Bio: Obscene Jessture was born and raised in Albany, NY in the late 1970's.  She discovered her love for roller derby at the local roller rink in 2008 when she was caught pushing people out of her way during open skate. OJ loves 80’s music and was annoyed that lame stupid people were getting in the way of her jamming out to some Bananarama!  It was a cruel, cruel summer indeed.  Forced to get off the rink for being a jerk, OJ went to the snack bar for a Slushee.  She was approached by a tuff looking group of girls who admired her ability to run down large groups of people.  The girls, who were members of the Albany All Stars Roller Derby league suggested that OJ come to an upcoming recruitment night.  OJ went and was hooked on derby from that point on.

OJ is named for her habit of flipping off players after rocking their world in a jam.  OJ takes crap from no-one and should be approached cautiously.  While she usually uses her middle finger to tell people to shove it, she likes to yell and throw things when she is annoyed.  it is best to never turn your back to OJ.  Back away with your hands up, then RUN!
