Jacques Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Seeing as he was busting to tell us about Taitoo`s Training Schools perhaps Philip Rising should give us an update as to where we are with them, I`ve got my bike and I`ve got my Kevlars only need the dates and venues now.

stevehone Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 did Barry Briggs help Tatum, or am I imagining it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sommelier Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Your jealousy has no limits does it! Who was this Dane then? I know Jan O Pedersen was looking to run training schools.. but Tai is already more successful. Hans Nielsen, he run training school at Reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know as much as you make out you do as you would know who the world class Dane was who ran a British training school to put something back into British speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 did Barry Briggs help Tatum, or am I imagining it??? That's right. Briggo wanted to help him win the 86 world final, and gave him a right rollocking after Kelvin out trapped Nielsen but went too wide on the first corner and Hans cut back under him. He'd have been in a run-off for the title with Hans and Jan O if he'd won that race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Only T In the 1940s riders were sometimes involved in matches at New Cross on a Wednesday, then went into a World Final at Wembley the next night. I don't recall any finalists complaining about this in those days? New Cross and Wembley are hardly the same distance apart as England and Poland! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4gillian Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 You really don't get it do you C4G. Tai can run his training schools, no one objects to it. If folk want to pay to participate that's their free choice. The objection is the BSPA backing it. They to my knowledge have never backed any individual riders training school (quite rightly IMHO). I do not dispute that riders have always learnt from other more experienced/better riders, after all that's how all humans learn most skills. That does not mean they have to go a training school to do so. Does Tai intend to teach these young British riders how to conduct themselves in interviews with the media? Poultec do and I'm pretty sure their teachings will be acceptable to far more people than Tai's examples of profanity in such situations BTW you still haven't addressed the fact that British riders (of any standard) have been restricted in their ability to observe Tai racing in the UK and how he conducts himself in the pits. edited to add I believe that is exactly what Chris Harris has done this season, taking young British riders to GPs with him to allow them to gain from the experience. No backing from the BSPA just a desire to help youngsters. Nothing in the world to stop Tai doing the same What are you wittering on about? You are ignoring my point so I'm not going to bother saying anything further except Tai offered to help British riders and the BSPA didn't want a bar of it. End of.

BWitcher Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Who am I jealous of ? You don't know as much as you make out you do as you would know who the world class Dane was who ran a British training school to put something back into British speedway Well we've had three different answers. Hans Nielsen ran a school, I know Jan O Pedersen has been involved in a school and Waihekeaces says Erik Gundersen was also looking at doing something. Whichever of the three, your claim that Tai will 'never be as successful' is false. He may be, he may not be, time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans was the ultra professional rider and great to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yeah, Briggo helped Tatum in 1985/86 (87?) on speedway then Mauger had a little involvment with Kelv's later longtrack wins. Think Mauger also had the odd word with with Simon Wigg, as again did Briggo I think, from time to time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tai's backup in the swc of the likes of Harris cook king etc. doesn't really compare with gundersen pedersen and knudsen does it?
