Makes you wanna be a ref, doesn’t it?
This Ref Helmet Cam video comes to us courtesy of the Mad Rollin’ Dolls out of Madison, WI from their WFTDA Eastern Regionals game vs. the Charm City Roller Girls of Baltimore, MA. Definitely the best way to watch derby. My favorite part is when the ref’s calling penalties and waving his arms around.
Hurt Reynolds says: “There’s quite a bit you didn’t get to see in the live stream, and the Referee Helmet Cam was one of those aspects. If you’ve seen helmet cam footage shot by competing skaters, you’ve probably noticed that it can be hard to follow because any alert skater keeps her head on a swivel at all times. Refs, though, are watching the bigger picture, and the change of aspect yields a much better result. Interesting to think what a dedicated camera-skater might accomplish this way.”
