Jet City Roller Derby

News Type: Regular

  • Derby Book Club!

    Last month, four Snohomish elementary schools hosted book club meetings after their students read Rollergirl, a popular graphic novel by former Rose City (Portland) skater Victoria Jamieson aka Minnie the Pow. At the schools’ invitation, Jet City Roller Derby sent Angelica Della Morte, Adelaide Herout, Whoa Nellie!, Chic-lets Rock and Twisted Spinster over to share their love of derby with the students.

    The students discussed how the main character in the book changed throughout the story before making up their own roller derby names and enjoying roller derby-themed snacks (bloody band-aid graham crackers). Some students even “dyed” their hair like the book’s heroine using hair chalk while everyone enjoyed posing for their roller derby portraits in the hand-painted skater cut-out made by our own Angelica Della Morte.

    Our league loved meeting these enthusiastic young fans of reading and roller derby! We encouraged them to come watch a bout in person, so if you see them in the stands ask them to tell you all about Rollergirl!

    She has done so much work for the league—I don’t think half of us know how many times she’s been on the board. She comes to SO MANY of the flyering events too
    Because she me told to. JUST KIDDING. Cia does a lot of behind the scene work that goes unnoticed. She’s always willing to take work on without complaint (well, much anyway bahaha). Cia has steped up in the past when no one else would and took on major roles like president and Bombers Captain two seasons in a row. More importantly- she’s one of our old goats and holds the heart and soul of Jet City. I guess I should change my name to “Cia I-WANNA-bia!
    why wouldn’t I?!
    She has dedicated almost a decade of service to the league. She’s a sucky Alt.1 on a roster, but her work ethic is on point. She aight.
    For all her work on the BOD and behind the scenes to keep Jet running <3
    Observant and supportive

    Stepping up in more ways than one! She’s taking on a lot of responsibility in this league and always does it with a smile and laugh!
    yay! Kicking ass and taking names as BP lead!
    For taking on all the BP stuff. She’s also really funny and great skater!
    She willingly stepped into the role of BP co-lead! I appreciate her hard work for the league <3
    AK tells it like it is, is funny as hell, and has been really stepping up to the plate on all levels derby.
    Because she’s handling her BP lead job like a boss, in addition to wrangling 25 cats as co-captain of the Aviators.
