ABOUT BLACKMAN

With 14 years under her belt -- first as a junior derby athlete, then with Denver Roller Derby, and as Captain of Angel City Derby, Blackman's built a legacy defined by elite play, sharp skills, and next-level derby IQ.

As a member of USA Roller Derby and countless other teams exhibiting top-level gameplay, Blackman’s impact goes far beyond the track. Starting in junior derby and evolving into one of the sport’s most respected leaders, she’s never stopped putting in the work for her own growth and that of every league that’s lucky enough to have her.

Constantly training, constantly refining, and just as committed to others as she is to herself, Blackman has been coaching across JRDA, WFTDA, and MRDA since 2014, developing both junior and adult skaters and shaping the future of the sport.

BLACKMAN'S FAVORITE

Deep Cover, No Visor (S/M) - Scarlet. As someone who has experienced concussion, it is important to me that I feel supported, both physically and emotionally, by my helmet. My helmet is my security blanket, and you won’t catch me without it. The Deep Cover allows me to get a near exact fit that makes me feel confident to take some hard hits.
