This week, we hit the back of the Pod Van and recorded a podcast with the King of British BMX Trivia, Paul Roberts, and talked about the British National rankings in the early days of UKBMX and NBMXA.
We go back to 1981, the first year of National rankings in the UK, and discuss some of the riders who got the Number 1 plates in both UKBMX and later NBMXA when they kicked off their National Series and the first-ever NBMXA British Championships at Derby Greyhound in 1983.
We delve deeper into the mid and late 80s and touch on some of the riders – Pros, Superclass, Girls and Cruiser, and some of the names, Mark Watkins, Neal Wood, Lee Pickstone, Joey Gough, Pete Dymott, Jeff Dovey and so on, including some of the names winning those early NBMXA titles and featuring in the top 10 and more.
Check it out on the British BMX Hall of Fame website or Spotify.
