I actually have a copy of a script for a movie based on the Rollerball
concept. It was written by a guy in NYC but I'd have to dig it out to
remember who. Was it Wayne Pounds? I'm not sure.

The original Rollerball movie was built on the popularity of Roller
Derby. For those unfamiliar with that televised sport, it was kind of
like WWF on roller skates. Lots of B.S. fighting while pretending to
race around a little track.

This doesn't really explain how a 1990s remake could still be popular.
🙄

On a unicycle, how do you get towed by a motorcycle? Got to have those
motorcycles for speed, noise and potential explosions! 🙂

It sounds like fun (to watch, not to play). But I'd be much more
interested in unicycle games that are easier to set up and play, like
good-ol Sumo. Maybe you could come up with a unicycle-based
football-type game? Or to keep it real simple, variations on the basic
game of Tag can be really fun as well.

I'll put $20 on Team Truckee. Those guys haul a** up hills, I'd imagine
they'd toast anyone on flat ground. What's the spread?

I'd gladly play, as long as it's a full-contact game.

Nothing is better than beating the snot and knocking the teef out of

The 'Koxx-One' (http://www.koxx-one.com) guys get towed by cars...
Could take instruction from some of their videos :p (I'm fairly sure
that you could do the same with motorcycles - Note: I'm not suggesting
you -should- though)

To be clear, Rollerball wasn't about the game or the skating (or even
about James Caan, although he'd argue that). It was all about that
flame gun that could nuke a tree half a mile across an open field. One
of those and a Coker, and your urban transportation problems are
solved. 🙂

Seems Roller Derby is experiencing a revival out West ('Link'

There is an indoor derby track is in Seattle, perhaps we can put
something together with the SARS.

I guess you missed the part of my original post that stated: “…but
would be really cool on 36” wheel unicycles :eek:… minus the
motorcycle.” The geared Coker takes care of the speed… and I think
seeing a bunch of madmen flying around a track (regular Cokers are
pretty fast, too) and up a 15 foot wall to score will be a good
substitute for noise and potential explosions… especially considering
that there’s bound to be plenty of hairy wipe-outs! I think it could
make for a really great extreme spectator sport… and it seems like
there would be plenty of volunteers as far as players. If you license
the sport to some major casino in Vegas (which are always looking for
new and exciting forms of entertainment) and willing to pay BIG $$$,
then you could afford to pay the player 6 figure salaries – especially
if the casino is generating even more money from accepting bets on the
game! Anyway, on unicycles the game would involve skill and strategy to
a much greater extent than the original concept on rollerskates or
rollerblades... and would be much cooler!

On the East Coast, too. There's an all-female Roller Derby in New York
called Gotham Girls Roller Derby
(http://www.gothamgirlsrollerderby.com)

If you put something together with SARS, you may force me to move to
Seattle... or recruit enough riders to NYC to set up a New York team! I
envision the riders down under could put a team together... and the
Aussies would probably go nuts for it! Germany and the UK, too! Maybe
even South Africa! A truly international sport... that would be nice!

While I fear Hardcore Coker rider finding me a traitor and him not
offering me any of his favourite alcoholic treats when I see him in a
few weeks, I believe 29r's would make a better 'horse' in this
sport...

They would be much more nimble and as such be able to keep the momentum
of the game going.

PS...I will be in Seattle in March 🙂

Well... my favorite watering hole does have the freshest pints of
Guinness anywhere on the island of Manhattan, State of New York, and
perhaps anywhere in the country... stored in a separate cold room at
precisely the right temperature, apart from all the other brews, and
selling so many pints so as to ensure the freshest supply... plus the
owners is an absolute Guinness fanatic who cleans the lines constantly.
Oh, back to uniball and unicycles... the 29er more nimble than the
Coker... I beg to differ! The Coker is as nimble as can be... my
latest move on my Coker is a pirouette - which I never was able to do
on a smaller wheel uni. The Coker is incredibly nimble and
maneuverable... especially with the lightweight Airfoil rim. You can
dive the Coker into a turn, nearly hit your foot against the ground,
and then straighten it up as soon as you come out of the turn... how
much more nimble do you need? Plus the Coker is faster, higher up, and
more visually impressive - making for a more entertaining sport for the
crowd! Are you ready to reconsider... those pints are awfully tasty!
