Alex2000 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hopefully he will do the MDL isn't there a training track somewhere that Len silver has something to do with or is that me going mad? Iwade that's it. But that won't help them ride their own track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwade that's it. But that won't help them ride their own track All laps are good laps but MDL or amateur racing is what's needed to hone skills, get a decent marker of how good you are and most importantly develop the skills required when things go wrong, a talent sadly lacking in many new riders.

TurnTwo Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 No disrespect but other than Brennan and bickley what other kids do you see that are going to take on the likes of pawlicki brothers when they were 16 or the Brady Kurtz etc from around the world British youth has 2/3 riders that will go past NL reserve level and that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Lewis Bridger & rob Lambert are the only two I can remember if recent that have walked into an elite league team after a handful of expirence at nl level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Brennan and Bickley, The Thompson Twins, The McGurks, Anders Rowe to name a few. Not tipping these names to go on to world level but all capable of getting past NL reserve. Not all champions are ready at 16. Im fed up with the theory that if you haven't made it by 20 you never will. What is wrong with giving riders time to progress & learn their skills so that when the time comes to step onto the bigger stages they are fully prepared. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Until they've all sat on a 500cc no one can predict then to be world beaters. It's just amazing that Poland Denmark Sweden and Australia are producing these riders at such a young age. Do Australia have a league dedicated to just Australians to race like our NL? They have to come over to the pl on a 5 which is obviously harder than the NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just putting it out there that Saul Bulley has ridden Eastbourne a few times including what looks like last years P&P or open practise session. Also looks like he has links with Somerset who Eastbourne seem to be linking with at the moment. https://www.facebook.com/BDMC-Racing-816508375073015/?ref=profile I believe he is 15 maybe 16. Although I didn't think much of him last year at the championship of sussex I think it was I wouldn't be surprised if he is a possibility.

Sings4Speedway Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bulley as number 8? As all quiet on the Strudwick front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Strudwick is in the USA, he has gone out there to ride and see if he can mix it up with them, America run 3 different levels of racing, division 1, being the better one and 3 being the lower one, i think that Niall should be in division 1 in the meeting that will show you that the standard of racing, one of the Dugards went to the states a few years ago and he went on to win the division 3 meeting and he has never raced a bike before. So lets see how Niall does wish him all the Luck i would hope with the standard out there that he should be in the top 3. you can follow him on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well good luck to him whichever class he chooses to ride in. A nice holiday & a chance to ride, sure there are plenty of riders who would love to swap places with him right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I have not seen the line up but are they divided up into divisions or is it just a full on handicap meeting. Kennett and so on all ride in the big meetings out there, those meetings are like a GP in the USA all the top stars, But like you said a lot of riders would love to swap places with Niall. But i guess if you have nowhere to ride in the UK you may as well look at the bigger picture and ride else where, USA, USA, USA.

arnieg Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) PERRIS WINTER OLYMPIQUE JANUARY 16TH latest entry list and news 5 Max Ruml 7 Novratil 10 Geist 45 Galvin 48 Talkington 60 Clark 90 Strudwick 109 Nermarnik 111 Dillon Ruml 122 Siegel 140 Kurtis Hamill 150 Barry 153 Moreau 155 Dalbey 163 Davis 170 Perrault (match race only) 211 Brown 215 Willis 277 Rishton 220 Bryant 222 Leedy 227 Whitcomb 245 Fuson 246 Barrett 266 Jade 273 Gayle 290 Hartke 293 Valdez 345 Richards 351 Bennett Only the first five plus Dillon Ruml could really be described as Division One riders (although I would imagine Kurtis Hamill will progress to D1 fairly quickly) Question: which current Eastbourne rider has ridden at Perris?

*JJ Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 But i guess if you have nowhere to ride in the UK you may as well look at the bigger picture and ride else where, USA, USA, USA. There is somewhere: Scunthorpe. Mind you, Scunthorpe or California? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Question: which current Eastbourne rider has ridden at Perris? I reckon Hopwood? How comes Perrault is match race only? Are there restrictions on entry if you "don't have the balls"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
