In Poland should he not have been practicing Speedway rather than BMX riding though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Think its a bit harsh to slate the lad for riding his BMX. In all honesty, speedway barely scrapes through as a semi professional sport. Particularly in the UK. Can't really expect him not to partake in other hobbies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Just hope this latest injury added to the one he suffered with Glasgow and the bad one with Workington doesnt stop him progressing as he was expected to do, he wouldnt be the first rider whose early potential didnt materialise due to picking up injuries.

False dawn Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Like all things we do in life, you have to weigh up the risks. Driving a car or crossing the street has a level of risk. If BMX (or motorcross or whatever) has a proven level of risk that is higher than say, working out in the gym or running, you have to accept that you're risking your income from your chosen profession. I want the lad to succeed. But putting yourself on the sideleines, when you're already under threat of being dropped seems to be a risk too far.

Mr. Clemens Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 He could have walked down the street tripped over a loose paving stone and broken his leg He could have done a hundred things, injured himself and never got near a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he has to stay indoors with a house full of cotton wool.Poor lad if manages to swallow a mouthful.The lad is only doing things almost everyone wants to do,and that is to have fun in life.That includes all sportsmen.

I would dispute that remark , Speedway in Poland is not semi professional If you are good enough to get to the top.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think the Aces should keep the same seven next year.. None of them have increased their averages, but then again, none decreased them either.. Overall then, for me, it was a fair effort...

Dale Allitt seemed to suggest that has been put forward.So hopefully all teams will do it.King's Lynn certainly want to keep the same 7,and wasn't it Sheffield or maybe Ipswich that said the same.

I suppose it will depend on how many want to ride.. If some get 'decent' jobs then maybe they would be reluctant to be paying out tens of thousands going forward should this thing not go away, and have far more job security.. As basically they are at the whim of a Govt edict which could come at any time. Team building also must be impacted by flights being subject to getting pulled at any moment. eg. Would riders accept being stranded 1000's of miles away from home without any chance to earn money? Lots of questions need to be asked, and answered, going forward.

Good point.. Went through WW2 so it could quite possibly be.. I think the Colts will ride though, and it wouldn't surprise me to see an individual event.. And I am sure the SON will be given every opportunity to take place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
