Any that try or can beat me on a Race Day.

 

I agree with that, thats where your inspiration comes from, if it doesnt then.....

 

As for mentors, had a few, but never been luckily enough to have one who taught me everything like some do. Experience, mistakes and learning from them, but i have never lost my biggest negative, IMPATIENCE!!

met many great fanciers over the years and learned something off them all one of the best years a go told me when you let them out  watch them fly and when they drop let them play about and watch them  thats where you win and lose

i had been flying pigeons for about 25 years when this  fela moved in next door and raced pigeons .up till then i was happy to get them home but my whole outlook of the game changed i,d been listening to the wrong people for years.   the mans nameis mark gilbert

himself  ;)

 

Yer right. Thats the problem with lots of fanciers, they blame everyone or everything else instead of looking in the mirror. Maybe you should try it :P ;D ;)

the person who inspires me to win is the guy winning races in the club...when i became that guy in my club i relaxed my motivation so its ...motivation!  motivation! and more motivation! is the key.

now after starting back up(in recent years) this year ive found motivation...only time will tell.

my grandfather was my mentor and was always there in the result.

Then when racing on my own motivation firstly to beet parents and then beet others in the club, once that was achieved then to move up the fed sheet etc.

Its all about keeping motivated!

Motivation for me comes from within, the desire to do better, to become better. I think depending on how much the fire rages within determines how far you go in the sport.

No one person inspires me nor influences, I've pretty much always done my own thing. I've learnt the hard way and yes am still learning and dont suppose I'm even half way there yet.

I know one thing for sure and that is every year is getting harder instead of getting easier.

I think you are not reading and understanding what Tony has written!

There are many that have taken advice from others and found further down the line it was the wrong advice, maybe a club member sending you down a dead end rd, Tony has clearly picked out the bits of information he feels will benefit him.

He has a lot of very good fliers in his area and holds his own with them and the LNRC so must be doing something right!
