BrizHeathen 37 Posted September 26, 2005 Pioneer Park speedway hosted a Mick Poole training day yesterday (Saturday 24th September). The activities commenced at 10am with around a dozen junior (Under 16) riders taking their seats in a classroom environment where Mick talked to them about racing licences, the importance of having the correct safety gear, bike preparation, the need to gain a good education, fitness and warming up before riding. He then went on to talk about what can be achieved in the sport, the traveling, lifestyle, etc. Everyone then moved on to the pits area where Mick had a look at the machinery, giving a few little tips on bike setups on the way, the kids then got dressed ready for action. The first part of on track activities saw riders going out in pairs with Mick talking to each rider individually after a couple of laps. Then after a short break they progressed to starts and putting in a couple of fast laps. The benefits of Mick’s expert advice was clear to see with some tidy riding from plenty of the newer riders. It was a fantastic day for the youngsters and I could see that they clearly benefited from listening to the advice of a rider held in such high regard. Around mid afternoon the attention turned to a handful of senior riders with Mick giving one on one tuition. Thanks to Pioneer Park promoters Shelly and Rhino Ryan, Troy Dennis and Mick Poole for putting on such an enjoyable day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby Tuesday 0 Posted September 26, 2005 It's nice to see Mick passing on his expertise to the kids. Even if they all only take away one piece of information from the day, they will be well on there way. I can't think of a better person to teach them.
