Andy Mountain

It doesn't matter if we know riders names or the locations, I just want to share pics of uprights still in action in 2026. So riders, spectators, photographers and anyone else send me pics and I'll think up a catchy hashtag for a weekly feature or something #WorkInProgress

2026 is roughly 30 years since uprights were cast aside for the sake of evolution. We all know the #UprightRevival won't happen BUT. There seems to be a lot of very nice uprights being ridden on the amateur scene so I'm going to tweet pics of modern day uprighters having fun

@UprightSpeedway CM57 having some fun on mine 👍

🎥 WHAT A TURN AROUND! 😱 A brilliant race from the @SpeedwayScunny pair in heat 8 to overturn a @poolespeedway 5-1 in the first leg of The BSN Series Final 👀#watchspeedway | 🇬🇧 @SpeedwayGB

If this doesn't get at least 1.2 million retweets we can safely say Twitter is completely broken What a photo 😍

WOW!! Connor Mountain take a bow. Absolutely amazing! Heat 14 action from the Scorpions Vs Gladiators

Thinking of the Louis family today as they say goodbye to John #RIPTiger

I've been in the loft today & dug out these 2 T-Shirt & sticker bundles from the tat I've accumulated over the years. You can win one in an #UprightBirthdayGiveaway Retweet this to enter, followers only I'll pin this to my profile & do the draw later in the week. Good luck✊

In this week's SPEEDWAY STAR... our BACKTRACKING column features current Belle Vue favourite Connor Mountain and his dad Andy, who have built a superb replica of Erik Gundersen's 1987 white/orange GM. Erik is impressed with the result. @TheAces @speedwaystarmag @CMountain57

@SpeedwayGB 🖤

JOHN LOUIS 1941-2024 Ipswich Speedway legend John ‘Tiger’ Louis has passed away at the age of 82. Everyone’s thoughts are with the Louis family at this time ❤️

🚨 SIGNING NO 7 And the 2024 Scorpions are complete with the returned of talented CONNOR MOUNTAIN 👍 Rob Godfrey: “He’s still a young rider on an upward curve and it’s great to have him back riding for Scorpions for a second season.” Full story ➡️ scunthorpe-speedway.com/?p=16618

@UprightSpeedway Sneak preview, almost ready for @jeffdavies170 pictures 📸 😁

@AMountain57 I think these are the only 2 I've got of that 'set up'

I'm struggling to think of anything witty of interesting to say lately, sometimes you just gotta stop trying, tweet a pic of a couple of legends and let the photo do the talking

@UprightSpeedway Love it 😍😁👍

@stevenorman6 @UprightSpeedway No way! 🤣🤣

@AMountain57 @UprightSpeedway Are you going to race it Andy??

@UprightSpeedway That's a shame, it's Erik's orange set up from 87. I'm building a replica! Almost there 👍😁

@AMountain57 No I don't Andy, sorry
