[@petergardner5951]

If only textbooks in school taught this well…

[@tjlanier4647]

I loved watching this, seeing the editing, the visuals, and the beautiful slides; it's awesome to watch someone talk about their passion. Something they absolutely love. Well done Em

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so much Bones!! Glad to share my passion with other peeps who appreciate + love derbs

[@pietmeon]

This is such a fun and helpful video for memorizing both the penalties and ref hand signals! Thank you for such great slides, I always love to see RD content :]]]

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so much for the compliments!!💖 Can’t wait to make more videos!

[@Jdiwoej]

Thank you so much for this video, I want to bring the sport to my country and I’m trying to learn as much as I can to make a proposal to my town hall to see if we are able to implement the sport for the first time here! Would it be okay for me to translate your slides in Spanish?

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

This is wonderful!! You may absolutely translate these slides in Spanish. I love to see roller derby expanding across the globe!!!

[@blackmaxima]

[@petergardner5951]

Pro tip from AbNORMal: if you aren’t using your 7 penalties, you aren’t playing hard enough lol

[@basosz]

Recently reffed a game where one of the players from my league got 6 penalties in the first half and during halftime all us refs were convinced that the player would get benched and if not, get fouled out in the second half. They made it to the end of that game with just those 6 to the amazement of basically everybody. Refs, players and audience. And it's not as if that player holds back!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Oh boy HAHA don't listen to AbNORMal LOL

[@rickierat510]

you are the best, thank you so much

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you for the support!!!

[@tallmtt]

Coming from a long term ref - this was very well done.

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Aww I really appreciate this comment! I had help from the wonderful refs of Atlanta Roller Derby for this video. Grateful for all you officials out there!!

[@lizzlemermaid47]

Are you going to do a new video with the most recent WFTDA changes?

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Perhaps in the future, yes! Thank you for the suggestion!!

[@kenbenedict8468]

ould I use parts of your video as fillers during live bouts?

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Hi there! Absolutely (: If you could credit the channel or give a shout-out that would be awesome but I’m all for it☺️

[@ChelseaRCMI]

thank you!!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you for the support❤

[@petergardner5951]

Such an important video and super well done! The best out there!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thanks Pete!!

[@MsIkari]

I've watched this 3 times already! I feel like I get it even better each time! I've only been to my first roller derby academy class and got plenty more to go. But I've already applied to what I've learned to watching games! Thank you!!!!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Excellent, I love to hear this!! Learning the rules is soooo helpful to upping your derby game!! Good luck on the rest of your journey and thank you for letting me be a part of it

[@laurenzhou9900]

omg primm!! this is so cute 😭❤️❤️ and looks like it took forever to make 🙈 this is such a great resource!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so much Sweetie!!

[@JanayeKaylejeter]

Here is a fact. To even be able to roller skate in the first place, you have to have physical strength.

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

This is true!

[@timetomakethevideos]

Great video and loved the gifs. Only add is that skating nonderby and destroying the pack is always a penalty but skating derby direction and destroying the pack, you need to skate faster than the established speed of the pack. So if the pack is going 5 mph and you skate 10 mph and destroy the pack, it's a penalty. If you're skating 5 mph and destroy the pack, no penalty

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you for the support and thank you for this clarification! Ah, there are so many little stipulations to keep track of (;

[@TeamHitSquad]

Well done!!!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thanks HitSquad!!

[@Ashywashy82]

I really didn't get much of that but from what I understand is you can only hit people in certain spots and can't do stuff outside of the zone and out of bounds

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Yes basically! You've got it down - I hope your derby journey has been going smoothly!

[@juliaoddsdottir98]

This is fantastic content. Thank you for making it!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you for watching!!

[@sofiasofia5799]

you're making videos again!! this put a smile on my face

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Yes!! I get super busy with college sometimes, but I'm still making vids!!!

[@TheMadamfabulous]

gifs were fun

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked them!!

[@steve8454]

[@wiesejay]

Lol, the background music: What you gonna do when you get out of jail? I'm gonna have some fun What do you consider fun? Fun, natural fun…

[@jeanne85060]

This is amazing, thanks for all the work you put into this!

[@aggiebattery8354]

Agreed! Very well done, Primm!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so much, I hope it's helpful for years to come!!!

[@grifspop]

Our first trip to ARD was back in February 2017- we had no idea what the rules were, but Human Missile Crisis helped explain what we were watching. Over the years, we've figured out what happening (Brawn F Kennedy helped too), but yours is the most comprehensive and easy to understand explanation of penalties and rules that I've ever seen. Thanks!! Good luck on your Roller Derby journey

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Omg I LOVE Crisis and Brawn! The BEST humans (: Thank you!!!!❤

[@SensationallySilky]

The Spongebobs and the Patricks... lol that's the cutest! Derby luv to ya!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Derby love back to you! Glad you liked the Spongebobs and Patricks HAHA

[@blackmaxima]

*laughts in two whistle jam starts, minor penalties and poodling* But seriously, i just rewatched this and it’s so well explained and put together. Every few months, I share this on our juniors page for the parents and newer kids. Last night we had some newer skaters struggling with the rules and I pointed them to this.

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Yesss I love it!! Thank you so much for sharing this with them (: I'm worried we'll have some big changes where this video will become outdated but we'll get there when we get there LOLL

[@ll564]

This is such a helpful video!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you found it helpful!!

[@BHGiant3]

Awesome!!! Thank you for this great review. Now to put this on repeat so hopefully the rules stick 😅

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you for the support!!! Get those rules down quick (;

[@arisatele9139]

Wait, what's the difference for ref hand signals for the penalties of Arms vs. use of forearms and hands? The ref has a fist for arms and an open hand for forearms & hands. Is one for blockers and one for jammers? Thanks

[@tumalo]

There is no “arms” penalty.

[@tracylang6060]

Thanks for the education. I love your videos😂

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so much!!!😝

[@rezista7112]

Great video!!! Are these the most current 2023 rule set? Just curious

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you! And good question, but the answer is no hehe this video was created just before WFTDA released the new 2023 ruleset so it's based on the 2018 ones but luckily there were only some minor changes + updates!! If more new changes come about, I will think about making an updated vid (:

[@LaredoHk]

Very well done.

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Thank you so so much! And I believe you reffed for ARD this past weekend (: It was a pleasure to have my penalties called by you HAHA

[@LaredoHk]

@@jampackedrollerderby7452 Impactful Players have impactful penalties. Grats on top blocker stats for the game (iirc) Your progression over the last year deserves credit.

[@williamfromm7613]

Thank you this is an excellent video!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Omg I’m looking up how to actually pronounce it rn 😂🙈

[@AncientSarah]

@@jampackedrollerderby7452 I love how you say it....don't change lol. :)

[@elbotchk]

i’m in the “learning the ropes of the sport but haven’t applied to join a team yet” stage and i’m watching all the derby content i can absorb. i kind of wish for some IRL examples of the penalties from real bouts. i know it would end up being so so so SO much more work - having to watch 101 different uploads to try and find examples of each penalty. but the gifs are helpful though!! thank you for this video!!

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

Ugh that was my DREAM initially-to find IRL examples!! Like you said, it just takes forever to find them😂 I’ll try to make some shorter videos with examples so it’s less daunting!

[@sarahserenity3872]

I'm 8 min in and am so happy I found ur vid! I subscribed and will absolutely be checking out ur other vids. This is such an adorable, funny, and helpful way to learn more about roller derby! I'm a new fan and want to learn all about it. Thank you! 🛼🛼💜💜

[@jampackedrollerderby7452]

YAY Sarah that makes me soooo happy to hear! Welcome to the derbyverse (:
