruit, the Madams of Mayhem will hit the track with renewed vigor and unleash some pent-up aggression...on each other! This bout has special rules, and you'll be able to determine the outcome! Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door, and are available at the WAC east side, Sonic Rainbow,  Kim's Closet east side location, Nate's Flowers, and at our studios, 150 N. Nichols.

As we get ready for another hard-hitting season, we'll spend this week re-acquainting you with some of your favorites, and introducing you to some fresh meet. Today, we take a look at derby Veteran Pretty Perilous...

Skater Name: Pretty Perilous

Number: 23

Reason for your Name: The reasoning behind my name was that I wanted something that said good-looking yet dangerous. Marilyn and Bettie are pretty common in roller derby names as they embody beauty and sexiness and everything a pinup girl stands for, so they were out. So pretty came to mind. Then I just had to find an adjective that started with "P" so as to alliterate the name as I find that to be fun. Hence Pretty Perilous was born.

Loves: I love being a blocker because it is strategical as well as having more contact with other skaters. I am also wide in the hips and shoulders, so go with what you have!

Despises: I dislike being a blocker in the respect that being a jammer is so much more glamorous and you get to skate faster!

Why you joined Derby: I joined roller derby because Melanie brought the idea to me and I thought it would be fun. Then I watched the L.A. Derby Dolls on youtube and it made me get goosebumps and I knew I was in love!

Life Outside of Derby: My life outside of derby is work and kids. I have two beautiful girls that are so funny individually and together. They keep me busy as they both destructive! Like mother like daughter, as they say. HULK SMASH!!
