GreyOwl Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I'm really sorry to hear this. And contrary to popular belief, I hate crashes on the track. Sheldon, your a good mate & I hope you come right soon bud.
gummibear Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Sorry to hear this.Sounds like your competion has been to a Sangoma
The Saint Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Yes this was a bad fall - it was on the North bank of the track so we could not really see what happened but some of the guys that were racing said he "switched" himself.The very next race in the illimination there was another crash when a rider rode straight into the back of the lead bunch however he walked away unscathed. Just some damaged pride I think and disappointment at being illiminated. Overall this was my first track meeting that I went to watch and I was very impressed. Best entertainment I have had in ages and it only cost me 5 bucks
GregO Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Aparently Sheldon glanced behind him at Jean Spies in the north side of the track. Sheldon then rode into Grenville's back wheel. I can tell you that Sheldon was in alot of pain. It seems that he dilsocated his shoulder and was due to go into theatre this afternoon. GregO2008-02-23 13:14:59
Guest Michelle Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Cruxie: Hopefully we're getting all our bad luck out of the way before next week!!!
GregO Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 The sad part is that Sheldon has been riding extremely well of late.
slowpoke Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 not good news at all. i don't know sheldon but please pass my best wishes to him - a dislocated shoulder is NOT nice at all.
shaunh Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Hey Sheldon ... Here's wishing you a speedy recovery!!!
Tumbleweed Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 oh no, sheldon. get better soon, dude. just got my track bike sorted, but methinks after this i be delaying my maiden track outing! cruxie, sorry to hear about your bad luck!
Tumbleweed Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 talking of bad crashes, someone bit it big time at groenies yesterday. at the bottom of the steep downhill by the fence. wearing m&b kitt. covered in blood. anyone know him or how he is?
Rocket Man Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Sheldon has been doing great work at Pilditch Velodrome with Wednesday night races. He has put together a program that develops skills in many types of track racing and includes events for beginners and schools level riders as well as some cool Keirin and other stuff for A and B cat. Unfortunately he doesn't get to ride his own events and was "elliminated" from the Keirin at HNP. I spoke to him last night and he said that he hoped to back up to speed for SA's. For riders who are not too clear on why track racing is such a rush even though there are quite a few minor crashes take a look at: http://www.laserm.co.za/temp/Can%20u%20keep%20up.wmv Please note that this is for private viewing only and there is copyright protection on the music.
