Grandpa raced the boards 100 years ago in the New York city area, he told stories about the murder drome in Newark which he said opened and closed in a season? and his favorite track in Brooklyn which he claimed was over 2 miles in length, thank you and Billy Lane and all the people doing this, it gives life to stories he told 60 years ago

[@Paios]

oh man I would LOVE to have seen (and possibly murdered as a spectator in) one of these races. 😍 This shit would have been so much crazier on rickety boards

[@youknoweverything7643]

The murder drome killed 6 ppl in one single crash and decapitated a child who had his head through the railing or something and when the bike ride the wall that was it and one rider was mangled so bad unrecognizable with splinters impaling the drivers size of bayonets and I think a spectator also got speared.

[@danw1955]

Friggin' epic race! These guys really have to work to keep these bikes running, never mind getting beat to a pulp with no suspension, and running a winning race! This is real motorcycle racing.😁👍👍🏍🏍

[@hondaxl250k0]

im an Indian guy my self but anything pre 1940 going 80+mph gives me a woody

[@raymondo162]

Is that right? What about the Honda xl125 ?? Does that give you a Pinochio nose, Indian man ??

[@johnstorrs4411]

No brakes, clutches no transmission, no fenders. The absence of a rear fender scares me most, you could get an instantaneous, unwanted sex change if you fell backward.

[@Errol.C-nz]

Or threw the rear tire

[@lalthazovakhawlhring2985]

😝😬😬😬

[@LordMekanicus]

Nice to see these old monsters back in action.

[@grindmoto9362]

Nice video looking forward to the upcoming race!

[@allenhanford]

Wonderful video. Really makes me happy.

[@steelhorsefarm]

[@jojomama4787]

[@krzysztofmarel3582]

Ale to piękne to jak powrót do przeszłości gdzie można poczuć i zobaczyć czym była jazda jak prowadziło się ówczesne motocykle poczuć zobaczyć i usłyszeć pracę silników i ocenić technologiczne zaawansowanie super brawa pozdrawiam❤

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Love the sounds

[@va.syndicate2ndam862]

Awesome race !

[@freiheitfur2takte354]

Wow, what a Race 👌👍Greetings from Germany

[@youknoweverything7643]

I have ran alot of races at new Smyrna in pro trucks and latemodels and these guys are nuts. They are doing about 100 mph

[@rossware3003]

The motorbike racing is beautiful ❤

[@joneuf]

this is race..love that

[@nurzrachit7133]

Bout the only thing even remotely similar are the motorized bicycle kits they sell now. Much different motors however but pretty much the same suspension... none. Can you imagine how exciting it was to be at the races back in the early days, like 1910-15 range. Not only did you not know if your favorite rider was going to be injured or killed, he might even drive into the Wall and kill several spectators. I watched a guy assemble a board track motorcycle here on KZbin, it was probably the most beautiful machine I have ever seen. No cables, no frills, big vtwin big tank and big balls on the rider. This is classic awesome.

[@chadhamann8315]

I just got back home today back to North Fort Myers from New Smyrna Beach speedway washing the sons of speed race yesterday. October 16th 2021.

[@Seeker887]

Great racing!

[@rdc327]

Awesome race!!

[@ChazmaniadevilBrinley2]

This is so cool

[@Guest-at-the-Asylum]

Bring back the boards!

[@yetanotherjohn]

No clutch, no breaks, no transmission... FIXIES! XD Kidding, this iron is fifty six times cooler than fixies.

[@anythingoldmechanical]

I would to see this action live!

hi, whats their bike?

[@loseyourlife4042]

Pure guts!💯🇺🇸💯🇺🇸💯🇺🇸

[@adrianmersk8585]

Gorgeous bikes!!

[@christopherwhite8045]

Nice...............................

[@gruntspy44]

Ebay jake! Im a fan

[@EbayJakeHarleyDeals]

yeaaaaaaaa... thanks man

[@johnbravo7542]

I like these bikes and this type of racing,but just curious as to the no brakes,and why?

[@raymondo162]

pose

[@turtlemotoR]

no brakes, no clutch, only a single gear ratio and a big balls...

[@jimcole6423]

Wheres the board track?

[@stevennault5447]

Only thing missing is the Board track...

[@mortenhansen3455]

LOL!! Exactly!

[@vajeye-nar6172]

1:56 How do you foul(?) a carburetor? Don't you mean sparkplug?

[@raymondo162]

Wankers innit??

[@914272]

Perhaps the intake is opening early, allowing exhaust to enter the carb at less than WO...

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

And should of been white tire not white tires and the back wheel needs to spin not back wheels

[@higamerXD]

these old ass engines dont run normal gas and gunk can get the ancient needles in the carb to stop working

[@stephenmwyatt2]

orig boardtrack had no throttle, only on-off ignition button , so when on, the throttle was wide open, to slow down, kill the ignition

[@buzzkanter]

stephenmwyatt2 not so sure that was the case as starting would be an issue.

[@stephenmwyatt2]

they all did a bump start, and flying start. check this if you want - Dude says it at 1:39

[@buzzkanter]

stephenmwyatt2 yes, that is me videotaping this AND commenting. I won the first heat on my 1915 Harley.

[@stephenmwyatt2]

yes, these are phony repro bikes that are made for style. The real deal is in Japan and other countries - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mna8dqGVm9WpY5Y

[@KJ-nw8ge]

Remind me of the same way Sprint cars start and stop.

[@EVILSPAWN1003]

They should have two,or three racers going clockwise and two or three anti clockwise. Now THAT would make for some nailbiting racing

[@54macdog]

There's gotta be a market for a modern road-going version.

[@Errol.C-nz]

That would be just bloody scary...for riders AND spectators

[@woodhonky3890]

coulda been a really cool vid without the narration. don't know about anybody else, but i can keep track of 3 bikes without help. just wanted to hear the bikes!

[@terryjp3050]

this is a BOLD suggestion i know. TURN THE SOUND OFF BOZO

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

@@terryjp3050 but he won't hear the bikes

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Boardtrack? You mean Bitumen track!

[@gpracer270]

Foul out a carburetor? haha , what?

[@hectorsalazar5584]

beautiful.... In the 70's and 80's my flatrack scooters had no brakes as well. the shoe, the gearbox, if you could downshift, and scrubbing off speed by zig zagging. were the way to try and slow down... would love to race or run one of these fine machines today.. a work of art...

I’m sorry, did you say foul out the carburetor?

[@victorylibrary9597]

Yes, that's why he's doing the voice-over...

[@dozer1642]

Victory Library you doubled down on dumb with that comment.

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

Man its cool to hear those bikes wind up after the yellow flag dropped and the freen went up. Imagine back in the day with 30 bikes out there and the riders not being concerned about breaking the bikes.

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

Lol. Although i see matt broke his bike . Lol

[@Paios]

this is absolutely crazy, picture this but on wooden planks and as steep as 45° 🤯🤯💀 wtf how did they used to race while sitting on balls of steel??

[@767dag]

👍

[@gianniludo]

great narration :)

[@michaelluciano7774]

No comments here, there's just too many comparisons here from now and then to actually make a comparison.

[@triariicat8448]

do these actually have brakes? lol

[@crad5476]

The way the dudes run at the beginning, shows they are true american lmao.

[@gerrittenberkdeboer7763]

No boards there.

[@jatinguleria5335]

Inko ko mare NS 200 hra de😂

[@luckyboyswwi]

that is the worst attempt at recording anything i have ever seen. impossible to watch.

[@RTK171]

The commentor sounds like Donald Trump

[@giofranzini950]

why is Trump doing the commentary? lol

[@katana258]

same boring race as 2016 n.s.b . where people walked out after all the delays and fails to start .. 1/2 the watchers this time word is out . save your $$$

[@whalesong999]

This is a motorsport that mostly the participants get a kick out of.

[@raymondo162]

This 'sport' is nothing more than a poseurs' playtime, and a hangout for drips who think that growing a beard gives credibility...……… imo………… just saying
