Future Derby Girl School Paper
January 2nd, 2010“Women’s Roller Derby Dishes Out Fun, Friendship and Fitness” by Taylor Hickey
The article I read was “Women’s Roller Derby Dishes Out Fun, Friendship and Fitness.” It begins with Amber Mori who drives a forklift in a warehouse in Gaithersburg, Maryland telling the
reporter about her experience with roller derby. Twice a week Amber transforms into “Cykosis” kwon for wearing fish-net stockings and being a skatin’ diva while bumping and jabbing her way around a roller rink. Amber has been skating over a year as a member of the roller derby team names the “Mason Dixon Roller Vixens.” What now is a passion started out as an escapade. “I love it; it’s a great way to get out, be invigorated—and the companionship is wonderful,” says Mori. “And I’ve got legs as strong as pythons.”
