Anita Riot

Pronouns: She/Her | Position: Blocker, Pivot, Jammer | Skating since: 2005 | Country: USA

I grew up skating the streets and roller rinks around town for fun, and I’ve been hooked on roller derby since my first practice 14 years ago. I enjoy rolling around and jumping over things at skate parks when I have the time, too.

Roller skating is good for the soul, and team love is magic. I love how this sport has grown globally–how it connects so many people all over the world. Every day I am inspired by the people in the derby community and the skaters I have the privilege of sharing the track with. Teaching others and working at the skate shop I co-own with my friends (Resurrection Skates) gives me the opportunity to spread the love of the game.

Other things I love: drawing, writing, animals, pizza, and high fives!
