Scott Dick is well known on the UK BMX race scene as a legendary commentator and as someone who has dedicated his life to growing the sport of BMX. Scott’s BMX journey began some 41 years ago when he became Track Director of the fabled Westway track in West London. His wife, Margaret, also played a key role, handling administration and finish line duties.
After Westway, Scott became Chairman of Hillingdon Hawks BMX Club. When his son Alex began racing at just three years old, Scott, Margaret, and their three children became regulars on the UK and European race circuits.
As Scott’s presence and reputation grew, he was invited onto the boards of the GBBMXF and the BCF BMX Commission. He was also instrumental in devising and promoting BMX race events at the NEC Bike Show, NASS, and the No Clips Series.
More recently, Scott set up the London BMX Series, which grew from over 80 riders in 2012 to more than 300 riders by 2019. He also created a Schools Outreach Project that visits local schools, spreading the word of BMX and teaching children how to ride bikes.
Congratulations to Scott Dick on his induction into the 2023 British BMX Hall of Fame as the recipient of the David Maw Lifetime Achievement Award.
