NOTICE : Looking for staff re: fall 2017 please send us details if you are interested.
This sport will be the most watched in the history of T.V. By using a slightly modified original rulebook, and up to date gear and vehicles, our new "Roller Ball" sets the bar for massive thrills! It is part UFC, part motorcycle racing, all action from the moment the flag drops! We have the bikes, the riders are all experienced motocross racers. We have done testing with a little help we can put this series on as the most exciting new sport !
Please help us get the ball rolling...and share with friends!

We have years of motorcycle industry experience, looking forward to an exciting new stadium sport / Action TV series! We have been rounding up staff and choosing locations in North America. With your help, we can have our first game in 2017...one year earlier than the original movie predicted!The game is played in a polished wood velodrome, with 'goals' at either end, consisting of electromagnets sunk into circular depressions at about head height. The teams consist of somewhere between 8-16 players , kitted out in light body armour and leather gloves. All players wear rollerskates, except for five members on each team, who ride scrambler style motorcycles with bars for skating players to grab to get towed around the 'drome. The steel ball is fired into the arena at incredibly high speed, initially spinning around the edges like a roulette ball. One player on each team has a large armoured glove-arm for catching the ball. If the ball rolls to the player-pen at the center of the 'drome, or if a goal is scored, the ball is declared dead and another is fired.
After the ball is fired, both teams rush to retrieve it. Once a team has possession of the ball, they must complete one full circuit of the 'drome in a certain direction (clockwise for one team, anti-clockwise for the other) while holding the ball in the air. With a circuit completed, the ball can be thrown into the opposing team's goal, which is made slightly easier by the electromagnetic properties of the goals.
While one team is trying to do this, the other must get the ball off them. How? Any means possible, basically. The game does technically contain fouls. Early games may feature punching, kicking, checking, body-tackles and running people over with motorbikes.
Under standard rules, games last for a set length of time, with each goal worth one point. Players have life support monitors built into their armour; if they lose consciousness , a red light goes up on the scoreboard and a substitute may enter from the pen in the center of the 'drome. Teams have a finite number of subs, and if an entire team is eliminated, the surviving team are declared the winners.
Any donation gets you a chance to be in the first filming of the event! You could be in the crowd... in the pits.. or on the boards! Crazy fun!
Please help fund us for round one...it is going to be HUGE!
