2025: A Derby Year, Stitched in Chaos.
11 seasons in, and derby is still speed, impact, and choosing to launch myself into other humans on wheels for joy. 🛼💥
Eleven years of building a life on the track — bruises earned, lessons learned, heart wide open.
I’ve skated with the Knockouts, the Scream Queens, Small Wonder, and Divergence. I’ve hauled this love across Michigan (twice!), New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and all over Pennsylvania. I’ve battled it out at Centre of the Universe, Battle of the B Teams, Fresh Coast Frenzy, and Skate Wars. I showed up hungry. I leveled up. My footwork finally matched the fire in my chest — and I felt it every jam.
Then the season hit pause.
Not from lack of grit — just my body asking me to slow the roll. 🙃
But here’s the thing:
Derby didn’t stop — it shifted.
Straps by CRASH became my way of staying locked into the sport when I couldn’t be full-send on the track. This year I poured my energy into creating custom armbands, jam straps, helmet covers, and gear built by a skater, for skaters — pieces meant to hold you together, hype you up, and make you feel like the unhinged superhero you are.
Every stitch is derby love.
Every order is community.
Every piece is a reminder that even off-skates, we still contribute.
Healing doesn’t mean disappearing.
It means creating differently.
And while I rebuild my body, I’m still building for this sport — hyping your bouts, backing your leagues, and making gear that shows up as hard as you do.
This gremlin isn’t done.
I’ll be back — stronger, stranger, louder.
Until then, I’ll be here:
sewing chaos, fueling confidence, and stitching myself deeper into derby.
Derby forever.
CRASH forever. 🛼🖤✂️
