What is BMX Racing?
BMX racing is relentless all-day action that begins with a qualifying heat called a “moto”. Up to eight riders compete in each moto, followed by additional knockout rounds to the final. This will determine the overall winner. Races usually last less than a minute and are quick and continuous. In short, it’s a day of uninterrupted excitement for both the riders and the spectators.

What Age Can You Start Racing BMX?

Is Getting Into BMX Racing Expensive?
Most active BMX clubs offer taster and skills sessions at their local track, allowing you to have a go at improve your skills. Many clubs offer bike, helmet and protective gear hire, allowing you to get a taste for the sport before making a financial commitment. This is how I started when I was 7 at my local club “Preston Pirates“.

I have represented GB and competed in the UCI BMX World Championships in America and Belgium and European Championships in France.
Testimonials
“Leon is showing all the attributes needed on the bike to go all the way in his chosen sport of BMX racing. He is also becoming the professional athlete always well-presented and takes time to engage with fans and younger riders. He also shows great sportsmanship to his competitors. Leon is a pleasure to work alongside, I look forward to seeing him progress”.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Leon for the past few years both on the track and fitness training. He is a very talented athlete who always puts in 100% effort. He not only listens well but goes away and works on what he has learnt from the feedback. Leon is also very good at analyzing his own performance and can terrain/ride accordingly. He has had some amazing racing results and I’m sure there is still lots more to come!”
“Leon has worked exceptionally hard during his time at Priory. He has managed to balance a demanding schedule of training and competitions alongside the academic demands of his studies. Leon knows where he wants to be in terms of his sporting ambition, how he’s going to get there, and I know he has the tools and desire to achieve these”.
