Oh good,real fightin

Andy Lee gets a number of mentions - dad of speedway rider Michael Lee IIRC.

Martyna poszła won!

Bickers was my hero as a child i never got to see him live i did see vic eastwood Arther browing,lamkin and a few more at Bamber bridge. i loved watching grandstand, scranbling, speedway rallly cross etc

All finishers should have been awarded medals as big as frying pans for chucking those old Brit bikes about with 4" of suspension travel. Not only that...they did it wearing royal air force war surplus flying goggles and helmets more suitable for use if you were employed as the human cannonball at the circus along with welders gauntlets for gloves.

Saturday afternoons watching Grandstand for the scrambles was my TV highlight of week. I had a 50cc Gillera stripped to the bone for the pitheaps. I lived on that bike from sun up to sunset and dreamed one day I'd have a bike like these bikes. I did eventually and still have.

I used to watch scrambling on grandstand at my grandmas! I was fascinated by the Greeves bikes, and later raced a Qub griffon along with several friends from Holmfirth!

As a kid in the 60's I used to watch this most Saturdays .Those names are so familiar ☺

Dirty riding by Vickers Jeff Smith looked pissed.

Fond memories of watching this as a boy when sports was so varied on a Saturday not like the rubbish now .

That's so cool!

Welche MX Strecke war das ?

I've never been a motorcyclist but as a young man I never missed this on Saturday afternoons, loved it. Big pity we don't get on TV now instead of the garbage they shove out. I might even buy a TV licence if they did.

Those 490s sure have a sound of their own

According to Frank Melling in his article "'The $40 Million Motocrosser:' " To appreciate this story, the reader must understand that at one time, spectators used to cheer Chris Horsfield riding a CZ, simply because he broke up the monotony of the factory BSAs filling the first six places in an international motocross; the Birmingham factory's grip really was that tight." 'Memorable Motorcyles: BSA Titanium.' 1/3/2006.

My this brings back memories if it rained badly on Saturday cancelling football etc the world of sport turned to all kinds of scrambler racing bikes and cars usually in the mud!it was a real treat

Watch Vic Eastwood flip it down the straight at 5:30

I used to love watching this, especially enjoying the deep rumble of the four stroke engines and the spectacular race action. This features two of my favourite riders and I remember so many of the names even though I was well under 10 years old at the time.

as a kid of 5-6 years old I lived for grandstand Saturday afternoons, scrambles, bickers and Co with Murry Walker doing the commentary, RIP Murry, motorcycle empitness (manics) and the F1 tune by fleetwood mac are his top 2 favourite songs

....gee...they are not slow at all.

When I was a teenager I lived between Hadleigh Essex and the Greeves factory in Thundersley and spent a lot of time at scramble meetings in Essex/Suffolk area spoilt for choice in those days with the Rayleigh rockets speedway track also close by there was always a bike “fix” to be had Hadleigh was a regular grandstand featured circuit This was a great time in motorcycle sport before the gods of money and commercial enterprise sanitised it

I would love to to this race when the conditions were just right....on one of them old Husky's.

I knew Dave Bickers would be in this even before clicking. Shows my age.

Where was Arthur Lampkin?

Un lucky vick , regards your distant family friend Dennis Tyler junior 😀

When Scrambling was Scrambling,far,far better than todays motocross....Such great memories..!!!!

Golden age of BBC Grandstand.

Three Legend's of racing Dave Bickers Jeff Smith Murray Walker

R.I.P. Murray Walker, outstanding man & sports commentator. 13/3/21.

Just heard the news of Murray Walker’s passing at age 97 but motorcycling was always his passion and commentating in these BBC Grandstand winter Scrambles is a memory I’ll always remember RIP Murray you were and still are a legend.

RIP Murray Walker

Anybody know the year??

I'm sure this was in Queens Park in Castleford, Can anyone confirm this ?

When I was a kid, the first time I heard the name of the legend that is big Arthur Browning, was on Grandstand. When I found out he was from the same part of Birmingham, I was chuffed. When he rode speedway for the Brummies, I was double chuffed! Don't ask about the Milk Tray advert! What a guy.

great footage,even better race,great to see.

Plenty power suspension looks good as well ...not much different than today

2 strokes where always well quick....

I remember the 1st enduro I was taken to I think it was 85/86 2 day Welsh I was in heaven...I'm stood at a clearing in the forest at the top of the hill everyone struggling until I see a white husky flying up the hill flashes past me after lifting my jaw off the floor I say who was that!!! In unison the 3 blokes go Geraint Jones just amazing rider real class...back then enduro was lucky if it got part of a page in Motorcross,trials news, remember that paper...I also remember Geraint or someone to do with him had a massive rottweiler...there was also a couple of women doing it one had a big wheeled CR80 skilled rider and good looking me being a hormonal teen it was a GRT weekend...

Seriously brave men..... They must ave ad arms like bloody tree trunks lol!!

It is cool to watch this with an actual sound track,excellent !

Awesome days never to be repeated. So glad i lived through them as a little boy. John Done, even took me with him to Hawkstone park.

My dad used cr125 for enduro,he won best sportsman 7 times,and a few 2nd places,,but sadly that was years ago,all the winner won was his fuel home,,

Back when men were men........and they where also the suspension.

What a fab video, although I'm a bit young to actually remember this I'd have loved it on a Saturday afternoon. I was lucky enough to have raced back in the 70's in my teens. I wasn't very good but enjoyed it tremendously. I started on a twin shock KX125, swapped that for a CCM 580 then swapped to my favourite bike, my ex works FB AJS 360. Happy, happy days.

I remember jumping up and down with excitement when I knew the scrambling was coming on when I was around five or six years old. Ahhhh can still smell the Castrol R.

Takes me back to watching this with my Dad and Grandad on a Saturday afternoon, this is what got me into motorcycling.

What a great race from Two legends of the sport🏁🏁🇬🇧🌈

Makes my L3sore ,from my Elsinore,just watching, memories.

It's really great to see these old films! Very early 70's I raced a 380 Greeves in the USA. Lots of grunt from that engine and very few people had ever heard of a Greeves. I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff Smith at Corduroy in Canada and competing with him.
