Booty Quake (#8) has been playing roller derby with the Terminal City Rollergirls (WFTDA) since 2007. She has led and coached at all levels over the years: as League President, captain of the All-Star Team, Head Coach of Fresh Meat, and Head of Training. (Not all at the same time – that would be nuts!).

Effective off-skate training and an extensive sports background (NCAA Division 1 Rowing, among others) have had a major impact on Booty’s own success in derby, and she has helped thousands of athletes around the world on that journey too. Booty, aka Carla Smith, loves using her knowledge to help other skaters grow. Roller Derby Athletics is her vehicle to bring this knowledge and skill to the wider derby community.

Booty lives in Vancouver, BC and when she’s not skating she loves to be in the mountains or on the water. As she says in her training videos, she’s here to “kick your ass, so you can go kick someone else’s.”
