Vesmaco Invention: synthetic resins over asphalt - L'Aquila 2004

durflex® 101 sp roller professional
In 2004 I received an inquiry for the renovation of the track of L'Aquila (Italy). That city was designed to host the Inline Speed World Championships of that year. This is the origin of the cycle/system durflex® 101 sp roller professional. I was called to make a first inspection of the work-site and I proposed an innovative solution: the creation of a particular substrate in bituminous conglomerate (having a particular grain size) to be paved with a special thick coating made of acrylic resins.

The 2004 Worlds have definitely stated the overcoming of the track in concrete and defined the beginning of a new era for the practice of roller skating. Vesmaco's durflex® 101 sp roller professional has officially accepted, "synthetic resins over asphalt". After three years of observation and after practical and costant tests during successive races, Federal Technicians, in charge of surface control, noticed that the characteristics of adherence and smoothness were unchanged. Since the above characteristics have to be considered as essential under a safety point of view, in such a sport, the FIRS (International Roller Sports Federation) has officially approve the durflex® 101 sp roller professional cycle/system.
