Speedway – The Art of Flat Track

Bikes

If you haven’t tasted the joys of flat track motorcycle racing, check this video out.

There’s a simple purity to the short oval that is evoked nicely by the hi-def slow-mo images presented here from a recent champs in Spain.

You can really see here how the body is wholly engaged in the delicate art of steering right while turning left.

Add a noisy indoor context and some highly skilled pilots and you’ve got a truly accessible motorsport.

Thanks to our Mucker Gary Inman at Sideburn for the heads up.
