Biggest Surprise in Derby: Accomplishing so much as the youngest player on the team back in 2007.
Inspiration behind your derby name: Growing up in the classic car and Harley scene, I was inspired by a motorcycle mechanic who was known as Von Dutch. He was a great motivator who showed me that if there's no struggle in life to achieveing your goals, then you'll never appriciate the rewards in life. So, taking the Von from his name and throwing it next to DROPyA, which is what I'm known for on the rink, droppin girls left and right, seemed like the derby thing to do. This is how DEzi VoN DRopYA came to be. Now my number, V8, has to do with the engine sitting in my 1970 Chevelle, and no not the juice, silly.

Derby Theme Song: "Little Miss V8 Nightmare" by the Koffin Kats
Derby Injuries: broken tailbone, whiplash, dislocated elbow, three concussions
Biggest Fan: My husband. Not only does he love to watch some derby action, but he's there when I most need him during a game, like when I hit the floor, and I don't get up right away :)
