    That looks absolutely hilarious. Wikipedia has more information, the sport has apparently been around for a long time!

    Sorry for dragging this thread up again, but I'd love to give it a lash.

    Anybody else like to give it a go? Is there an inner dirt ring at the track in crumlin?

    Eeerrrr ...They're using single speed and that to itself is useless :pac: they don't even have the balls to race on fixed, and you're calling MOI a chicken?

    2 metres pedalling, 5 metres sliding, 10 boxes of aspirin watching them and probably lots of mops trying to clean up after they've got sick all over the place from going around in tiny circles ...

    Speedway cycling is for Hamsters!!!!!

    no.

    but the actual track itself is in such shit order that on a wet day i'm sure it would be fine for speedway.

    Would the greyhound track be too big? ... of course, yes ... too big, you might actually manage to get some nice speed and that wouldn't be a useless discipline anymore.

    * you can attach a small 'blorg' puppet to replace the bunny and chase it instead.

    Or if he's competing, a picture of an Alp... or maybe a Toblerone would work...
