We are pleased to announce the LRDG’s skater of the month, #80 MoDown! Mo was nominated by her league mates for her dedication to committee work and making sure our practice spaces are maintained and ready to go.

Don’t be fooled!  She may seem harmless, but with only a spin of the track she turns into a sinister mowing machine. Move out of her path because she will mulch you up and spit you out.
