  • It's May 6th, 2011, a warm sunny day at Inland Motorcycle Speedway in San Bernardino, CA. Two motorcycle racing greats, from different motorcycle racing backgrounds, collide for an amazing display of talents from both.
    The teacher, semi-retired Billy Hamill, Speedway World Champion, gets to teach student, Sammy Halbert, AMA National #7, current leader in Grand National points, who, thanks to winning races is pointed towards another championship, how to ride a speedway bike.
    As you watch this short video, you will see a guy go from instant Second Division rider to competitive First Division rider in about three hours!
    Talented teacher, talented student equals results.
    Thanks to Joker Machine, Hagon Shocks, IMS, Shawn McConnell, Jason Bonsignore, Benny, Benny's Turtles, Billy Hamill, Geoff Arnold and Slammin Sammy Halbert. Also thanks to Neil Facchini for not blowing-up the new bike first time out. Very special thanks to MK for really bothering me at the wrong time, but I hope things worked-out. And a special heartfelt thank you to anyone that was there that didn't point and laugh at the Cameraman. He's a hard working man, oh, he is.
    Stay very closely tuned because we are creating an epic, cool, motorcycle-nut video that will mark a milestone in the brief but spectacular burst of brilliance that is Trick Video. This upcoming video is sponsored by Joker Machine and Hagon Shocks, co Produced by Geoff Arnold.
    If you subscribe to this channel, this stunning, never before imagined extravagnza of shoe-string budget geniusness will be delivered to your pesky Inbox for absolutely no monies, foreign or domestic.
    However, if you enter any of my work in a contest and it wins more than $599, send me that and keep the difference and the 1099.
    Cheers,
    Andy

    Really good to see the progression through the sessions from tentatively riding round to attacking the bends and getting the back round. Really enjoyed, will watch again.

    Impressive learning curve. I wonder how the Shawn McConnell poster and decals got posted right where the camera was aiming near the beginning of the video.

    If you can ride Mile Flat Track on the big twins at 140mph, draft then pass on the straights, you are super talented and fearless. Speedway is probably slower than what he is used to.

    Took my riders test right here at IMS after track was rutted out after Wens. night race here. Bruce Penhall and Gene Woods both told me I would wreck caused I had only been out to dry lake a few times. Did wreck 3 times but ref gave me one more shot where I grabbed a lot more throttle and did pass my test. Ha.
