a day or so in the life of Smacka Jawea $1.00

She's the pivot in this pic...getting ready to try and stop the Lone Star Assassin Eva Riot!

Smacka Jawea, aka Aimee, gets down and dirty with the Deadly Kennedy's. The DK's are our team with the biggest comeback from last season and the most feared return for this one. She has been skating with Ass City for a little over 1 year and likes to play pivot and jammer, she says," I think frontal blocking is one of my strongest assets. I'm getting better with every scrimmage at communicating on the track. I love jamming too but it is a challenge on my agility because I am not insanely fast and I need a little help through the pack. I need some fancy footwork. I just watch Goldie and she rocks my derby world!!!" (Goldie is also on the DK's and a story for another day...but she rocks lots of derby world's!!)

Smacka is also our Finance/Treasurer head and SHE rocks our derby world with her mad responsibility skills. Luckily she is an easy one to trust and had to come into the role after some real conspiracy in the league. She came into position after someone else had abused it, and nursed us back to health.... with a little help from Young Gunz (DK's) and others.(I've been reading and LOVING the new derby gal magazine, and it helps to know that we are not the only ones to be hit!)

Smacka works her Uptown Dallas dayjob often into the night and loves the networking it has given her for roller derby, although she says it is a thankless job. (prob good training for us derby girls-ha) She is also going to UTA for graphic design and a more challenging future. She wanted to be involved in law when she grew up so that she would feel like she was truly helping people and still says "anything is possible".

To relax she likes yoga, long hot showers, curling up in a ball to watch crap TV and tequila shots. She gots 2 dog shelties:jack and abigail.

For derby: "I love the skating, the work out, the feel of a clean hard block that sends some chick into the stands, breaking free of the pack and landing in the crowd!!! I'm a classic underachiever, so I could probably be way more of a badass if I focused a little more and pushed a little harder. In all seriousness I'm trying to have fun and that's hard in all this seriousness.......but get ready for the SMACKdown in 2007!!"

Her most embarrassing moment in derby is when her team was getting massacred and she ended the jam "crawling off the track defeated, bruised and ready to vomit." HA! "I wasn't embarrassed until I saw the video later. Learned alot from that bout!"


Most memorable derby injury: "no major injuries thankfully. I did kill my hip during our first bout last season, which totally threw out my lower back for months!!! That sucked, but nothing glamorous. Just lots of bruises. The coolest bruise I ever got though was from Ophelia Pain. I landed on my wheel so I had this totally bad ass witch doctor shaped bruise on my thigh. Wish I had a picture of that."

Favorite food and drink: queso and beer, margarita's, cheeseburgers from Lee Harvey's, cherry coke and pancakes. She's said she's all about nutrition.

Fave derby team is the Texecutioner's.
Fave derby girls: Lucille Brawl because she's too smooth and Dinah Mite because she is absolutely amazing.

She ends saying, " Last season the entire team of Lone Star Assassin's were the Deadly Kennedy's arch rivals, and I consider all of them my derby nemeses.....this season it's personal, MIA HAMMER!!! I'm coming after you. I'll be stalking you stealthy through the pack, and when you least expect it BAM!! SMACK ATTACK!!!"

yeah whatever
