The White Knight Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 (edited) Ivan Mauger - no contest. Peter Craven was my hero, but I never saw him ride. I became a Speedway fan in 1964. Sadly Peter had passed away by then. Edited October 23 by The White Knight Correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 I'll always fall back to the guy that made me love this game: Henka Gustafsson Close calls were: Mark Loram & Bo Brhel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler42 Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 I think for pure excitement. Peter Collins had it in bundles with his blasts around the outside. I always thought Mark Courtney had a very smooth natural style. Both completely different but both good to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 3 riders of the modern era that stand out are zmarzlik who rides like he is stretching his throttle cables but very tidy and smooth, sayfutinow who rides with his body very upright on the bike even at the start gate and bewley who you can tell he has a motox background because the way he rides the bottom of the fence like a berm in motox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJA Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 Henka Gustafsson for me. His balance on the bike was amazing. At the opposite end of the spectrum was Bo Petersen who was all legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My all-time favourite rider, but 'most stylish' might be a bit of a stretch, there was always a hint of unpredictability about his riding which is probably the antithesis of 'stylishness'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
