Interview with the Sharpe Brothers from IFPA UK 2009

[Deleted member 181]

Was looking again at some of this old footage that I have and I found this interview.

Its kinda cool as the time it was shot every stern release would feel like it was gonna be the last and look now where we are. Pinball is in such a brighter place than it was in 2009. Although these days where the best for me.
Love the way also @bartron jumps in , dont think the yanks get a pillow biting reference stan lol
You can also catch a glimpse of Dave Rolfe in the background.

Let's do a Fake slam to just hoodwink koi into coming back to the UK
Slam 5.0 at the shack ??

Pinball *is* in a brighter place regarding new titles.

But I do think the collector/home market has in some ways changed for the worse .... whilst there are now tons more parts available, mods etc, it just so much harder to find titles , crazy money often when you do, and the days of decent projects and obscure - ish stuff popping up weekly on ebay with a fighting chance of winning the auction ....are sadly over it would seem.

Agreed those days were my best days in pinball

 

[Epotech]

Aah those were the days finished 31st after getting my ass handed to me by these two and andrei. Very nice about it they were too.

[Moonraker]

Wow that brings back memories!

Pity only one of the two slots mentioned for the following year was taken up.

Look at the insane scores on HS2..!

Also amazing is just how many of those that played that weekend are still on the scene 8 years later... https://www.ifpapinball.com/world-championships/ifpa6/2009-results
