p'boro lad Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Moosetash64, everyone one is allowed to celebrate every little milestone in speedway, to flip a bike at the start of a race and to then carry on with the thought in the back of your mind that it could happen again at every start you do takes courage (or as one ex-rider told us "your brains left in your toolbox") All the lads out there have a lot more courage than most people on here slaging them off. I take my hat off to each and everyone of them. One day one of these socalled "wobblers" ( I hate that term with a passion as all riders had to learn) could be our next greatest speedway hope. I hope that yourself and Adam don't let it get you down enjoy your latest achievement, I know we did. Also hope that Kyle and Daryl have recovered from their accident. You will find below a Quote from a Letter sent by # Name Removed # to all U15 competitors:- Far be it for me to give you words of advice as far as riding a bike is concerned, but some words of wisdom I would like to share with you are these - "The minute you stop trying to succeed, is the minute you will start to fail." You all have a great talent, for it is not an easy thing to ride Speedway. and however good or bad, you might think you are at the moment, there will be room for improvement. For some it will take a lot longer than others, but you all have the capability, the ambition and the courage to race, so don't give up. We all want to see more British World Champions lift that most sought after prize in the sport, and, who knows, it could well be one of you guys one day. Well done on your achievements so far, and the best of luck in the rest of the competition. # Name Removed #. David is a man that we have spoken to and understands the commitment (monetary and time wise in the hope that things go right for your son or daughter for an amazing career/life to develop) by parents and families, a great man who is full of praise for any rider "however good or bad". Keep it up all the U15 riders it's been a great series with good racing, we're really enjoying our time involved in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosetash64 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I would also like to say there may have only been 7 riders at the start and 5 at the finish, but all 7 riders rode their hearts out regardless of where they came, as did the riders of the 250's. All the people that turned up to give their support to the lads wouldn't have gone home disappointed? I believe this by the applause all the riders got at the end of each and every race! I must also add that it was a delight to see how supportive each rider was towards each other by way of praising and congratulating them after thier races. Good luck to all riders in both the 250 & 500 classes in the remaining rounds and dont let people who leave negative comments get to you!!!! Hope both kyle and daryl make a speedy recovery?.

Main Man Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well done to one and all. Wish I could have been in two places at the same time but with the Wasps on a northern tour had to miss out on the 3rd round on Saturday. Congratulations to Ashley on his win in the 500's and Robert in the 250's ==== but well done to one and all who took part and it is a great pity not all the lads completed the meeting. I spoke to Daryl Ritchings dad tonight and he is battered and bruised but after a short rest will be back on his bike and giving it his all. I cannot believe someone has had a go at Adam Kirby's dad , Paul, for being proud and celebrating Adam's riding . I know them well and gave Adam his first rides at Mildenhall last year and he progressed so much in a short space of time ...well done Adam. I heard that they were all ready and waiting to get out on track for each race ---well trained these lads are already!! I have tried to run second halves at most Newport meetings this year and will continue to do so and the 250 lads and under 15's will always be welcome to take part ----they all need track time and as many laps as possible along with help, guidance and encouragement and like Malcolm says even if we are still there at midnight bringing on young British talent it is worth it. Roll on round 4 on July 25th at Buxton !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanr1 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I just fail to see how any Dad can get excited about his Son finishing 4th out of 5 And i bet your Dad is proud of you, picking on kids on an internet forum. Your attitude is poor mate, you should take a good look at yourself if you take enjoyment from upsetting others. What can you possibly get from posting something like that where you know the kid and his family will read it? Keep your ignorant views to yourself. I rode when i was Adam's age, i was never as good as these lads but me and my Dad enjoyed every second of it. He would regularly drive us to Long Eaton after work on a Wednesday night, sometimes just to get 4 laps, we didn't get home until the early hours and he was back at work at 6 am. The parents of these lads put so much into it, they deserve to celebrate their achievements and don't need miserable sods like you spoiling it. Keep going for it Adam, don't let anyone spoil your enjoyment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
771neil Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well said deanr1 and thanks jollyrodger after all the heart acre ashley has had at these meeting he finally wins one and you turn the posting into a slagging match instead of a positive thread as been said before hope your dads proud.

pudding Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 neil ,, you deserve some credit to m8 ,, you've passed on your experience ,, given your time & no doubt shed loads of cash for ash to follow his dreams ,,,, he's a good kid who just keeps getting better & better ,, just like the rest of the young lads we often see at scunny ripping it up ,, if you want to see wobblers ,, come and watch me and my pal's in the support class at scunny but i dont care what folk say about me ,, im big enough and ugly enough to left hook anyone brave enough to say it to my face ,,,, its my hobby & i love it ,,, it takes big balls to keep the throttle open for 4 laps ,,, luck for me i have another use for mine so i do wobble around ,, but at least im having a go & my money helps keep these clubs going hope these young lads who get slagged off take no notice , its not worth the effort keep up the good work neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger MARTIN Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) If all a person can do is come on the site and have a go at a joung lad having a go in a sport that would scare most people to even try, then he as a very sad life, i watch these young lads at the sba in Plymouth, i think they are brilliant, Ben Morley when he came down with Rye House, was a joy to watch, so dont knock any of them.

RumOldBird Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well done to all those who are taking part in the Under 15's Championship and I can't wait for the Isle of Wight leg. I am a reasonably new speedway fan and have started attending Swindon meetings (Kings Lynn when i'm visiting family) and there was no less excitement at Weymouth than there is at these meetings. If you get the chance to go to one of these Under 15's meetings I would recommend it. Well done to Ashley and Robert on winning and everyone else for a great day out. Just a passing thought. Was Darcy Ward's 3rd places for Belle Vue against Coventry nothing to be proud of? After all there were only 4 riders in his races, but I bet he was pleased and shockingly he 'only' achieved 4th in Heat 15. Shame on him, I think not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 And i bet your Dad is proud of you, picking on kids on an internet forum. Read my original post very slowly i was not picking on any kid just commenting on a Dad who gets excited because his Son comes 4th in the final. I remember one Under 15 Champion who never collected any trophy other than the winners . I wish all kids taking part in this event the very best of luck and stay safe but having seen many a Dad living his dream in junior speedway i find your comments really funny Sadly my Dad passed away many years ago,but yes he was proud of me in my Football achievments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosetash64 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yes we did read your comment carefully,you hit the nail on the head your dad was proud of you playing football,did you play for man utd,liverpool,newcastle no i think not but he was still proud of every kick you made. How many matches have been won by own goals should they have never celebrated a win.As far as you commenting on parents living there dreams through juniour speedway,most would disagree or be affended, i enjoyed doing stock car racing and gave adam the choice to do it ,but he wanted to do speedway so i gave it up. As a good parent you help them fullfill there own dreams and your proud of them whatever they achieve nomatter how small or big.Adam said himself his goal this year was to just reach the semis because there is so many good riders in the under 15s ,which he managed to do and all of them battled for the first place, so to actually make it to the finals was a great achievement .this is all the comments were going to make because your not worth it .We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate ashl and robert on winning there respective finals you both deserved it and ALL other riders who made it such a good day,and dont you think this is what we should be talking about.

jules m Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Weymouth speedway staged the third round of the Great British Under 15s Championship last weekend which saw eleven year Robert Lambert land the spoils in the 250cc class and fifteen year old Ashley Morris was victorious in the 500cc class. There was some very lively action from the future stars of British speedway and several race times were on par with the National League times. Phil Bartlett, Wildcats promoter said “All the lads rode their hearts out and should all be very proud of themselves. There was some cracking racing and all the riders conducted themselves admirably and were a credit to themselves and British speedway. It was nice to see local lad Daniel I’Anson who did very well coming third in the 500cc Class.” This Friday the Bournemouth Buccaneers visit the Wessex Bus Raceway for the first leg of the second round of the Knock-Out Cup. After the Wildcats disappointing display at Wimborne Road last month, the Wildcats will hope to avenge their twenty point defeat and put themselves in a strong position for the second leg. Team Manager, Jem Dicken said, “This is going to be one of the meetings of the season with a big crowd expected. Bournemouth are one of the favorites for most of the National League competitions along with ourselves. However, I am confident that we have enough strength to build up a big enough lead to take to their place next month.” Dicken added “The league match at Bournemouth was a one off for us, you can cope with one, maybe two riders having problems, but we had six of the team really struggling. Only Lee Smart rode anywhere near his potential, but take nothing away from the Buccaneers they did their job and did it well.” The meeting sees several old faces return to the Wessex Bus Raceway. Jay Herne, Kyle Newman and Danny Warwick have all donned the Wildcats race jacket in the past so will be looking to use their knowledge of the circuit to their advantage.

andy james Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) coming from sum1 who i think used to post as christophers dad thats quite an accusation and twice as sad I think you mean me, my Chris quit because he was intelligent enough to realise he was only invited to make up the numbers and would never make a good living out of playing being a speedway rider. Also the day he was happy finishing 2nd made my mind up, mind you that was out of 4 Edited June 17, 2009 by andy james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p'boro lad Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Sadly its a no but i have played on all their grounds and earnt a living out of the game for almost 10yrs This season is the worst turn out in the 500cc as some decent young riders have left the sport for other things. But i hope you all enjoy it With people like you "Dissing" their parents reactions and there riding you can't wonder they have left the sport. You really have to be thick skinned to be able to carry on sometimes. Who did you play football for? Do we know them? Not Acrington Stanley or some equal team? You know everyone you have spoke against on here, but you hide behind a nickname, very grown up and mature. I'm sorry but until you use your real name or even better introduce your self to us all, your comments should be deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 How did he get on in the final of a field that finished with 5 riders Done well then out of a field of 5 that actually finished Yes i would be excited also :lol: Read my original post very slowly i was not picking on any kid just commenting on a Dad who gets excited because his Son comes 4th in the final. Are you ? Or are you mocking a very young speedway riders efforts out on the track ? Difficult to tell that from those posts so I suggest that in future you make yourself clear in future or keep your facetious remarks to yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
