f-s-p Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 It's a "video" of a trip to Leningrad by Kalevi Kyyhkynen (former rider and then manager of the Helsinki club in Finland). It's from the year I was born, 1977. They mention 15 bikes being prepared and Kyyhkynen himself is enlisting for the team at 2:58. Dont know if a joke or not. There's a couple of other of his speedway videos from that same speedwaysuomi.com account. Think one of the was from a Wembley final. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 The Wembley clip you mention is also fantastic viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Just found this Swindon speedway practice in the 60`s video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFIeGS9tp74 and a John Davis Weymouth training school 1984 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oVEqZ9LJMI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Fantastic finds...I've seen the Swindon one before, but not the Weymouth. Great footage. Thanks for sharing. I maybe mistaken, and memory is hazy, but two of those riders look like Ralf Gramstad and Steen Mastrup at Weymouth training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
