How and why did it fall apart?

@@DiegoRuiz1991 Probably be the fact that nobody really has to turn up the events to see them, and just wait until it comes up on KZread somewhere, and see it for free, even if it's 80 years later!! 🤣

Cos mainstream broadcasters like BBC preferred poncy stuff like golf n tennis
Incredible footage
1933 rok a jakość transmisji i komentarza lepsza niż w TVP SPORT w 2014 roku :/
Brilliant history, thanks for sharing
When chaps wore their hats at jaunty angles, outrageous
Fantastic footage & great racing
Over 80yrs ago but the handlebars and style of riding surprisingly similar to 2015

Not that similar... The handlebars in old motorbikes (and old speedway too) were curved backwards like bicycles
Not a Douglas or Rudge in sight, what a difference 3 or4 years had made! Interesting mention of the changed start procedure, I am not sure if just the gate was new or the clutch (as opposed to rolling) start itself. Thank you very much for posting!
Deep track and quite a lot of leg-trailing. Thanks for posting.

When did leg-trailing start dying out?
English Team flying The Union Flag! Nothing changes!
Great film...of course, the Aussies should have won, you Poms must have cheated!😋 Reminds me of that great English movie, Once a Jolly Swagman....about pre and post war London speedway. Dirk Bogarde and Sid James were in it.
J. A. Prestwich engines?
Kiedyś nie przebierali w słowach jak dzisiejsi zawodnicy czy komisarze torów , że tor nie nadaje się do jazdy ,zle przygotowany itp: :) .
