SCB Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 The other thing I've noticed with riders that come from motorcross is they can usual gate well! I guess leaving the start with 30 other focuses the mind a little more to get out in front and avoid a melee than it does leaving the start with only 3 others!

A good example of that is Matt Williamson, as well as Lewis Kerr and the Worrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it stopped them from being in the fields on their bikes so they tried speedway instead? Think Berwick were on about getting some of the motocross riders to have a go on their new training track also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I believe it made Lee Complin take up speedway but not any of those mentioned in this thread. I would imagine the lure was that they paid £50 each weekend to race a motocross bike or got paid £20 a point in the NL to ride a bike!

I remember reading about it in the speedway star so it was maybe Ricky and Lee when they went to Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed a deal with Nu Trak to ride speedway, joined Sheffield and the rest is history... Lee Complin was jaw dropping around Owlerton, leg trailing but riding the boards on many occasions (Garry Stead's benefit meeting mainly!). Was gutted when Lee vanished from the sport, even more so when he returned some years later and signed for Stoke ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 a good example of a motocross rider switching codes due to foot and mouth is jonathan rae only switched to road racing from motocross then now a milionaire and 3 times world superbike champion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac101 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Tom Wolley Would be a decent number 7 had a few outings for worky and Glasgow towards the end of the season a lot better than any name mentioned so far or even Ryan Blacklock he was doing ok till his accident for Berwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
