Start Tarts!


Recommended Posts

Start Tarts...you know the one's, if they gate they are million dollars and win by the length of the straight, but if they come out of the second bend third or fourth they poodle around at the back looking down at their bikes! Had some good one's over the years haven't we.

Sorry said before  IMO anyone who rides a s/way bike is not a tart ,just to be able to ride and control  one of these machines in the confines of a track with three other riders   takes huge amount of courage plus a  great deal of skill .

Make no  mistake I think BZ( his opponents   are fortunate that he's not the best of gaters) is the greatest rider to put a leg over a bike but I can still admire the the skill /ability of other riders ,as Mauger I believe said "gating " makes the job so much easier .

Are you wanting people to name them?

Past: Gert Handberg & Jarek Hampel Present: Nikolai Klindt.  Can think of many more of course but it all depends at what stage of their career as well.

It'd be a shorter topic to name the ones that weren't 🤔

Back in the day if you put your leg over the bike it meant you were pretty much gaurenteed to put your leg over the other meaning 😂
