Hulme bmx park

Image
Here are some pictures of the new Hulme bmx park!! I was driving over the overpass in Manchester and i almost crashed the car. Its the first council built jumps ive heard of. They are very much work in progress at the minute but the basic shape is really good. Theres a small concrete skatepark also but they have painted the bottom of the halfpipe so its not the best to skate and the bottom of the quarters are to lippy! Bad design a typical council oversight iam afraid. One of the quarters has the weirdest rail coming off the coping check the pics. Check the bottom of the quarters, to lippy Berms in the process of being built Hows the coping on this beauty??

Autumn nationals at Preston 23rd September

Image
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 b

A lesson in style

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

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.
