Originally from the courier scene, Rollapaluza is a static indoor bike race held in pubs or clubs. The races are usually 500 meter to 1 kilometer sprints on genuine track bikes. In London, the burgeoning fixed-wheel bike scene is helping to draw more and more people to the events where the combination of beer and fierce competition makes for an electric atmosphere.

Vice Versus - Vienna Hardstyle
Hardstyle is a subgenre of techno and in the last 5 years has become a big scene amongst the kids of Vienna. They flock together in well-organized groups and put clips of their frenzied dancing on Youtube. The hardstyle kids are now taking over nightclubs with their dance-offs and even have rival groups. We follow a team as they practice for the big dance off!

Affordable Art in 2008
Continuing with our art coverage this autumn, we went down to Battersea Park to get the low down on the preview evening of the the Affordable Art Fair. Aptly named 'affordable' because you will not find a single piece over £3,000, and even then you'll probably find a lot selling for less, it means you’ll be hard pushed not to find something within your price bracket. For those who are looking for the next Banksy be sure to check out the Recent Graduates' Exhibition to gaze at a diverse spectrum of talent springing up from the UK's art schools. We interviewed gallery owners Rebecca Hossack and Alison Honour, The Fine Art Partnership gallerist Rebecca Eames, and artist-in-residence Charlotte Hardy. We also speculated the future of art as investment with Will Ramsay, the founder of the Affordable Art Fair. Tiffany Fairey of PhotoVoice talks about being the beneficiary charity for the preview night of the fair. We also mingled with the collectors and guests, asking them whether they thought art was a luxury or a necessity.

Vice Versus - Westbank Taggers
When the separation wall was built along the West Bank it immediately became the ultimate challenge for global street artists. We meet three local street artists from the West Bank capital city of Ramallah - who have now turned their hobby into a fully fledging operation - so that anyone around the world can now immortalize their words on the wall without needing a passport or can of krylon.
