YeOldPitGate Posted Wednesday at 01:58 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:58 PM Good interview with the old swearer, sticks some f-cks into the interviewer straight off the bat lol, can't fault his incredible grit and will to win , shame it looks like he will step away from the sport as he has a lot to give but equally is to smart to be risking his life's earnings on the sport at least in Britain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted Wednesday at 05:10 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:10 PM He's moving back to Aus isn't he? If he's interested he can get involved in the speedway scene down there like Darcy. I'm sure he'd be welcomed with open arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phannan Posted Wednesday at 07:02 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:02 PM A golden opportunity was wasted by not using Tai to appeal to potential future supporters, the younger generation. They can relate to him definitely. I took my daughters to Belle Vue to see Great Britain in the World Cup a few years ago and he immediately grabbed their attention . They’d never been before but he stood out a mile to them. They still ask about him now. I think he could have inspired younger newcomers to the sport. Whatever he does, he’ll succeed. Definitely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him (if you like that music) his tracks are half decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing the determination of some people, I do a lot of cruising and got talking to a fella who was the casino manager on ship, he was from Peru (late thirties) told me he was orphaned at six , lived on the streets for ten years, got a break working at a casino and ended up running one on Royal Caribean in between all this he was one of the worlds top surfers, and the next day like the old swearer he drops on me in the 3-4 months he has off he is one of the biggest DJ's in South America showed me these videos of him at massive footy stadiums. He looked like a mexican cartel boss but was awesome fella his life story would make a great film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardey Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago He's been critical of the set up in British Speedway, so cant really blame him. But he is someone who should be leading the commercial charge for our sport ( minus the swearing lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that he is his own man etc and granted Poland apart the sport is a shambles but equally he's earnt i'm guessing probably 5-10 mil out of the sport over his entire career so toning it down at least when young kids are around isn't to much to ask.
