Spins and Needles - 146
ORDL member since?
March 2014!
Position:
Semi-Professional Freshmeat, aspiring blocker and NSO. I also help out a bit around ORDL as the freshie liaison and co-chair.
What's the meaning behind your name/number?
I like knitting, and thought Needles would be a badass nickname. I was right. Its also ironic because I can neither spin very well, nor am I sharp and pointy in any way.
146 is a reference to my weight when I started derby, which should probably intimidate you if you're skating against me :)
What's your biggest accomplishment?
Next year, this is going to say passing minimum skills. Currently though, it's a tie between NSOing an entire Sur5al tournament, and that time I skated 9.5km at once and didnt die.
What's your biggest challenge?
Persevering through my dire state of fitness and uncoordination
Why ORDL?
I can't think of a more inclusive, friendly, supportive bunch of humans to bash the shit out of. ORDL is family.
Do you have any words of wisdom for us?

What's your favourite dinosaur?
Tuatara. #nzrepresent
What's your signature dance move?
Looking petrified at the concept of socializing.
Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses? Or 1 horse size duck?
100 duck-orses. You could cage that shit and charge people to see it. A horse sized duck just isn't pretty.
