This video has by far the most comprehensive coverage of the Hawkstone Hill I've yet to find. It's been 56 years since I stood up at the top watching the British GP and it left an impression for sure.
How wonderful Rod to have those great memories which are locked into you,i can relate to your comment i was very fortunate as young boy my father took me to what was once a big date on the motocross calendar the Hants Grand national (Matchams Park) although a few years on from your great day at Hawkstone, i to re live those wonderful moments and the reason i love this sport so much, all the best Rod.
Normally I'd say "Lets hear the bikes! but in this instance Apache fits perfectly & gave me chills a couple of times! Oh for a time machine & to get away from this crappy era for good!
Men could dig holes with a Bulldog shovel in them days. They could teach them young whipper snappers a thing or two. Brilliant video Thank you for putting it on
1956, the year I was born. I went to the British Grand Prix back in 1977 at Farleigh castle. I was stationed in Great Britain for 16 years when I was in the US Air Force.
Music by the Shadows, my fave in the 60s. It`s called Apache and that`s Hank Marvin on lead guitar playing as only he could. The scrambling is good too, who won?
Back when the bikes were only half of the equation. It took a strong, skilled rider to handle that terrain - totally without a foot of suspension travel and 75 horsepower...and absolutely no triple jumps with pyrotechnics.
At 4.05 there's a bike racing with its headlight in place. That probably means he rode it to the meeting. No Winnebago camper vans in the olden days; just iron-hard riders.
Some of it is but there is another track spliced in there the soil is the wrong colour for Hawkstone. I only live 10 minutes from the track and know the area pretty well.
I think the track with the stream was in Builth Wells (Kidston scramble) They held a few TV scrambles in the 1960's my father took me there when my brother was riding.
Vous vous rendez compte que c'est un film muet? en 1956, nous n'avions pas de caméras vidéo. Si je n'ajoutais pas la musique, vous auriez juste le son du projecteur.

I rode Hawkstone once. The top of that hill is steep!
I sure like these older true grit videos. Thanks.

I know it's in colour but your asking a lot for sound as well in the 50s

Well done with the editing and the music is perfect. BRAAAP!!
Wonderful dry winter's day the smell of castrol R, waiting for your favourite rider to come around the track !
There’s some heavy old iron there, I bet you knew it when you’d ridden it round there a few times ! 👍🏻🇬🇧
I enjoyed that, could easily have watched more.

I wish my Triumph could take this much abuse. Those races look so thrilling
For several years around 1968-70 the US National Enduro Champion rode a 500cc Triumph twin. Incredibly capable bikes under the right rider.

It's Hawkstone park in Shropshire
Yes some of it but it looks like there is another track in the footage cus hawkstone doesn’t have a stream
Yes it's all Hawkstone Park sorry for the spelling mistake

There are two different tracks on this video,Hawkstone park being one and the other escape’s me ?
There's no stream in Hawkstone Park. I think it's Builth Wells (Kidston Scramble) they held a few TV meetings there in the 1960's.
Back when Regular gasoline actually burned.
🇧🇷👍🤠
I'm not sure about the surfing music
This is fantastic. Do you know what the song is?
+Jacob Kiehn I think the song is Apache by The Shadows.

@@kevinm000009 Correct, did my first race at that Venue, came second to last, was bloody knackered!!
@@Machi74005 Yes I got the Shadows up on Utube at the O2 Arena live from 2009. Could be their last tour
C'est dommage a mourir 'cest du sabotage !!la musique a l'arrière gache tout le plaisir d'écouter le son de c'est bécane de l'époque
