Pia's Bio:
Equally skilled as a jammer, pivot and blocker, Pia Mess has received multiple awards from all three leagues that she has skated for in her career. She is known throughout the derby community as one of the most strategically-minded players to ever strap on skates.

Pia is a member of the prestigious 2012 Atom Wheels All-Stars, and is sponsored by Atom Wheels. She is one of the few skaters to be named to both the 2011 and 2012 Atom Wheels All-Stars teams. Pia was also named the WFTDA Featured Skater of the Month for March 2011. The story of Pia Mess was featured on the original Canadian Broadcast Television Series, "TV Made Me Do It". Pia also appeared in the acclaimed documentary feature film, "Blood On The Flat Track: The Rise Of The Rat City Rollergirls".

Smarty's Bio:
Nadia Kean, known to many as Smarty Pants, started skating bank track in Austin, Texas with
the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls in 2003. In 2011 Kean started skating flat track with the Texas Rollergirls.

Kean has gained the respect of the international derby community through her longevity as a competitor and her professionalism as a coach. Kean currently skates for the Texas Rollergirls' Texecutioners and Team USA. She is NASM Certified and her knowledge covers both flat and bank track roller derby.

Teflon's Bio:
Teflon Donna began skating with the Carolina Rollergirls in 2004, except for the fact that she could barely skate! After only a few short months of persistent training and determination, she joined CRG in its first expo bout and continued improving and excelling within CRG until 2007.

Teflon moved to Philadelphia and joined the Philly Roller Girls. Skating and captaining (on and off) as a Heavy Metal Hooker and a Philly Liberty Belle for the past 6 seasons, she has become one of the most well-known athletes in the derby community. Teflon's passion for learning every aspect of skating and the sport of derby itself is contagious, and she loves helping other derby athletes achieve their highest potential.  She is also a member of Team USA.
