“Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud”

The theme for this year’s NAIDOC Week is “Keep the Fire Burning. Blak, Loud and Proud,” so we’d like to highlight “Skating on Sacred Land” merch, designed by NBR’s Gypsy Wild and Kamilaroi artist Monique Rennie

Check out some our skaters wearing their tops! 🛼

Proceeds from the sale of this shirt go to NBRs Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Equity Fund to increase access and opportunities for First Nations persons within roller derby.

Show your support for NBR’s initiatives by purchasing and proudly wearing a “Skating on Sacred Land” shirt.

⚡ VRDL AT TGSS! ⚡

We had fantastic attendance from our league at The Great Southern Slam this year! Two of our travel teams competed, with many of our officials refereeing or NSOing. We had some dual members competing across multiple teams, some members participated in the potluck and challenge bouts, and supported various teams as benchies throughout the weekend.

Our massive cheer squad set up on Track 1 and also roved around to support our members on other tracks!

A huge thank you to for hosting this amazing tournament, and an enormous shoutout to the officials, organizers, and volunteers.

We can’t wait for 2026!

🌩️ THUNDER AT TGSS! 🌩️

Thunder had a fantastic time at The Great Southern Slam! They competed in Division 1, which was part of the WFTDA Regional Oceania Championships.

The team had a varied amount of experience playing for Thunder, with this being the first big tournament for some players!

They played three fierce games, unfortunately no wins. However, each game got closer and closer in score, with the last being an absolute nail-biter, ending with only an 8-point difference!

Despite the losses Thunder held their ranking and had the best time! They were cheered on by large squads at every game!

Well done, Thunder!
We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings! 👏 💪

💛💚 WORLD SKATE GAMES! 💚💛

Congratulations to everyone who will be representing Australia at the World Skate Games in Italy this September!

We’re thrilled to announce that our very own Vanessa Shredgrave and Curly Burly will be playing in the Roller Derby teams! 🎉

These games will be played under the international rules of roller derby, offering a different experience from the usual WFTDA ruleset!

We can’t wait to cheer them both on! 🥳👏
