Autumn nationals at Preston 23rd September

Mike (number 4) leading them out in the main Bradley riding like a red devil
Jack Clarke (Num 1) takes the inside line against tough competition

well myself Jack Clarke and Bradley Minns(Alans bmx team) all entered the first round of the BCF autumn national series today. Thankfully the weather held off bar a few showers. The track rode excellent with the new split 2nd straight working very well. Jack had some tough competition in the shape of Jake Power and they had some great battles in the motos with Jack ending up 3rd in the final.
Bradley Minns was clipped into today and riding on another planet. Jumping the pro section and powering his Avent frame to a massive lead, even doing a flattie during the main.Bradley won the final with ease and i think won cruiser the class also.
I raced again 6 weeks to the day after day breaking my shoulder in the Wales national. I was a bit rusty but came in a nice 2nd on the new supercross Easton frame after leaving a bit of a gap on the first berm. Were all looking forward to the next round at Chesterfield (7th october) and Peterborough (21st October)

A lesson in style

Check Marco Melandri from a couple of years back in Auz..Tell me this isnt pure class..

New Supercross frames inspire

Heres a couple of pics of the new supercross frames. The pro xxl 20" and the cruiser pro 24. I rode these today and they are unbelievably light. They handled unreal especially the cruiser which rides just its smaller brother..Check out Alans bmx.com for more details and to order one.

Media Madness

Paddy Sharrock and BBC Radio Manchester presenters Eamonn Oneil and Diane Oxberry

Paddy caused a stir in the BBC
Myself and Paddy Sharrock 9 years old national champion, appeared live this morning on BBC Radio Manchester promoting bmx racing and the North's outstanding achievements. Paddy was as good on the mic as he is over the jumps, a natural!!


Hiya all well myself Jake Roberts and Jack Clarke all did some filming on Channel M Tv last Tuesday. We rode at the disused bmx track at Bruntwood park to highlight how good this location could become with a little TLC. The attention was all for the North producing 6 national champions the Top club and the top team. Not bad.

BETTER HIPS THAN SHAKIRA

Here's some pics of Irlam skatepark its really well put together with lots of hips and a huge wall ride. Well worth a trip to ride or skate. Jake Roberts got into the hips and was having fun after this years successful race season.
Check it out at Princes Park Irlam (aa route finder for directions)

Here's some pics of the new dirt jump set up at Coppull bmx track. Morgan and all the lads are doing a great job. Coppull now has a new gate, revamped track and dirt jumps plus having 4 of its members earning national number one titles this season. Not bad. Keep it up chaps
