Let’s Talk About: New Technology Used At JRDA Champs

At JRDA Champs, the Los Anarchists beat the Santa Cruz Derby Groms in the final game. About a week later, Santa Cruz made this statement on Facebook, saying LA’s “…coaches were in constant communication with skaters throughout the game via a wireless communication system with earpieces wired to receivers velcroed in each of their helmet visors.”

Conversation ensued across the derbyverse.

LA made this statement on their Facebook with answers to common questions.

This brings up a lot of issues we as a community need to talk about. We had some great points brought up in the post on State of Skate, such as economic equality, skater development, and technology in the game.
