The Rules of Speedway - EXPLAINED! 

I respectfully disagree. They're both different disciplines requiring different skills to be good at. I can ride a bike, but I know I couldn't do either sport very well. They're different animals bro.

Ninh Ly Do the rules of the Isle of Man TT next

@@NinhLyUK where abouts do you live

I live in Lancashire.

Yeah, possibly.

Kinda doesn't work like Mario Kart, but these bikes do accelerate out of the corners like stink.

@@NinhLyUK can u please make a new with boosts edited in?

They added Mario Kart's boost feature in Formula E.

Yes I believe so. The Polish are really good at this and I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me that this is their national sport.

@@NinhLyUK It is the most popular sport in terms of stadium attendances (except national teams) and the Polish League is considered the wealthiest and best in the world. But I wouldn't say it is the national sport, in terms of popularity among society I'd say that football, volleyball, athletics and ski jumping (yep) are more popular. It doesn't help that Warsaw doesn't have its team and this sport is absent in some other areas. In Europe the motorcycle speedway is popular also in Great Britain, some parts of Scandinavia, to a lesser extent also in some areas of Germany, Czech Rep., Russia, Latvia, and the teams are present also in a few other countries. There are also international competitions, in particular, the Speedway World Cup, Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway European Championship. Speedway is also present in the US and there are some good riders from there. One particularity is that because there is no major international club competition like champions league, many riders start in 2-3 pro leagues, so for ex. one day they are in UK, another in Sweeden, and yet another in Poland :D Anyway, I was surprised you made this video!

That's awesome man, would have loved to have been there!

Cool thing is that lot's of American speedway riders, who are practically unknown in the States, are very well known in Europe. You mentioned Penhall, and I'll add three other world champions: Sam Ermolenko, Billy Hamill and the evergreen four time champion Greg Hancock! Hancock has been around for 30 years now, and won the first of his four titles in 1997, and the last in 2016 at age of 46! An absolute legend. Now, all these Americans are all from California, so I assume there must be some kind of speedyway culture over there.

Apparently so. Australia seem to be pretty good at this sport.

We have sidecar speedway too as well as grasstrack. We're nowhere near as good as the Aussies though 😂

Thanks James, much appreciated. I honestly thought it was one of the easier sports to learn, understand and explain. I used to live in East Manchester, so my local club would be Belle Vue. Even though I now live 30 miles away, it's still the closest one.

Wolverhampton Wolves for life

Cool, thanks bro. Glad you like this video useful. Check out my channel for more like this! :)

Yeah you're right. Now it's the domain of BT Sports and Sky. Same as ice hockey, which is a shame because sports like these need coverage on free-to-air so people actually get exposed to them. Any time!

Thanks man, I very much appreciate your comments. I've come up with a script for that one and a whole bunch of other sports - it's just finding time to make them all!

Do NHRA Drag Racing!!

Thanks.

lmaooo

Cool, thanks! Glad you approve of this video. Be sure to share this video and check out my channel for more like this :)

Yeah it's a fun sport. And it's actually surprisingly popular in the UK. You just never hear about it in the media, which is a shame really. Thanks for stopping by.

No problem Ninh!

Basically yeah. I'll make a video if I get enough demand for sure.

Yeah, it's surprisingly popular, but there's no real coverage of it in the media.

Thanks man.

Poole definitely have a chance. But I think King's Lynn are really running well this season. They'll be tough to beat.

I couldn’t agree more. It will be a final between Kings Lynn vs Poole but Belle Vue could do well.

I can agree with that. As much as I'd love Belle Vue to win it all, I'm certain they're going to fall short of the final this year.

Basically, yes! And I didn't realise robotic sports existed? You mean like Robot Wars?

@@NinhLyUK Well, mainly the FIRST Robotics Competition and the VEX robotics competition. They don't destroy eachother, they just try and get more points than the other.

Ah okay, gotcha.

Thanks bro.

Yeah, this is actually contested all over the world. But very few countries actually do it professionally.

It's faster to slide on dirt. Even if they had brakes they would be pointless.

Whilst not obligatory, it's the fastest way to go around the dirt track.

Yep, Lukas is correct.

Maybe if enough demand, but I don't see it.

I second the motion for a Capoeira video. Just found your channel yesterday. Love the content! I'm far from any kind of athlete, but I enjoy learning about this sort of thing.

@@picaweltschmerz6357 If it's my channel you found, thanks! Really, Capoeira must be placed in one of Ninh's 'the rules of' series...

Thanks bro, much appreciated! Check out my channel for more like this! :)

Thanks Mick, much appreciated!

I'll be back at ya' on the next vid, you see!

Cool!

I bet that was crazy!

Wait no you've already done polo

I'll certainly consider it if I get enough demand. As for Polo, I already did that one. Cheers!

I really love your stuff ay. I've been taking exchange students to swedish ice hockey games and I make them all watch your video before they go

That's cool, I'm glad you like my videos enough to share!

Belle Vue is very nice - it's the nearest club to me. I'll certainly consider it.

Ninh Ly I’m sorry I mean greyhound racing I feel it is very interesting

I went to Aintree for the Grand National to record there. But they wouldn't let me in with all my recording equipment.

Kind of.

Exactly. You can't turn these bikes left. It would hurt 😂

cars reference?

Thanks man. I'm not sure about Broomball. I've seen it once or twice and people have suggested it to me, but that's about it.

I think if you get a chance, try it. It's a lot harder than it looks. I must admit Nikko, I used to ride but came off my bike too many times and developed 'the fear'. Never been on one since.

Believe it or not, I actually knew that!

You're absolutely right. Need more views and subs to drive these videos higher up the search rankings. Thanks bro, I appreciate the comments.

It's pretty much contested the same way ... I think, anyway?

Depends on the organisation running the races, but I think if most of the riders get taken out, then yes the heat is redone.

Usually this only occurs directly after the start of the race or “heat” when the four riders get to the first corner. It is the referees decision to allow all four riders back because of “first bend bunching”. Only very occasionally will a rider be excluded for causing the race to be stopped. After the riders manage to get around the first bend cleanly, if there is a crash (singular or a multi rider crash) then the referee has to decide who was to blame for the crash and that rider will be excluded from the re-run. These are pretty standard rules now.

It happened today between Belle Vue and Ipswich, rider who caused crash ejected from the heat and a re run was down with three riders

@@jswaggart01 "First bend bunching" isn't even in the rulebook; it's just a side effect of the discretionary nature of the rule that says the referee must exclude who is the "primary cause of the stoppage" in their judgement when the referee cannot find a primary cause

It's fun once you understand how broadsliding works. Fascinating art and a science!

I'll consider it.

Ninh Ly great video ninh as always

Thanks bro, appreciate it!

Thanks bro. Eastbourne ... they're a National League side, right?

Yeah they used to be in the top league but we haven't done so well, they were elite league champions back in 2000, I live just over a mile away from their stadium in Arlington.

That's cool. If I lived that close to a speedway track, I'd certainly go down and watch.

I do go there to watch a few races each season i also watch some of the stock car races as well. Arlington stadium is the longest serving stock car track in the UK

It certainly is!

Yes I saw that. I pretty much predicted it'd be between Poole and King's Lynn. Belle Vue predictably fell short of the mark ... again.

As in Surfing?

No skateboarding like skateboarding in the streets like a race.and are you going to get spyro remake?

Pretty much, yeah.

They just drift the bike to slow it down and then cut the engine.

Pull the clutch in which disengages the engine then the bike will begin to slow I have seen people dig there right footrest into the ground to stop them as well.

Cool.

As mentioned in the video - for a team competition it's 15 heats, for individual - it depends on a competition. And thanks!

@@NinhLyUK ok thanks i missed it maybe.. good luck i love your work

No worries bro! Thanks again for your kind comments :)

There are also Test Matches which are team competitions between two countries. 6 riders plus a reserve on both teams usually contested over 18 heats, each pair of riders race in 6 separate heat races. Individual meetings like national championships and world championships are always 20 heats involving 16 riders plus 1 or 2 reserves. Each rider races in 5 separate heat races.

You mean this one? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RRoJt99uVss.html

Thanks man.

You already asked for that in another video.

Wolves are a good team. I really liked Freddie Lindgren. I doubt Wolves will be winning the Premiership this year though.

@@NinhLyUK Yeah I doubt it. My mate is a big Speedway fan and I think she was at the final when Wolves won the Premiership in 2016.

That would have been pretty sweet to see.

If I get enough demand, yeah.

I believe it's called quite a lot of things in the US, but yes that name sounds familiar.

I see the similarities but they're also very different, for a start, flat track usually has much larger grids, the bikes are COMPLETELY different, tracks are shorter and not made from shale, and the race rules are completely different

As in a form of billiards?

That's what I repeatedly said!

I can believe that.

Put money on him to win it before the gp started

HE won the Championship 2013, 2015, 2018.

Go Aces!

Didn't you already ask for that in another video?

No ninh brother

Cut the engine, let gravity and friction and you power sliding it stop the bike. Easy.

Ninh Ly thank you Sir and I have a folder of your videos on my PC the tutorials are simple and entertaining

Thanks.

If you need to stop to avoid a fallen rider, you put the bike into a slide and allow the bike to basically fall on top of you so that you are sliding on the dirt on your ass. Hard to do on the straights but it is a requirement to getting your license that you can perform this manoeuvre, which you are normally trying to avoid doing. Also the engines are very high compression and the moment you release the throttle, the bike begins to slow down very quickly.

If I get enough demand, for sure!

So does that mean if I continuously ask? Would that be enough demand? LOL! I'm only kidding.

I don't think that counts, but duly noted.

Kind of.

Wiffleball - if I get enough demand. F1 - run into some copyright issues.

I don't think it was that bad. I've used worse tracks on my videos.

Thanks.

Just in case you forget the rules.

It really doesn't.

Yes.

Basically ... yes. It's pretty 3 dimensional and once you start watching races, you can see why. Thanks bro.

@@NinhLyUK no problem

Brakes are near useless on dirt so there's no point having them on. It'd probably cause more accidents having them on. These guys are experienced riders and they know how to handle a bike to a stop without brakes.

@@NinhLyUK Fair enough.

It’s more dangerous to have brakes as it stops people brake checking, there’s a sort of etiquette about staying in the same kind of lane so it lessens the risk

I believe the levels are fine, voice is -6db, music is -18-22db, which is generally the standard. I've had no other complaints apart from you. I'll certainly consider toning down the music, but the levels are fine on my speakers and headphones.

Thanks a lot!! Great channel :) :)

I could hear everything he said just fine and with the same quality as a good TV show. Not to sound like a jerk, but I think the problem is on your end.

Thanks for defending me bro. The only other thing I can do is raise the treble on my voice to cut through the music, but you'd start hearing high pitched whistles. I'll probably tweak it a little bit just to see.

Any time.

If I get enough demand, for sure.

Well spotted! Thanks bro.

Believe it or not, Poland is actually very good at Speedway!

@@NinhLyUK Well nowadays speedway is pretty much dominated by a poles so..

I can believe that.

I actually liked that film. I know it was a little corny and unrealistic, but pretty good.
