Ride at the Coliseum
Get on track
You don't have to wait for race night to get on the Coliseum track. We run two regular sessions for riders who want to have a go: Electric Nights for young riders on electric bikes, and My First Skid for anyone ready to try a speedway bike.
Youth electric event
Electric Nights
Come and join the fun with your little electric ripper. Electric Nights give young riders two hours on the Coliseum track, grouped on ability, so they're safe, fun and beginner friendly. And it's all under the floodlights.
It's a friendly, family night out. There's shelter and seating for the grown-ups, plus hot drinks, burgers and beer.

Speedway taster sessions
My First Skid
Ever wondered what it's like to ride a speedway bike? My First Skid sessions give you tuition and track time on fuel bikes on the Coliseum shale, in a safe, friendly environment.
Sessions are open to anyone who can balance on a bike, whether you've never ridden a speedway bike before or you're ready to practise. My First Skid provide bikes and equipment, from 90cc up to 500cc, and riders who already have their own kit are welcome too.
Sessions are run and booked through My First Skid. Find out more about My First Skid (opens in a new tab).
