Grenade O’Connor

Here comes the BOOM!

Grenade O’Connor #41

Birth place: A Puddle of Diesel Fuel

Derby DOB: April ’10
Skate / Wheel / Socks: Riedell R3s / Poisons / Mis-matched
Practice Regimen: I’m ready for anything … derby practice has nothing on some Catholic guilt
Signature Move: “The Deal Break-Her”
Derby Wife: Alice Skullen has glamored my restless heart.
Favorite Moments: Skating in CGRG’s first (EVER!) home bout and getting MVP for my team, the Broadway Brawlers.
Why Derby? I love adrenaline : riding roller coasters and motorcycles, snowboarding, disregarding the 5-second rule … So when I heard about CGRG forming I couldn’t pass up the chance. It’s been an amazing experience ever since.
Why this name and number? I have a few “self-destructive tendencies” that can get me into trouble and I was born at 11:11pm (4 one’s)

Non-derby Hobbies: Increasing my pain tolerance and using zebra cakes as currency.
Bad Habits: Using unnecessary amounts of explosives to open doors … and texting while driving.
Drink of choice: Hot Cider
Favorite Quotes: “I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut
“Live like you could die tomorrow, eventually you’ll be right.” ~ Unknown
