Congratulations to Lee Reynolds! Inducted into The British BMX Hall Of Fame Class of 2023 – Pioneer Freestyle

Lee Reynolds started riding BMX in 1981.

After initially riding dirt jumps, he built his own wedge ramp and quarter pipe, and just two years later he learned how to air.

By the mid 1980s, Lee was appearing in magazines and riding in UKBFA competitions. He was an early pioneer of halfpipe riding at a time when much of BMX was still rooted in quarter pipes.

At the age of 16, Lee was picked up to ride for Hutch and later rode for Haro and Airwalk.

Throughout the 1980s, he continued to progress his huge airs, stretched variations, and unique style, which marked him out at competitions including Bercy in Paris and the legendary 2HIP series.

He caught the attention of US BMX magazines and was photographed for some of the most respected publications of the era.

As part of the British freestyle invasion of the United States, Lee helped put British freestyle firmly on the international map, and we are proud to induct him into the Hall of Fame.
