THE LAST RIDE OF THE SEASON!!

This is it! Last week we didn't even have a layout for this track but now not only did we make it, but also filmed the last GP of the season!

Jelle first made the layout Minos proposed for the track itself. When we make a new track we first make sure it fits the studio. The available space we have is 5m wide by 2m long. (approximately 16ft wide by 6.5ft long).

Inside Jelle's studio!

Electron expressway is back!  We are on a roll and happy to say we finished filming of all M1 2023 Season!

Even though the Expressway wasn't the last GP to film here is some behind the scenes about it!

Jelle is fixing the splits. Slower marbles will benefit from having the inside line while the faster ones will have to go all the way in the outside

Let's talk about Sakura Garden!

Hello fellas! Was it a blue Monday for you today? Nah.. it's pink Monday!! Welcome, to Sakura Garden!
This will be the 3rd grand prix of M1 2023, with the M1 circus travelling to the Pinkies' hometown for the first time in history!


The layout of the track is designed by one of our valuable JMA members, John! His idea was to have a technical first part of the track with a split in between thro...

POV - You're the camera operator

Hello folks! We would like to continue our streak with sharing images from the set! A bit retrospective today we show the camera angles from the Misty Mountain GP!


This is the sneaky mini cam we hold inside the JMR lego tower, and will show you the action from the starting grid! Marble Greg was pleased to operate the camera setup as he went a short promenade from his quarters at the commentary...

Let the party begin!

10 days until the premiere of M1 2023! You excited yet?

The truth about that 'extra' M1S4 GP

To be honest we weren't sure whether this info was interesting, but given the feedback from you all we decided to for it!

As mentioned on previous posts the initial calendar or M1 2023 (aka M1S4) did not include the Misty Mountain. Instead we were planning a 3rd new track hosted by the Chocolatiers!

The design was meant to be chocolate-themed but we struggled with that. One of our JMA members though came with the idea to make a candy-shaped layout. He drew it on paper and here i...

Marbula 1 Season 4 Teams and Racers

Alright!! The time has come! Here are the 20 teams and their roster selection for the fourth season of the revolution of Marble Racing, Marbula 1.

It's been a long season, with teams trying to get a ticket to the 4th season of M1, and given their popularity, their results in recent years and the racing spirit they have, Jelle and the JMA selected the best 20 teams for this season.

We have seen a reddit post which was published after we selected the teams, and we were happy to see ...

Another GP track is made by Jelle! [MILD NON-RACING SPOILERS]

Jelle has completed the track build for the next Marbula 1 race! 

This time it's a returning track with Gliding Glaciers making things right. Last year we have had a series of incidents at the ice sheet, with marbles struggling for grip at the section after the fast right-hander banked hairpin.

This year the organizers decided to keep the layout as is, with a change on the surface, putting tarmac at the slalom along with some kerbs (or curbs, whatever), to make the marbles' l...

More behinid the scenes ahead of the premiere of M1S4!

Hello everyone!

We are doing well in terms of making S4 better and faster production-wise, while we keep marble racing at the top level! Jelle's experience with marbledrome tracks has come a long way and apart from experimenting on new features, we keep the core philosophy of marble racing as you requested!

That said, no more gimmicks like the yellow chicanes, or the helix or even the tubes will be featured in M1, leaving racing to the abilities of the racers and their marble-to-m...

More on GP3!

Yesterday we revealed some images from the construction of GP3 but which GP that was? Here is the answer! Sorry for using the same image in the post's title this was done to avoid spoilers for the general public.

Another outdoor event in ML22 - Behind the scenes!

How is everyone doing? Now that we have announced the premiere date of Marble League 2022, we are ready to show you some more behind-the-scenes stuff!!

Once more, we visited Doornse Gat this steep sand hill to record the outdoor triathlon! The location of the triathlon event is different compared to that from the Qualifiers, as it was impossible to get to this ultimate sand park a month ago. A lot of people were enjoying the sun so now that the weather is colder we were able to go there...

Guess the event! ML22

Green Ducks are based in the Brace Isles, known or their green meadows. As the are hosting ML22, which event you think this venue will feature?

How Jelle makes the stadium? There it is fellow patrons!

Jelle has completed all the preparations ahead of the Marble League 2022, hosted by the Green Ducks. We will see a new stadium configuration, as the marbles are on set. Which is the best angle? Will you choose a seat in your favourite seat in the stands?

Fun fact: Jelle is keeping all his marbles in these blue boxes depending on their style and colour. All O'rangers marbles are stored in a box like this, while the teams' athletes are stored in a separate gutter.

Update ahead of the ML22 Qualifiers

Hello Patrons, here are some more insight news ahead of the new ML season! It comes with no surprise given the issues this team had in recent years. The overall form has been dropped since their hosting year. This time they hope to overcome their weakness and perform in the main league, by promoting two of their academy athletes in the big team! Welcome Snowfall and Snowdrift!

Further roster changes ahead of Marble League 2022!

It seems the roster changes are not over, more teams are set to announce their final changes ahead of this season of ML, with Limers this time breaking the ground with an official announcement!

The team will have a new coach hoping to step up their game and qualify for the main league in 2022! "Medals are our main goal"

We didn't get to see an outdoor Triathlon, but we will get to see it in ML22! M1 track, sand and water!

Hope you like this event, we will share more stuff as we come closer to announcing the premiere date of ML22!

All the teams that will participate in ML22!

Ain't that a beautiful sight? ML22 will have 32 teams, of which 16 will compete in the main league and the other 16 will compete in the showdown! Top left are the auto-qualified teams, [ML21 top 3 and the hosts], and top right are the 4 expansion SD teams!

The draw is recorded and the qualifiers events are ready to roll! For which team are you mostly excited for?
