2 wins and a 2nd for ASC

Well myself and the team i help to manage Alansbmx/shimanodxr rode @ the Cheddar national at the weekend. it was a double header race. I was racing two classes tiring enough but then i had to do it all again the next day. Thanks to Dave and Louise for the offer of a bed on Sunday night sweet sleep was appreciated.
I won the cruiser class on both days and came 6th and 2nd in the highly competitive masters 20" class.
The team did great taking 3 wins on the Sunday and 5 wins on Monday. We left Cheddar with a lead in the overall team points in the BCF national rankings.
Most of all one of my younger ASC pupils Jacob Roberts won his 2nd ever national race after coming back from injury. Well done Jake! believe me theres more to come This is the first of many.

Thanks for checking the blog its going to change appearance very soon with training tips advice etc.Iam on it..

Also look at for the joint Action sports coaching / Warren Bancroft bmx training days coming up in June if your looking for race skills advice or learning from the best then this is for you.
talk soon Mike

getting ready for battle

Well i travelled down to Cheddar bmx track on Sunday acompanied by Warren Bancroft (alans elite rider) Jacob Roberts (redlines hot shoe 12 year old) and the legendary Gav Foster (www.bikevideos.co.uk) I went down to attend to some team stuff and get some practice before this coming weekends double national race.

I raced 17+ and ended up racing some of the young fellas ive been coaching with the BCF Talent team program.
The track was good fast and technical. Andy Par old time rider just returned and looking hot unfortunately broke his collar bone on the notorious 3rd straight. get well soon mate.

Monday was taken up at Preston Bmx track working with Phil Dixon (BCF mountain bike coach and national cyclo cross champion) and 4 of his academy riders. Phil has the vision to see that learning bmx skills helps pretty much every other aspect of cycling. if you can handle a bmx over a tricky course it has to help when you get back onto a bigger 26" wheeled mountainbike. The guys and girls where fantastic and really improved throughout the days session. I wish them every luck in there future mountainbike careers. (sorry ive no pics) Heres some random Cheddar pictures.
talk soon Mike
