A Christchurch speedway rider, Justin Monk, shows off the zinc-coated steel studs on the rear tyre of his motor-cycle before an ice-racing practice at The Big Apple ice rink in Christchurch. With him are Darryn Hopewell, left, and Mark Thorpe. The studs have been imported to enable Canterbury riders to compete in an international speedway ice-racing series at the rink. About 800 of the studs are fitted to a rear wheel to grip the ice. The first meeting will be on August 19. —Photograph by DAVID WETHEY.
