Fair weather rider
Maybe I have missed news updates and the like but can anyone tell me what happened to Sam Smith. He was an up and coming rider a couple of years ago and I seem to recall that he headed off overseas. But since than I have not heard mention of him. Does anyone know what has happened to him as I was hoping he was NZs next big hope.

Sams still around and is into drift cars, he got a bang on the head and is not allowed to his bike racing license for a period of timeOriginally Posted by Premature Accelerato

That time is up now but not sure if he's keen anymore understandably.

I often wondered the same thing as I came up against a young Sam Smith on the track when racing a few years ago and honestly thought he had the potential to be our next Aaron Slight. Shame it went wrong and he lost the passion - if that is the case...
"...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

Yeah, he had a mountain biking accident and whacked his head pretty bad, all on top of the Superbike crashes and injuries he had sustained.
All took time to come right, if they have 100% come right.
It would knock the stuffing out of most of us I reckon.
Be cool to see him in his drift car though.....

Incorrect! Sam is still not allowed to obtain a racing licence under his doctors order.

Im pretty sure he is now in the NZ rep team for lawn bowls. I think the superbike frightened him. He was a bit of a pussy really, never had what it took im my opinion

Farkin GOLD! Your best yet.
I think you're wrong though. I heard Sam had given up bikes and was abstaining from women, living in the Swiss Alps, herding goats and penning his memoirs.
Shame, he was a thoroughly good cunt, and one of the few proper racers who'd give me the time of day. Unlike those "up themselves" Suzuki Superbike pilots..........

My kids would never think of taking their Jimmy Mair T-Shirt off their wall for two reasons.
1. I don't have any kids
2. Jimmy Mair never did anything worthy of putting on a T- Shirt in the first place.
