While roller racing has a history going back to the beginning of cycling,[1] Goldsprints are fairly new and closely related to bicycle messenger culture.
However some Goldsprints groups are now adding traditional rollers, without forkstands, to their equipment to challenge the advanced riders.
The racetrack is simulated by a video projection, both cyclists have to ride a similar virtual parkour on the cinema screen.
In 2011, Levi's used GoldSprints to premiere their Commuter line of cycling clothes at Tag and Juice in São Paulo.
In the summer of 2009, OpenSprints LLC was contracted by 42 BELOW vodka (owned by Bacardi) to build twenty two 42 BELOW branded turn-key kits.
As part of the project OpenSprints subcontracted Kreitler to develop the first commercially available roller system for GoldSprints.
