Winner of the [Most Valuable Player](/source/Most_Valuable_Player) award at the 2017 [WFTDA Championships](/source/WFTDA_Championships), she is also the founder of the Chicks in Bowls (now Community in Bowls, CIB for short)[1] organisation. Born as Samara Pepperell in [Auckland](/source/Auckland) in New Zealand, Lady Trample worked as a [graphic designer](/source/Graphic_designer) with a fibre company. She began roller skating with a friend in 2011, and the experience of learning led her to form Chicks in Bowls, initially a small group of friends who attended skate parks. The brand grew rapidly, and by 2014 there were more than 120 chapters on five continents.[2] In 2012, Trample joined the local [Pirate City Rollers](/source/Pirate_City_Rollers), and was soon rostered to play for the league. She chose the [derby name](/source/Derby_name) "Lady Trample" from her love of [Disney](/source/Disney) films, punning on *[The Lady and the Tramp](/source/The_Lady_and_the_Tramp)*. The league won the 2013 New Zealand Championship, at which she was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. At the [2014 Roller Derby World Cup](/source/2014_Roller_Derby_World_Cup), she played for [Team New Zealand](/source/Team_New_Zealand_(roller_derby)).[2] Trample transferred to the [Victorian Roller Derby League](/source/Victorian_Roller_Derby_League) (VRDL) in 2016, moving to [Melbourne](/source/Melbourne) in Australia. This represented a significant step up in level of play from Pirate City, and in 2017 the league won the [WFTDA Championships](/source/WFTDA_Championships), the first non-U.S. league to do so. Trample was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament.[3][4] Trample competed for the renamed [Aotearoa Roller Derby](/source/Aotearoa_Roller_Derby) at the [2018 Roller Derby World Cup](/source/2018_Roller_Derby_World_Cup), at which she won the Tournament Fan Favourite award.[5] During the 2018-2019 off-season, Trample moved to [Denver](/source/Denver), Colorado, and transferred to [Denver Roller Derby](/source/Denver_Roller_Derby).[6] On 29 September 2019, Trample married Denver Roller Derby teammate Hillary Buscovick, known as [Scald Eagle](/source/Scald_Eagle). A bout was held the previous day in which each bride-to-be fielded a team of all-stars, with the winning bride keeping her surname in the marriage.[7] The "BuscoVictors" defeated the "Red Hot Chilli Pepperells" 200-197, and so Lady Trample adopted Buscovick as her surname.[8] On 26 July 2021, Trample announced that she would be moving back home to Aotearoa (New Zealand) on 17 August 2021.[9] ## References 1.
