Joe Roe since 1990 Plus almonds I started in 1990 the almonds are 99% Joe Roe's blacks with the Color added in 1990, Oh my gosh color breeder. Not really. But if you want to call me that Ok too. they are for depth
I have competed in the WC and FAll fly since they started with the exception when my wife was sick. Way back when it was called the Paul Vaughn fly. Remember?
Have no desire to accomplish any more that I have over the years.
I enjoy a nice kit of QUALITY rollers. Not what they are judging today. Movement belonged to the man "ELVIS" Not rollers

Name---Bob Sparkman (southern Indiana)
Age----53
Occupation--Bar Manager
Strain----Jaconettes (from Dan Taylor in Missouri)
Goals-----To continue enjoying rollers. To get some young people interested in rollers by helping them get a start.
Compete?----This is my first year of competition. I will enter the fall fly. Right now all I have competed in is division fly's with the Southern Indiana Roller Club. Still have a ways to go but I am learning. I have had rollers on and off for many years but never competed before. It could become an addiction.

Just having so fun in the backyard, flying and watching those birds roll.
I never competed yet but I plan on flying the WC in 2008 Why?? Just for the fun of it! And to be able to say that I have done that! :)
Do I have birds for sale?? Nope! Not my bag of tea. Having fun with them is.

Keith London, Higgins
5.Goal in the roller hobby
To be able to breed, fly and compete high quality spinners
6. Do you compete in kit comps (Club,Fall Fly World Cup)
I currently fly in my club fly's (SGVS). Would love to fly in other competitions and am planning on it. Although this is my first year, I think my birds would be doing better if they would survive the many attacks they suffer.
I raised rollers when I was younger with my brother, but had to give them up and as of last October 2006 just got back into them and am very serious about them. I am enjoying them and the new friends I have made even with the rough start in the hobby...

Bill Gude age 61 still working my but-off Aero and Automotive racing engineer
We live in canyon lake calif. Raised 8 kids a few horses, a couple dogs, and lots of rollers. I lost my original birds in a wind storm and like a dumb A"" I put the old stock birds up to try and lead the kit home (don't say it). I have acquired some new birds from Hector Coya, Gene G. and some odd ball stuff claimed to be from Higgins / Reed I picked them in the loft except the ones from Gene G. 514 line I
Keep my birds at friends home we share in the sport, as this stuck up place I live has a fit if I have birds.
I have flown rollers from 1955 to current but took some time to do the show thing in 77 to 86 I just got up and dumped the show birds Emerson’s, alcorns, out they went. Hope to have a performing kit in a year or two they were looking ok not great then we got hit the whole kits is a mess right now but hope to get them settled down.

NAME: Marcus Freeman
Email ===> deepspinners@usa.com
AGE: 41 Years Young
******************************************************
OCCUPATION: Corporate Securities Trader [stocks, options, stock warrants, bonds & preferred stock]
Amateur Bodybuilder (occupational hobby)
******************************************************
STRAIN: Birds are Plona/Hardesty with a touch of Norm Reed and just recently added some 514 Hilton for good measures. My family of birds tends to run deeper on average (40ft to 60ft) than what's happening with today's modern competition kits; which average around 20ft to 30ft. Frequency remains a big issue and here at Deep Spin Lofts we are scientifically trying to breed more frequency into our family of performing rollers through bio-genetic engineering.
*******************************************************
GOALS: To expand the rolly hobby amongst others with my "Deep Spin Line" & "White Lightning Family" of rolling pigeons. Hope to do all I possibly can to preserve the roll for many generations to come. Winning the World Cup in the future would mean the world to me for all the hard work (blood, sweat & tears) I put into this sport. My ultimate goal is to simply enjoy the dynamic aerial performance of roller pigeons and the wonderful folks I meet from to time in the sport.

I own a small fence company and hold a real estate licence I say "semi-retired" cause i already been "fully tired" once or twice.
I have predominately Elis McDonald and Bobby Bradley Jacs as well as a couple of other strains that i play around with.
My main goal is just to enjoy my birds thats why i got them in the first place. Secondly winning the WC or the FF would be nice.
I fly in every competition available to me for the past 3 years i have been back in the hobby. I have learned alot by doing this.
