One of My Favorites

Hey guys, check out one of my favorite videos hosted on the new JamskatingOnline.com.

This video is from last October when Tony, Brandon, and I hit up Sparkles before the SouthEastern Georgia tradeshow.  This session gave me so much energy – and it still does!  There were so many skaters and so much love for Vanilla!

New Pick- Up!

Yo everyone, BLer here, coming at at you all with a new shoe pick- up! These shoes are the Nike SB Janoski “Tiffany” edition. These just released and I got them in LA today with Tony. Tony just ordered himself a pair from a skateshop here in LA. These aren’t really my style but i really liked these and they were SBs, so I just couldn’t resist em! Well, that’s all for now, so remember VANILLA STYLE!!

P.S. Keep on the look out for my shoes that Tony customized for me; I’ll post them as soon as they’re done!

TEAM BLACKBERRY

Out with the old, and in with the NEW!

As MANY of you know… Lehrke and I are on Team Blackberry! For the past 6 months, I was on this old BB that kept dropping calls and never got service. It also was dropped about 50 times, and had scratches all over it. I am ALWAYS on my phone for Vanilla, so it was importnant that I got a phone that didnt drop so many calls….

Thanks to Vanilla Skate Co. I have a brand spankin new BlackBerry Bold! Also with this phone, I got a case, ear piece, car charger, and another leather case. (rebate not included)

I can not tell you all how much it meant for me to get a new phone. I am moving up in the BlackBerry world.

Remember kids… whenever you see Diamond, Tony, or Brandon… tell them Stephanie said TEAM BLACKBERRY!

Viva Las Vegas

From one side of the country to the other, Vanilla is taking over! Jeremy and I just got back from Vegas yesterday, and I must say it was absolutely crazy! Vanilla Derby was in Vegas for Roller Con. Which is basically a roller debry convention that consists of thousands of derby men and women around the world that come and meet for a week of fun, classes, and challange bouts. Of couse, Vanilla Derby had a booth there. This was our first time at Roller Con,  so we didnt know what to expect. Let me tell you, the outcome was amazing. With in the past year, we have grown such a strong following. Jeremy and I got to meet some awesome people and introduce them to Vanilla.

The week went by very fast. From skating on Fremont Street to jamskating at the night club… Jeremy and I made Vanilla known! We finally ended our stay with a nice massage compliments of Vanilla. We put in some hard work the past few days, so Vanilla Skates hooked us up with some amazing massages at the MGM. Jeremy and I felt like noodles after it. I cant explain how much it helped… (for those of you who know me… I am stress bucket!)

Below are some pictures that were taken with in the course of our stay. The First one is the night club, where Jeremy and I battled everyone with our super amazing jamskating skills. The second one is just one of the classes that were being held. (There were about 10 classes a day, with 75 girls in each class) Third and fourth is our booth. Notice the BRAND SPANKIN NEW V2′s… These boots are flippin amazing! Made with top grain leather, and the price stays the same! WOOT WOOT! Get yours now, because from what I can see… they are going fast!

and finally, the last two pictures are of me in Antia’s Tu Tu acting stupid and me getting stopped and searched at the airport.  ”I swear to god I didnt do it!”

This trip was amazing… but im sooo glad to be home!

Yep, I’m Late

Footage from the Oklahoma City show in August of 2009. We’ve been back since and I haven’t edited that footage, either.

I like this video because we get to see 14-year-old Brandon, who is much, much different than 15-year-old Brandon. Crazy.

Oh! And we get to see Hunter before he got better! Good stuff!

Tampa Day 3

Epic new video by Vanilla’s very own, Tony Zane:

Derby Does Vegas

Here are a few pictures of me playing on Fremont street,

It was pretty wild we were playing right between the casinos.

And a above view of the pool from our hotel room we spent a good amount of time in there.

More pics and vid to come soon.

The Streak

Hello all ,

Streak here, well for the past 5 days Stephanie and I have been in las Vegas
for the years largest roller derby event Roller-Con this event is a mixture of
on and off skate classes and seminars to help better develop your roller derby league and
your members skating ability, it also offers a mass amount of challenge bouts
and nightly open scrimmages .

Although I got to play in 5 bouts total while I was there the most exciting was,
I got to play in one of the most anticipated bouts of the event which was Team
sexy (male all-star team) vs Team Awesome (womens all-star team)all in all it
was a great bout with several lead changes throughout,Team Sexy kept it within
10 points for the tail end of the second half but in the end Team Sexy found its
way into to much penalty trouble and the girls were victorious.

Stephanie and I also participated in a challenge bout between NAACP vs Blondes,
This bout was exceptionally difficult due to the fact that it was played
in the middle of Fremont street which meant we had to overcome a very slick and
uneven surface. With our combined jamming and blocking skills we were able to pull off
a comfortable victory.

All in all it was a very successful outing for Vanilla Derby, Stephanie and I
had a full stock of skates for girls to try on and roll around in from which we
got nothing but compliments on the comfort and design of our boots.We both got
more then enough track time and exposure for Vanilla that by the end of the week
everyone knew who we were and what we were about .

Vanilla Derby is GROWING!

whats up everybody?
just wanted to post and let everyone know that with the release of the Backspin Revenge and the new V2 Brass Knuckle derby boot Meow Mix, Miley, 12 Guage, and I are all excited to have added another member to our growing team at Vanilla Derby. Most of you all will know this guy from jamskating, but we just picked up another powerhouse in men’s derby and have already sent him on his first trip, out to Rollercon this week with Steph…… please welcome to the Vanilla Derby family, Jeremy “Streak” Strecker from Florida and the Magic City Misfits mens roller derby team. Jeremy is already skating on our Brass Knuckle V2 and has been skating on many different sets of our Backspin wheels and he has already been shutting people down this week out at Rollercon and as always he is doing some crazy stuff with the product. Look for me or Streak at any men’s bouts along with upcoming WFTDA events along side the ladies of Vanilla Derby.
