Vixen Spotlight - Chop Suzzy - 2008 Season VV Co-captain

So swift and agile, you'll never see her coming. Although she may appear coy, don't let her sweet smile fool you: this disciplined black belt is an unpredictable fighter, with the deft ability to kick your ass and fly by faster than a tornado kick.

What's your earliest skating-related memory?
That would have to be the bruised tailbone I got from walking my dog on skates when I was younger. You couldn't get those things off of me. I used to try to jump rope in them, too.

Do you have any nicknames?
Chop, and some people call me Rachel.

Favorite song to skate to?
Chic - Le Freak

First/worst derby injury?
Gotta be the bruised tailbone at Willy Street Fair when I was a rookie. I couldn't sit right for weeks.

What is your motto?
Go big, or go home.

Lacerations or contusions?
I prefer contusions. The less blood on the track the better.

When's the last time you washed your gear?
Um, I, um, will soon.

Thighhighs or kneesocks?
Depends on the shoes.

What color underwear are you wearing?
If I was wearing any it would be pink.

What is one of your pet peeves?
When people leave their blinker on. How do they not notice? Really?
