Interview with Circle City Roller Derby Star – Badison

What attracts you to the sport of Roller Derby?

I love copying what my mom does and doing it better than she ever could 🤣🙏🏻 (love you momma Cherry).

Why did you choose the name Badison?

Actually Badison chose me. Emily Kicknsome from Dire Skates was watching Orange is the New Black and said it was a perfect fit for me. Most skaters call me Baddy since my preferred name is Maddy.

Why Circle City Roller Derby?

As soon as I started derby, I knew Circle City would be my forever team. My mom played for our hometown team and then moved to Indianapolis and played for CCRD over multiple seasons. My first year visiting teams would rave about how great we were and I didn’t exactly identify with the team yet I’d be like “oh god I know”. Now I’m proud to own that compliment because I contribute to making CCRD a well rounded team.

Name one fun fact about yourself!

I used to be a competitive cheerleader and I can still throw a backhand spring back tuck.
