Looks like he's doing one every week if you check his channel out... it's exhausting just watching it, cant help but think he could do without the wasted trips to Poland though. DT comes across really well, something that just hasn't been transmitted by any other medium before, who only seems to be interested in if he's going to make any changes or what the track is like, the guy actually has a personality! Who knew π€·ββοΈ

I blame Mr Jack Daniel π₯

A shareholder in what though? As I said only Mark Lemon stated with companies house. Only 1 person named Paul Hunsdon named as a current director and shareholder of a company in the UK and that has a load of charges against it. Don't know if it's the same person though.

I honestly don't think it would have been over the top, the whole incident doesn't get any better the more you watch it. I think the difference with the likes of Nicki P's antics etc is his moves were more offensive, on the bends where there is air bag protection and I think are more accepted as part and parcel of the sport when they go wrong. Rushen's move was entirely defensive, on the straight and he even looked twice to make sure Harrison wasn't getting past and his reward 7 rides on the night and a bumper pay packet... where's the message to say that's not acceptable and don't do it again. He'd probably have been thrown in Poland for that, we have the rule in the book to do it and to my knowledge has never been used, but then it needs a competent ref to actually make that call.

Yes, thanks for the correction, I've got my stats wrong, apologies, not intentional ππ»

People like "me" completely ruining your sport π stop being so melodramatic π. I'd say the lack of opportunities, this year more than ever thanks to the BSPL, for young Speedway riders is doing more than me to ruin "our" sport! I want nothing more than to hand over Β£25 at as many Speedway meetings as possible... apologies for that. I grant you I've been let down by my statistics taken from another website so apologies for that, my bad and not intentional. But the fact remains, his bad days far outweighed his good days and his bottle had gone, that's okay, it happens and if and when it does speeding into a bend on a Speedway track alongside 3 other riders on a 500cc machine with no brakes is not the place to be, no shame in that, you move on to something you are comfortable with, which he has done and good luck to him.

When was his good day? The most he ever scored was 7... on his debut and he matched that in his penultimate match. Some on here went completely overboard hyping the lad up because he outgated and beat some established names through his short Speedway career Fri Aug 25th 2023 Oxford v Plymouth (CP) 7 3, 2, 1, 0, 1' 7 1 Tue Sep 5th 2023 Oxford v Scunthorpe (CP) 7 2, 1', 0, 2' 5 2 Fri Sep 8th 2023 Glasgow v Oxford (CP) 7 0, 1', 1', 0, T 2 2 Wed Sep 13th 2023 Oxford v Glasgow (CPPOB) 6 3, 0, 1', 0 4 1 Fri Sep 22nd 2023 Redcar v Oxford (CPPOB) 7 0, 0, 0 0 Sun Sep 24th 2023 Oxford v Redcar (CPPOB) 7 0, 1, 0, 0 1 Tue Oct 3rd 2023 Glasgow v Oxford (CPPOB) 7 1'~, 1, 0 2 1 Thu Mar 14th 2024 Oxford v Birmingham (PRa) 7 1', 1, 1, 0 3 1 Thu Mar 21st 2024 Oxford v Sheffield (PRa) 7 0, 0, 1, 0 1 Mon Apr 1st 2024 Birmingham v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 0, 1' 1 1 Thu Apr 11th 2024 Oxford v Ipswich (PRa) 7 0, 0, 0, 0 0 Thu Apr 18th 2024 Ipswich v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 3, 1 4 Thu Apr 25th 2024 Oxford v King's Lynn (PRa) 7 1, 0, 1, 1 3 Thu May 2nd 2024 Sheffield v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 0, 0 0 Mon May 13th 2024 Belle Vue v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 0, 1' 1 1 Thu May 23rd 2024 Oxford v Belle Vue (PRa) 7 3, 0, 1, 0 4 Mon May 27th 2024 Leicester v Oxford (PRa) 7 1', 0, 0 1 1 Mon Jun 3rd 2024 Oxford v Leicester (PRa) 7 3, 2, 1, 0 6 Thu Jun 13th 2024 Oxford v Ipswich (PRb) (Aban) 7 0, 0 0 Mon Jun 17th 2024 King's Lynn v Oxford (PRa) 7 0, 2, 0 2 Thu Jun 27th 2024 Ipswich v Oxford (PRb) 7 0, 1', 3, 0, 0 4 1 Mon Jul 1st 2024 Oxford v Sheffield (PRb) 7 0, 3, 1', 0, 0 4 1 Thu Jul 4th 2024 Oxford v Ipswich (PRb) 7 0, 0, 3, 3, 0 6 Mon Jul 8th 2024 Birmingham v Oxford (PRb) 7 0, 0, 0, 0 0 Thu Jul 18th 2024 Oxford v Belle Vue (PRb) 7 0, 0, 1 1 Mon Jul 22nd 2024 Belle Vue v Oxford (PRb) 6 2, 0, 0 2 Thu Jul 25th 2024 Sheffield v Oxford (PRb) 6 1', 1, 0, 0 2 1 Thu Aug 1st 2024 Oxford v Birmingham (PRb) 6 2, 0, 0, 1' 3 1 Thu Aug 15th 2024 Oxford v King's Lynn (PRb) 6 3, 1, X, 0 4 Mon Aug 19th 2024 Leicester v Oxford (PRb) 6 3, 0, 0, 0 3 Thu Aug 22nd 2024 King's Lynn v Oxford (PRb) 6 1, 0, 0, 1, 3 5 Thu Aug 29th 2024 Oxford v Leicester (PRb) 6 2, 0, 0, 1' 3 1 Fri Apr 4th 2025 Edinburgh v Glasgow (Ch) 2 0, 0 0 Fri Apr 11th 2025 Glasgow v Edinburgh (Ch) 2 T, 0, 3, 0 3 Sat Apr 19th 2025 Berwick v Glasgow (BSNSC) 2 0, 1', 1', 1 3 2 Fri Apr 25th 2025 Edinburgh v Glasgow (BSNSC) 2 3, 1', 2, 0 6 1 Sun May 4th 2025 Glasgow v Berwick (BSNSC) 2 0, 1, T, 0 1 Fri May 9th 2025 Glasgow v Edinburgh (BSNSC) 2 T, 0, 2, R 2 Sat May 10th 2025 Plymouth v Glasgow (CP) 2 0, 0, 3, 0 3 Fri May 16th 2025 Scunthorpe v Glasgow (CP) 2 3, 0, 3, 1 7 Fri May 30th 2025 Edinburgh v Glasgow (CPKO) 2 0, 0 0

It's all so typically British Speedway isn't it, companies house shows 1 shareholder, Mark Lemon, holding 1 share valued at Β£1... Then there's the 2 co-promoters Tony Gaul & Paul Hunsdon (previously named as a Director at Birmingham, as was David Rowe for a short period interestingly) seemingly with no limited liability... and we have people like Jan Staechmann saying things like "they're the ones we can talk about" on BSN. Why so cloak and dagger? What could possibly be worse than the CEO and team manager of another team being the sole shareholder of another club?
-
What about Northampton? Lemo stands to lose his Β£1 shareholdingπ
-
Is it strange that Mark Lemon is the sole shareholder of Northampton Speedway Ltd but is the team manager and CEO of Belle Vue... what a tangled web we weave... only in Speedway
-
I'm sure that can all be made up with setup changes and a bit of throttle, clutch control and body position... not to mention a tight set of tapes... I've seen Leon Madson do it in the GP's, look at the tapes and not the magnets. Why would you not, especially if you're next to known twitchers... Jason Doyle for example π
-
I'd have thrown him from the meeting and that's it.
-
Nice to see Sam Hagon amongst the points ππ»
-
I was half expecting the test card and dead tone to appear during that interview with Scott Nicholls π
-
2 nights on the trot Bomber has binned it... not very often you see that!
-
I think if a rider chooses to look across a rider next to him at the magnets in the starting mechanism and gets suckered in and touches the tapes that's the risk he runs instead of just looking at the tapes.

No Roynon, so far, on BSN this season
-
GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Mario Hausl, Leon Flint, Kevin Juhl Pedersen, Kyle Howarth, Sam Hagon, Freddy Hodder. PLYMOUTH: Danny King, Joe Thompson, Daniel Klima, Ben Barker, Scott Nicholls, Anze Grmek, Tom Spencer. Live on BSN

Have you seen the crash, I'm pretty sure it was on YouTube earlier as I watched it... doesn't seem to be there now though π€
-
There are age limits... he is a kid but he's be riding for a number of years now maybe not in such competitive races. Yes he does have to learn, but like I said it's Speedway 101 He should have been thrown out of the meeting... yet didn't even get excluded, bizarre!
-
About half of last weeks
-
Yes, but... I've never ridden a speedway bike but have seen enough to know that you don't left turn on riders down the straight, it's Speedway 101. It's an unwritten rule, maybe it needs to be written down... even then you can't rely on today's referees to enforce it π€·ββοΈ That move and the resulting crash could easily have left Harrison with life changing injuries!
