No, your eyes aren't deceiving you...that wide, bright smile you could recognize a mile away belongs to none other than, Drop Dead...Gorgeous. That's right, she's back in town and sharing the track with the rest of the Hard Knox Roller Girls! She's ready to kick off our home season here in Knoxville on Sat. June 3rd at the Knoxville Convention Center. Be sure to come out and say hello, but to tide you over in the meantime, read on to see what she's been doing with herself these last few years. Welcome back, DDG! 

I am terrified of making a fool of myself. That might come as a shock to some since I seem to do it so regularly, with reckless abandon in fact. When I first decided I was going to do derby, this fear was about 100% stronger than it is now.

For those of you who travelled to the Chatty bout in March, you saw a familiar face out on the track. That’s right, Lethal PathoJen has returned to the Hard Knox Roller Girls! We’re thrilled to have her back. She is a strong, smart skater who has a lot of skill and passion for roller derby. Lethal trains hard and skates even harder. If you're wondering what she does to stay fit or where she acquired all that awesome derby knowledge, then continue reading to find out more about this month's featured skater, Lethal PathoJen. 

How did I end up here?  It all began on a sunny, fall afternoon…. I moved to Knoxville May, 2016. I had no job, no friends, nothing much here. Then, sometime in October, I was bored and came across the Punk Rock Flea Market at Purple Heart Tattoo, and that is where I met Kitty Twister and Black Stabbath.  Stabby said, “Come join derby: it is great for stress.” Kitty said, “You get instant, pre-packaged friends.” They were both so very right! HKRG are the best friends anyone could ask for.
