Calling all RollerJam fans!!! Get ready to join what's guaranteed to be a head spinning hour chatting with Stacey Blitsch of California Quake's Bod Squad and Denise "Barracuda" Loden of the Illinois Riot.

America'sPride
Denise & Stacey what do you both have against each other? I like You both & am just wondering.

Denise
In the beginning I respected Stacey as an athlete because she is a great athlete, but she's let the 'Malibu Stacey' image take over her life. I resent the fact that she wasn't interested in Sean Atkinson until he and I started dating.

Stacey
I see Denise Loden as a challenge. Strong women like us that compete against other strong women makes us individually better.

Yvette
Denise: How do you feel about Lindsey Francis saying that you don't make a good role model for young people and athletes?

Denise
I don't really listen too much to what Lindsay Francis has to say. I skated with her on my team. I know how insincere and shallow she is. Anyway what she has to say to me doesn't even scratch the surface of my skin.

Stacey
I don't see Lindsey as a challenge.

sammc
I like your style. Do you think Sean Atkinson will make it out of the psychiatric ward in time for the All-Star Challenge?

Denise
Since I dated Sean I know he's a strong man physically and mentally, and I have faith that he'll make it.

Stacey
As a team mate I believe that he'll pull out of it and we'll be united as a team again.

takila
Stacey: How do you feel about not being picked for Atkinson's (your bf?) all-star team?

Stacey
It doesn't bother me cause I'm going to go out there and prove that I can be successful with any team.

pdunning
Hey Stacey, whats it like going up against Denise in fights. Do you ever sometimes not want to fight her?

Stacey
I never not want to fight anybody.

Denise
I'm not afraid of any woman in the WSL and I always come out on top of my fights.

emilyt13
hi, where did you guys get your outfits? do you have new ones for season 3?

Denise
We're going to stay with pretty much the same thing. We do have our outfits specially designed. They'll still be sexy, but they're going to be new uniforms.

Stacey
Get ready for the Team Bod Squad!

dwagner
Hi Denise, I was wondering what kind of training do you do to keep in condition for RollerJam? Donna

Denise
I do cardio bike everyday for 45 min. I lift weights for an hour and a half five times a week. Then we have our rigorous team practices with the Riot.

Nemesis
Stacey, I love u and the Quakes. How did you come up with and how long did it take to perfect your cart-wheel and back hand-spring moves? Love, Mike a.k.a. Nemesis

Stacey
That handspring took me a couple of days and now I just work on perfecting it. The cartwheel, I guess I worked on it a couple of days and I'm still working everyday to perfect it.

Denise: We are from Des Moines, Iowa and are big fans!!! We host jam parties to watch you skate! When will you get the roller derby queen crown?

Denise
I don't need the Roller Derby Queen crown. I enjoy being the Queen of Pain. If I really want it, the next time Stacey wears it I'll yank it off her head!

Stacey
A person from Des Moines, IA, being a fan of Denise Loden? How about your home state girl?

DeFrag
How hard is it for Rollerjammers to be friends off the track, considering how much rivalry and animosity there is during matches?

Denise
It's not hard with certain people. It's just like with any sport, on the track you're fierce compititors 'cause you all want to win. Off the track, it's not that difficult at times to put your differences aside,especially if it's to do charity work or go to schools.

Stacey
I would agree with Denise on that.

RiotFan
Queen Denise, how do you feel about Amy Craig coming over from theQuakes and being with old teammate Gina Lombardo again??

Denise
I feel great about both of the above. I feel great about Amy because she was underappreciated on the Quakes. Now that I have shown her a few Riot tricks, she's a lethal weapon. Gina L. always had that fire. Now that she's on the Riot, she's able to let it show. It's great to have both of them together.

Sugar00
How will losing Amy Craig effect your team Stacey?

Stacey
I don't believe it will hurt us at all, and we have Jenny Matthews and Jaime Conemac training harder than ever and the rest of the Bod Squad training harder than ever.

Denise
That's the bad thing about it...Stacey didn't even know what she had.

RiotFan
Queen Denise, how is Debbie Rice doing??

Denise
Debbie Rice is doing o.k. She may have to have back surgery. Unfortunately, she won't be able to come back to Rollerjam and I miss her dearly.

kennyroyal
Stacey, you are great on the Quakes and as the leader for the Bod Squad, my question is was Gina Lombardo an original Bod Squad member?

Stacey
Oh, yes she was but she never played on any games. Before we started taping, she was switched.

mrX
Denise: Have you ever thought of being a wrestler?

Denise
No, I've never thought of being a wrestler. Being on RollerJam takes up most of my time and plus I like throwing chicks around at high speed, not just standing still.

show
Stacey, what is the status of the Quakes female team for season 3, any changes in general or with the Bod Squad?

Stacey
Yes. All the people on the roster on the web site is the new roster and the whole team of women is the Bod Squad.

jen-n-heather
Denise, What was with that kiss to Mark Weber on the cheek for good luck about? Are you going out with him or somethin? You should!!! You and him would make the best couple..the best girl of RJ and the best guy!!! You rock!!! Jenny & Heather

Denise
No, Mark Weber and I aren't going out. That was to get Sean Atkinson back for kissing Stacey, before the Rollerjam Queen. After being with Sean I'm just used to more man.

hoho
What do u think about Denise sending you into those fire things? Stacey I thought it was a very disgusting move from a disgusting girl. Paybacks are a Blitsch. Like I said at the game, it was a cheap shot for a cheap girl.

Denise
What is she talking about "cheap?" I've got more class than a grade school.

Stacey
She's got so many issues she could start her own magazine.

renaelamp
How do I get to try out for RollerJam? As I am meaner than both of you.

Denise
If you think you're so tough, you need to make of video of yourself and your big, tough moves and send it to the WSL. They'll look at it and give you a call.

Check out the specs on RollerJam's new improved schedule, NOW coming to you two nights a week -- Tuesday AND Friday at 9pm et/pt.

divine99
this is a question for stacey... why do you always cheat?? why can't you play fair??

Stacey
I don't cheat! I may bend the rules a little bit, but I don't cheat!

Riotrules
Other than each other, who do you consider to be the greatest challenges on the track?

Denise
I would say that all of the girls on the WSL are formidable opponents, to each other...to me.

Stacey
The men!

SunQuakefan
Have either of you ever been seriously injured while skating for RollerJam?

Denise
At the very beginning of the RollerJam season I had a torn MCL, but nothing to keep me from skating.

Stacey
Bumps and bruises, that's about it.

Denise
I punched you in the face!

Stacey
That didn't hurt!

compadre
Do you prefer playing at the Rollerjam Arena or was it nice to be on the road??

Stacey
We would rather be on the road entertaining audiences in different crowds.

Denise
Although I'm sort of a homebody, I did enjoy the large crowd that we drew in Vegas.

kennyroyal
Hi Denise, i love the way you carry yourself on the track, how do you compare yourself with the great late Joannie Weston?

Denise
I've been asked that before and I don't really feel that I, or any female skater, holds a candle to what Joan Weston accomplished. The only thing I can say is, as she was, I feel like I'm a tough female skater who can more than hold her own.

jgarosi
Stacey: How long do you plan to keep doing RollerJam? Keep up the skating and the attitude: you're arguably the most entertaining player in the league!

Stacey
Thank you for the compliment. I plan on doing it for as long as Rollerjam continues. I have fun out there and enjoy competition.

Denise
I keep telling her she should join the circus with all those flips she's doing out there!

Siya
Denise: How does it feel doing the "back attack" or the "skyscraper" on your opponents?

Denise
I keep telling her she should join the circus with all those flips she's doing out there!

Denise
It feels great to see them wrenching in pain. It feels best when I do it to Stacey because I know she knows that Sean showed me how to do it.

Stacey
What's so tough about that move? Anybody can do it and you had to have someone teach you?

Sugar00
I think the quakes rule especially you and eric. Have you got any new moves your going to show in season 3?

Stacey
I'm coming up with a few. Yes, I'm using my talents again. You'll see me more on my hands than on my skates.

Denise
I heard she has one called the "track muncher." I ram her face into the track and make her eat it!

Sugar00
Denise do you think you could ever be a Sundog again if they changed their way to your way?

Denise
Anything is possible, but there's a few people I'd want to take with me. To tell you the truth, they'd have to do a lot of changing.

kennyroyal
Denise and Stacey, the two of you are my inspiration. I used to weigh 350 pounds, down to 280 and still losing weight. I'm taking rollerblading lessons and doing well. Do you have any advice for me if I want to be on Rollerjam?

Stacey
You can do anything you put your mind to.

Denise
Anything is possible.

sue martin
Stacey, Denise-when you were growing up as a girl, what was your dream?

Stacey
My dreams were involved in sports. My idol was MaryLou Retton. My ultimate dream was the Olympics.

Denise
Well, that dream's shot! My dream was a little simpler. I was involved in sports all my life and my inspiration in life was my mother and I just hoped that I could grow up to be as strong a woman as she is.

deniserulz
denise why don't u ever skate with the boys anymore

Denise
Because when I left the sucky Sundogs I had a real man's team behind me. There was no need to fill in. My men can handle the job...unlike the SunDogs.

guest1123
Stacey - I heard Jenny Matthews has mono and is out for a while. How will THAT affect your team? Do you have someone coming in to replace her?

Stacey
Yes, she has mono. We'll see what happens.

guest1123
Are you guys friends off the track and enemies on the track, or enemies both on and off the track?

Denise
I think when we skate against each other, we have a mutual respect for one another off the track, but on the track it's no-holds barred. After all, we are adults (most of the time).

test
Stacey: Whats up with the star under your eye, what does it stand for?

Stacey
I wore that star since the first game after my mom wrote me a letter telling me that no matter what I do or where I go I will always be her little star. There's stars always looking down on us.

Denise
I thought it was symbolic of the stars she sees when I hit her!

mikeq
Denise: Out of all the moves you have in your repetoire, what is your favorite move to do on the track and why?

Denise
My favorite move would be the "stop-double tomahawk" 'cause I think it's the most painful for my opponents.

country.com
Keep sending your questions... We only have 10 minutes left...Denise Loden and Stacey Blitsch love talking with RollerJam fans.

esf
Stacey, a lot of other skaters have been shuffled around lately. If you had to be shuffled to another team and you had your choice which team would it be?

Stacey
None of the above. I'd make my own team!

Uk_ire
Denise, I'm sorry to say, but the "King" gets the Riot booed--do you ever tell him to keep his mouth shut, or do you just go about your business?

Denise
I usually just go about my business, but to be quite honest my policy is 'love me-hate me, but just look at me.'

takila
Stacy: Being a female rollerjam fan, I am glad to see Pasi as a member of the 'bod squad'...got any other hotties lined up?

Stacey
I wish, but not at the moment.

WSLgirl27
stacey,what do you and the bod squad do on spare time? or do you hang out with them at all much? from ashley

Stacey
Here and there. Together we're all in the same group, but different people hang out and do different things. We're all friends.

BlitschIsTheBest
Stacey and Denise: What do you think about Mark D'Amato losing to Kenneth Loge?

Denise
I think Mark D'Amato is just a loser in general.

Stacey
Stacey--I could care less what those testosterone freaks are doing!

QuakesFan99
Denise and Stacey-- What is the wildest thing you would do for a billion dollars (American)

Denise
Kiss Mark D'Amato!

Stacey
Do lunch with Denise!

Denise
We appreciate everyone taking time out of their evening to chat with us.

Stacey
Thank you for everything. We will remain entertaining and performing every Tues. and Fri. night. Keep the e-mails coming because we both love them!
