Dr Wheelgood - 404 (Referee/Skater)
ORDL member since?
2014
Position
Referee + Skater
What's the meaning behind your name/number?
Well nobody was using Raggedy Jam so it got changed, it's one of those "hard to shorten name" things. Dr Feelgood is one of my favourite RnB and UK Pub scene bands. As a Dr Who fan it's also an excuse to be called "Doctor" and I have an ever growing collection of wheels...
I'm also a tech guy and 404 is the page not found error for websites. If I'm wearing an 8, it's for the 8 bit computers I have fond memories of.
What's your biggest accomplishment?
So far, jumping over a person
What's your biggest challenge?
Aside from learning to skate generally, transitions on my gammy side are challenging, and getting my feet to do 'smarty feet'. They just don't seem to want to coordinate that way!
Why ORDL?
I was introduced to ORDL by Ice-Tia as they needed more refs. I hadn't skated since I was very young, and was very slow and uncoordinated even then. To start with the fastest I got around the track was being towed by Da Roll. But sticking with it and with great help (and patience!) from ORDL coaches has helped me improve immensely! They are fantastic!
What's your favourite dinosaur?
Brontosaurus, because it doesn't really exist...
What's your signature dance move?
I play music so I don't have to dance. Probably the monkey
Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses, or 1 horse size duck?
If I had to fight it , probably the horse sized duck, as lethal as it would be. Duck sized horses would be too cute to fight.
