Thanks Jim - You ever considered a painting of The Great Dane, Im sure it would be a good seller

[Guest Jim Blanchard]

Funny you should say that rami. That last action shot I have of EG I think would make a super art print. I have produced some initial sketches of that image and it would not include the riders that are behind him. I am thinking of a limited run of perhaps 200 and maybe if I can locate Erik and make a suitable payment to him as a licensing fee, all of them would be signed by him as well. I like the idea and it could well be my next speedway project.

 

Thanks for you vote of confidence.

Am I right in thinking that this would be the meeting of Eric's accident.

 

Always makes these photos all the more poignant when you see them & makes you realise how fragile a riders careers/health is

As a Bees fan growing up the Cradley riders were the ones we loved to hate, but for some reason I could never dislike Gundersen........

 

An excellent idea for a painting JB, you'd certainly have a queue forming down Dudley Wood

Yes HG. This one I am happy to show but not the rest of the sequence of other riders obviously upset at surgery being performed on Erik on the track.

Before anyone does get on my case I did not take any pictures of Erik on the track only a few of the other riders. At that point I was unaware how badly he was hurt until I saw the reaction of other riders, then I realised the seriousness of the accident - I stopped shooting.

No complaints here Jim, don't think anyone expected what happened, its amazing the recovery Eric did make all being considered.

[Mark Evans]

I have video footage of that crash from the same angle you took these pics Jim. Only watched it once since and then only after i knew he was out of danger..

[rami]

Put me down for a copy Jim when its done, Dont suppose you can do one of Bruce Penhall aswell so i can have prints of my two all time heroes on the wall!!!

[Guest Jim Blanchard]
