Ice Speedway I European Championship 2024 Saturday I 3 Crashes

[@johngaller278]

You were showing great skill there.. The crashes were unfortunate. Before that business it was all you! I love this form of Speedway. There is virtually none of it in the States.

[@heikkihuusko]

It was just not my weekend! Yeah this is mostly European sport, but I would think this could have potential in the States as well🤔

[@ohwell2790]

Speed way on ice. That has got to be the coolest motor sport on earth.🙂

[@heikkihuusko]

Haha very true👊🏻

[@fritjofrocker5047]

ive seen it live once, they are sooo fn fast! its a special kind of madness

[@heikkihuusko]

@@fritjofrocker5047 best on live for sure!

Byłem na tych zawodach . To niesamowity sport , na żywo jeszcze bardziej ekscytujący .Heikki zawodnik z dużym potencjałem. Trochę pechowe zawody , niepotrzebne 2 upadki i według mnie niesłuszne wykluczenie w niedzielę , było ciasno no i 1 łuk , a tak podium mogło być w zasięgu . Powodzenia w mistrzostwach świata!

[@heikkihuusko]

Yeah it was unlucky, but hopefully Inzell will be much better 👊🏻

[@packhams4]

A very sound and reliable choice!

[@tommccallan8802]

Was introduced to this in the movie On Any Sunday..and like Bruce Brown said.."getting ran over is like getting ran over wit a buzz saw..

[@heikkihuusko]

Better to stay up!

[@Lee-mx5li]

Wow!! However the next level up, The Pros, are much much faster and really lay the bikes over!! A true must see!

[@1sir-onworld]

🐝🏁 Video 👍

[@paulmetheny2126]

Heikki I think your #3. If so, Great WorK on that bike!!!! It still looks crazy fast to me😮.

[@heikkihuusko]

Yeah I was #3 on that race

[@bailsong658]

This the sport I never know I loved.

[@heikkihuusko]

Welcome to follow the journey 👊🏻

[@Mike40M]

One thing when smooth ice, but after a couple of heats. Uneven and track covered with flakes. Remember watching when Svab became World champion in 1970.

[@heikkihuusko]

Yeah rutted track makes it interesting!

[@packhams4]

Crazy stuff!!! What type/size of engines are you using?

[@heikkihuusko]

It is 4 stroke engine, 2 valves, air cooled and 500cc! It burns methanol🙂

[@packhams4]

@@heikkihuuskoAha, thanks. So a GM or Jawa/ESO, or some homegrown engine?

[@heikkihuusko]

Engines are mostly Jawa based. Some might use billet heads for example, but mostly based to Jawa 886.

[@liamhotspur9182]

This is in Czech Republic?

[@heikkihuusko]

This race was in Sanok, Poland.

[@paulmatthews7193]

Crazy but they definitely deserve respect 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@heikkihuusko]

It is tough sport!😁

[@johnmartin2079]

That is some weird and dangerous looking racing

[@heikkihuusko]

Very true 😂

[@paulg492]

Looks like the bikes are well conne ted to the surface and not sliding? Am i seeing it incorrectly?

[@JA3bONE]

I think they have spikes /studs in the tires.

[@paulg492]

@@JA3bONE the machines definitely have hardware attached to the tires. I was wondering if these ice speedway bikes mimic flatrack bikes? Such as sliding into a corner and powering out of a corner sideways?

[@heikkihuusko]

We have approximately 300 spikes per tyre set. Spikes are 28mm long so they provide incredible traction. Normally you have 100% grip without sliding at all. But when you lose the traction, then you usually fly 😁

[@gazwit1603]

Supermoto hold my beer

[@natasdaisy]

Sounds like 450cc?

[@heikkihuusko]

500cc methanol engines!

[@TheHauttis]

Komeesti meni .vaikka varmaan haasteellista lopuksi eri pyörällä ajaa😅

[@heikkihuusko]

Se on aina vaikeata, mutta mukava oli ajaa 2 pistettä plakkariin sillä!

[@andrejdebrov110]

In den Jahren 1980 bis 1990 waren viele Teilnehmer und Zuschauer interessanter.
