Sir Sidney Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 This is a vague memory from many years ago, but do I recall a PR stunt involving a rider going round a garage forecourt to promote indoor speedway? Ian Thomas involvement? I'm sure someone can help out here. Wasn't it Tony Briggs,promoting the Wembley indoor meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 your missing the point slightly , nobody is interested in organised crap we just want to have fun on wheels whenever and wherever we like , there is some woods by me where loads of lads rode our mx bikes but now no one can ride there , when I was in Czech a couple of years ago there were kids everywhere on fields and round lakes on mx bikes it was refreshing to see , I have bikes but have to travel to use them , I live 3 miles from a speedway track but I can't just turn up ride my speedway bikes whenever I feel like it but you can in polandI agree with you regarding youngsters using their motocross bikes in woods etc, they always either get stopped by the police or in the case near me a few years back, trees were laid across the track, how stupid and dangerous was that when the youngsters didn't know!

MattK Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 even so this is typical of Poland and one thing it shows is how far stuck up our own backside with health and safety we are in Britain Funny you should say that. Only last week some was doing doughnuts and burnouts in a drift car around the magic roundabout in Swindon for a promotional video. Obviously the neighbours complained, but it can be done.

SCB Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 yes the original video was organised by red bull, but in general they want to ride in a field ,they ride , they want to ride on a lake , they ride and nobody says a thing , I want to ride my bikes and I have to travel half the country and then can't start them till a certain time and then can't ride in the pits , it's all h&s crap and I firmly believe as someone who has had the misfortune to have work with Tata steel that H&S was a big factor in why they are in the trouble they are in ,H&S is killing this country I used to work for TATA (Corus at the time) and we had some Scandinavians over and they looked at all the guards on the machinery and asked, "why?" so we explained it was health and safety, stop people putting arms in machines. He stopped, looked at us in the most perplexed way and responded, "What? We don't need guards in Sweden (or whatever country he was from), we have common sense, nobody is stupid enough to put their hand in a machine" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 https://www.facebook.com/kotyllo/videos/1342060405823550/ Both track and crowd looked about the same size as Lakeside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Pretty sure that'll be a Redbull sponsored promo thing as they'd done it before, going up a mountain I think it was The riders are Red Bull sponsored Janowski and the Pawlicki brothers with Hampel there watching.
