Wheels and Waves El Rollo Flat Track Race

Wheels and Waves have introduced a flat track race and asked Sideburn to get involved. this is one of the most influential events in the biking world and we're very happy to be in on it.

The Biarritz-based event is going from strength to strength, extending this year from four to five days.

The track is being built within a horsetrack in nearby San Sebastien, Spain. It is being constructed to the dimensions of the World Speedway host track of King's Lynn, UK and by the company that has been organising Red Bull X Fighters for several years. They are not messing around.

The race takes place on Wednesday 8 June.
