This is what it's like to ride Speedway GP (badly)

To the uninitiated, riding a Speedway GP bike doesn’t look that tricky. Yes, the professionals race at breakneck speed and seem to have an alarming disregard for unbroken bones, but the actual act of riding the bikes isn’t hard, surely?

So that must be Tony Briggs, son of Kiwi legend Barry Briggs ( Briggo) Ex 4 x World speedway champion. His speedway career was overshadowed by his dad, but some serious injuries forced his early retirement.

Good to see Tony Briggs there, remember him well from his Reading Racers days. Wonderful bloke

Am I the only one that nearly died of laughter when he came out with no steelshoe

Steel toe?? Do you mean " hot shoe"? That's what flat trackers use, it's made of like 1/16" metal or maybe a little thinner to fit around the front of your boot( custom made ) , it allows your boot to slip - glide over the track surface.

[@AllanMerritt-x5s]

I considered myself a skillfull rider until I had a ride a speedway bike and are completely different to a normal bike much respect to the brave who race them 🙈

They've got brakes, its just called something different its called the fence 🤣🤣🤣

They're not ridiculous, they're radical and put on spactacular racing shows. No, they shouldn't have 4 wheels, they should have the 2 they have. Your attempt to use hyperbole' is more offensive than effective. My fat sister went faster than that on her first lap.
