Buxton Ride and Skid it Speedway Experience 

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You should still think about doing it- there's no pressure to go fast or fall off.

andrew pollard Thanks. It was a hard but fantastic day.

It's difficult to get your head round having no brakes and deliberately getting the back end sliding.

Denny Mcfastlane Because you are trying to slide the bike around the cones. Slow up to the cone, then accelerate round. As you go round the cone nearest the fence and face away from the fence you have the full width of the track in front of you to fall off in. If you did it your way, you would have less than half the width of the track. Plus you would have been going against the operating direction of the track on the way back. Anyway, what do I know, I'm not a professional who rides and teaches day in day out. Book yourself on a day with the guys and you'll be able ask them yourself.

The instructor is former 1982 world number 2 les Collins

It was difficult to get out of road riding habits, especially as you got more tired through the day.

@@LordBilious I know, I had the opposite when I got my first road bike, going round left hands was easy but right handers was a nightmare. 😂😂😂

Thank you. The guys there are brilliant. You're never too old to have a go at things. They also do a flat-track experience- I have a vlog on that, too.

It's a completely different style of riding to what I'm used to. I didn't think I did too bad for my first ever try of speedway. I dare say if I did it a lot, it would be easier. I must go back and do it again sometime.

@@seanadamson280 thank you👍

Yeah, a lot of fun. They do grasstrack bikes as well.

It's great fun. I woke up the next morning aching ;) .

They do dirt bikes now as well. I will be going back to try them when I can.

It was hard, but fun too.

Do it! It was great fun, I will go back there again sometime.

We're sorting out booking at the moment i cant wait :)

Marc Pellerin This school is in the UK, not far from Manchester. It was a good day, well worth doing.

I can't remember now, I did this a few years ago--well worth the money. Look for Buxton Ride and Skid it on Facebook or Google their website.

It's £95 for a session this year

Kyran Lyden There was a kill switch somewhere- I remember it being mentioned in the briefing. They were only small cc bikes and non of us went fast enough to warrant a safety cord- I didn't leave the bike when I fell off.

Lord Bilious I understand that they were only small cc bikes maybe 90cc but what if throttle got stuck or something went wrong with the bike and you had to immediately stop it. I'm just speaking from seeing things happen on track.

Kyran Lyden It's a different environment to an actual race. This was filmed over a year ago, so I can't remember details. The guys who run the experience would be the best ones to answer your questions, there are a couple of links in the vlog description.

Okay I didn't mean a race I meant just in general but I was just thinking of safety and that so.

Kyran Lyden Always important to think of safety. I had no concern about how the day was run.👍
