Whilst Jeneral Pain was sitting at her CFA (Country Fire Authority) station today during the hot day, so she the crew she was part of could respond rapidly in case of a fire situation, she took some time to play with some of the 4th Annual Roller Derby Pride Cup - Gippsland highlight reel.

Here is a taster with Dawkins doing their line work like a baws!

One of our team is over at the WFTDA Global Championships in Portland,OR. Collaborating with the many volunteers who help produce derby. Ideas must be free flowing, collaboration must be high and the sweat must be so clear you can see even the beads of sweat regretting taking on the wall.

We're proud to be the selected broadcast provider for the Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby event 4th Annual Roller Derby Pride Cup - Gippsland. This showcases roller derby in its proper raw form. It is a sport that provides opportunities for gender non-conforming skaters of all ages to showcase their unique talents when they aren't treated like a political football for points scoring. In the sports case, the jammers in these teams ACTUALLY SCORE POINTS and do it with incredible skill. You don't need to be any body type, you don't need to be a specific gender, you need to be a person with heart, passion and soul, and most importantly, you aren't a jerk to play in roller derby.

The schedule as it stands:
✨️ SCHEDULE ✨️
9am - Junior Low contact
10am - Junior Modified contact
11am - Adult Modified contact
1pm - Formalities
2pm - Exhibition bout
4pm - Presentations

This event put on by Gippsland Ranges is proudly supported by the Victorian State Government, Pride Cup and many local sponsors who work hard to support GRDL. And we're proud to bring their event to the world.

Did you know that many of the techs and camera peeps behind SCA are gender diverse as well, and do it at a significantly reduced cost because we struggle to see funding for sports that don't have a "ball" of some kind.

And Jeneral, Exy and Bullseye are heading home after a successful event with The Great Southern Slam hosted by Adelaide Roller Derby.

Only 704km to go... that's like 27 in 5 right?

We're at The Great Southern Slam 2024 working closely with their broadcast partner .

Sadly today, a small and inexpensive people of equipment failed. when it failed it meant all the live stream feeds and scoreboards saw impact.

We apologise to all the derby fans watching live at home, we've replaced the faulty pieces of equipment, and now the streams are so clear you can see the beads of sweat.

Thanks everyone for your understanding.
