1.Kitting the birds must kit tight you dont want out birds they distract the kit from working and wind you up.

2.Speed you want them fast as possible when you see a bird turn in to a blur you will no  what your looking for.

3.Style when looking at the birds from underneath you dont want to see the wings outstretch in the roll like a axle the wings want to be tucked in Like a H shape or even better a A shape.

4.Frequancy to score in compition you want them rolling at least once a minute twice a minute would be better but get them to frequant and you will lose Quality!

5.Try to breed round 1 family my advice would be to purchace birds from the people who are doing well it will save you years of hard work.

6.Time you will need lots of it to fly a good quality kit of rollers dont think buying from the best will make you the best.Its like anything put time and effort in and the rewards are well worth it.

Hope this helps.
