For the non-roller derbiers out there, Wicked Skatewear is one of the top derby suppliers in the world. Roller Derby is most dominant in the USA, and “Wicked” as most skaters affectionately refer to “Wicked Skatewear”, along with Five Stride Skate Shop and Bruised Boutique, are pretty much the staple vendors for all things derby.

Now, why am I talking about “Wicked Skatewear” and “Wicked Athletica“? Are they related? Unrelated? Help? (Have I confused you yet?)

WELL!

Last week I was diligently prowling the internet and I noticed that Wicked Skatewear announced their new offshoot, Wicked Athletica, a brand of athletic wear geared towards Crossfit athletes!

Pause.

Derby skaters. Who Crossfit. HELLO!!

I basically had the ultimate fangirl freakout on Facebook, and ended up emailing the owner of Wicked (the entire brand) about my dorkiness, to avoid further (public) internet humiliation. Luckily, she shared my enthusiasm and we geeked out together about derbyxcrossfit, and she ended up offering to send me a Wicked Athletica care package!!!111ONE11!!1!!!

Well, my care package arrived today and I thought you all might enjoy experiencing it with me, since I have to go to crossfit tonight… haha. Here goes!

THE GOODIES:

Needless to say, I’ll be swapping out the shirt I was *going* to wear to Crossfit tonight, and I’ll be going as such:

(Don’t ask how I somehow knew that I needed to wear the neon green tights today, it must have been fate!)

Thank you SO much B-Train and Wicked Athletica! I can’t wait to see what you all come out with next.
