    We get high on the smell of burnt rubber from our toe stops slamming into and streaking the polished wood floors. None of us were the most popular girl, all fitting somewhat outside of the traditional social hierarchy in life, but social leprosy is not a defining characteristic. Are we all thrill-seekers? Yes, yes we are. There is something else though too, something not so tangible.

    We all might just be slightly masochistic. It may not be divine pleasure achieved from the friction burns, bruised and battered egos, or broken noses, but we wear them with pride. Overcoming the pain transcends all other achievements. It is an escape from the monotonous void that is life part of the time, or most of the time depending on who you are.

    The roller derby community can shelter you from the chaos of your existence. For many it is the net that catches you when the scales tip and balance is lost. From the moment you lose your maiden name, your life has changed. People will no longer know you as Cecilia, but as Re-AnimateHer. The girl looks in the mirror. She wears thigh high striped red and black stockings held up by a mid-century white lace garter belt, s style matte black high waistline shorts, and a belly-button bearing cropped red Lycra top. Each hair has found its ideal niche on her head, each and every eyelash has been strained to reach the peak of its potential, and her lips have been stained the color of blood.

    A year ago, this girl would have been appalled by her own destiny to dawn this uniform. In fact, she would have been appalled even looking into the mirror at all. But much like the creatures of the primordial ooze, she has evolved, and this girl today is just having a normal Saturday night. I did not know what I was getting myself into the first time I laced up my skates and put my cheaply formed mouth guard in. It made me drool and spit when I spoke.

    Audible grunts and moans escaped my chapped lips. Sweat molecules combined with mascara to cause partial blindness, and my cheeks were eternally red; the sign of discomfort. Would I be good at this? Would the bullying from you youth follow me here? I did not want to be that girl anymore.

    I needed something to change my perspective on myself. It had been morphed and skewed. I saw a Picasso in the mirror each time that I could conserve enough courage to even look. I did not have the strength to overcome the decrepit demons that followed me into adulthood alone. Maybe this would be my salvation from myself. The moment that I made the team, that moment that I could scrimmage, my life forever changed.

    The first time I jammed, my heart raced. It was the scariest moment of my life. Something happened as I returned to the bench as a defeated wannabe warrior.

    I was intoxicated by the freedom of making it through the horde of blockers. I had finally earned my name. The honor of having a roller derby name, that thing that your sweat and tears go into creating; your persona, well she had finally been born. She was a new woman to me entirely. She was one that I actually liked. She was sassy, and for the first time in my life, this woman felt sexy. She was the woman that I was always meant to be. If I would have known that all it would take was putting on a pair of skates and some high waisted short shorts for Charlie Horsepower to be a part of this world, I would have come out of the womb rolling.

    One exceptional woman from each team dawns a star cover on her helmet. She is the jammer. She jukes, runs, jumps, and jams herself between blockers to gain ten seconds or less of freedom as she crosses one leg over the other, seeming to defy the speed of light. Her red and black striped stockings blur from the power of her form. She is her own hero in that moment, and once in a while, that woman is me. Staff Submissions Advertise Code of Conduct.
