Roller Doll Profile: Luna Landing

Derby Name: Luna Landing
Number: 9

What does your derby name mean to you?
Hopefully it will inspire me to greatness and not just landing on my arse! The Luna 9 spacecraft was the first to make a soft landing on the moon in 1966. Plus it has nice alliteration.

How long have you been skating?
Since August 2009 with LRD, plus I raced around the estate on hefty old quad skates in the early 80s

Have you had any impressive skating/derby injuries yet?
Some splendid thigh and calf bruises and a couple of painful coccyx falls. Must remember to stop before hitting the wall too!

What's your best move/technique?
Hmmmm...still working on it!

Roller derby pet hate?
The dreaded knee fall drills - all for our own good I know but it goes on forever!!

What's your favourite roller derby anthem/tunes to skate to?
Usually something ancient by The Rolling Stones

Favourite roller derby quote?
"Wow I want to play too!" which is the reaction of most people with a pulse!

When the Hollywood all star cast film "Leeds Roller Dolls- The Movie" is made, who will play you?
Linda Hamilton as she was in Terminator 2 would be cool. But then I'd need a time machine to go back and get her as she's too old now - definitely want to be played by a younger fitter model!

Where do you plan to retire with your derby millions?
Somewhere slightly finer in Yorkshire - I shall never leave I love it! Must have a velodrome to skate on and a large and comfortable smoking shed.
