    we, as always, had a great time, a litlle later start for us this year (11:15!!) and drinking whilst we wait meant we were very loud and had a small audience of die hard roller racers left…

    Still great though, think i still have a hangover today!

    Next year we ride and we set up outside if the weether is as glorious as it was this year!

    SSJeff, well last year we struggled to find people later on in the evening, probably as we were outside and it was cold, so this year we just went with a leaderboard…

    However, as we were indoors we should probably have at least run a top 8…next year I think we will definately do that and hopefully have a few more racers who have not been distracted by a football match !!

    that must be Keith then, my ears are still ringing from Brandon and Dan’s efforts with the megaphones, must remember to “fix” the volume control a bit lower…

    Brandon was fast, for his age and size it was incredible, looked like he could have done it all day as well 🙂

    photos and times here

    We were there in guildhall square roller racing all day. Was a busy day for sure and the two mechanics near us had queues all day mainly fixing gears and pumping up tyres. Never saw Kirsty Gallacher either. Did anyone on here race with us?

    Spokebloke ,

    Thought I would chip in as we would be keen to get involved if we can help at all.

    We are South Coast Sprints, based on the South coast (Hampshire, Sussex, Dorset). We are running an Opensprints system, GFX front end. Coloured platforms, lights, identical bikes and a PA/Music system complete our rig.

    We were inspired by the Rolapaluza setup, and felt that roller racing needs a bigger audience.( Rolapaluza doesn’t come south very often, Northern Rollers, Ginnel Whippet and the Keirin Bar are too far north.)

    Take a look at the website, http://southcoastsprints.wordpress.com

    find us on Facebook

    or PM me at
