Friend Encounters: Beat-Her Juice and Tony Feddeler

Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends who have met celebrities.

Beat-Her Juice is one of the skaters of the Chicago Knockouts, a roller derby league based in the Chicago area. Her ability and enthusiasm quickly made her one of our favorites.

Tommy Else and I interviewed her on The Johngy "OR ELSE" Podcast - Ep. 61: Beat-Her Juice. The interview showed a new and fascinating side to Juice. She explained how she changing her name from Pamdemic (for obvious reasons) and moving back from Seattle. She also talked about using her science background on the track. She explained how science relates to speed and how she figures it all. It really was interesting hearing her talk about that aspect of her game.

Juice is one of the most enthusiastic skaters out there. She plays to the crowd, without missing a beat on the track. My buddy Tony and I love watching her in action. The Knockouts play at the Homewood-Flossmore Auditorium, which is too small for a regulation track. We would love to see what Juice could do on such a track. Her speed would really come into play on the straightaways.

The Knockouts return to action Saturday, May 13. For more info, check out the Chicago Knockouts on Facebook.

The Johngy "OR ELSE" Podcast - Ep. 60: Beat-Her Juice

On the latest episode of The Johngy "OR ELSE" Podcast, Tommy Else and I interviewed Beat-Her juice, of the Chicago Knockouts Roller Derby League. That interview can be found at The Johngy "OR ELSE" Podcast - Ep: 61 Beat-Her Juice.

Juice changed her name and gimmick for this season. Previously, Pamdemic, she felt she needed to change it this season and Beat--Her Juice has proven to be super popular with the fans. Of course, that si because she puts her spirit (no pun intended) into the character. Juice is one of the most interactive skaters. She is awesome on the track and very animated.

Juice talks about all of this in our interview. She also discussed how her science background comes into play on the track.

This was another great look into the women behind Chicago Knockouts Roller Derby. CKO is such a fun event. I think it will be even better when league founder Crimson Vixen, who we previously interviewed, finds a bigger home and implements the full track.
