Billy’s involvement in British BMX dates back to the very beginning in 1980/81. He would hang out with his brother, Winnie Wright, and all the other guys from Westway Track.

You could often find him helping kids fix their bikes and offering words of encouragement at the start hill to new, young riders. Billy found his way into photography and began taking pictures at the early races. Over the years, this led to him traveling all over the world. He started photographing Regionals and Nationals in the UK, and soon after, he could be seen…

She became the go-to person for resolving challenges, whether registering riders after deadlines, managing names and numbers, or handling a variety of administrative tasks. Val also played a key role in organizing the iconic Hillingdon coach trips to Slagharen, Holland, and…

Few names are as well-known in British BMX as Carlo Griggs.

Carlo became a household name in 1986 when he wowed BMX Beat audiences with his high airs and variations. That same year, he won the Under-14 UKBFA British Freestyle Championship and became the first rider to unveil turndown air at a UK competition. Carlo could do it all—winning vert, flat, and overall titles in a series of contests throughout the mid-1980s. He reached a professional level in flatland while also being the country’s best…
