Super talented Charlotte Green

Well heres some pics of Charlotte Green ASC pupil and Alans bmx rider. Charlotte took the bmx world by storm this year with a dominant display in the female classes. She is moving up a class next season and doing some european rounds, she is only going to get better.
I really feel this young lady has the skill to be one of the very best.
Action sports coaching salutes you Charlotte.

Its all about the Flow

Bmx and skating always comes back to basics. There will always be times in your skate/bmx life when you return to the skids jumps and wheelies phase. Its why you started and what first gave you the buzz.If you ever find yourself in the stagnant stage, return to the flow and take pleasure in why you do these sports as opposed to any other. What other activity could give you the feeling of flowing. Carve that bowl or pump round the track or park theres always many different ways you can look at the same picture.

Check out the master of flow Chris Miller long time skater surfer and commentator on extreme sports. I salute you..

national champion 2007

National Champion then straight to Hospital

Hiya,
well myself and the bmx team i coach travelled to Tredegar,Wales over the weekend to compete in the final round of the national championships. We had considerable sucess with the team taking the title for the 2nd year running. Coppull bmx club winning top club and the north west producing 5 national champs including me.
I competed in the 40+ cruiser and the masters. This being a double point round no one at the top was secure in the standings. The track was fast technical with nice jumps.There was even a pro section which for some unexplainable reason they blocked off for everyone but Elite riders?? How bmx riders are going to improve by being blocked jumping a section i dont know. If your 10 years old and have the skills then let them jump! Ok rant over.
This was first race back after my wrist injury and i had to win the cruiser class to get my title back and place top 3 in Masters to stand on the podium. I made the main in both classes and took the cruiser win comfortably. Next up was masters i was sitting pretty in 3rd when i got squeezed onto the inside into the first berm and took out some cones then washed out myself and fell like a bag of spuds onto tarmac taking a couple of guys out.
So the race for me was over and i ended up 4th overall in Masters and attending casualty with a suspect broken scapula. Looks like the British championships in two weeks wont be happening for me either. Still thats bmx racing.
Congrats to a few of the action sports coaching pupils:
Jacob Roberts took national number 1
Jack Clarke national number 1
Paddy Sharrock national number 1
Well done fellas..
