Welcome to britishbmxhalloffame.com. We thought with such an impressive old school following in the UK, especially with social media so big now, it was about time we started documenting BMX Racing from the early days. Hopefully, we can keep adding interviews/stories/blogs from the past and work our way through the years of BMX racing in the UK. We’re really hoping to get some key words from influential people that were involved with BMX through the early years and maybe a little behind the scenes details, as the sport boomed in the early 80s and leveled off in the early 90s. I think you all can agree there is a lot of stuff we can cover. If you feel you’ve got some good material that is worth posting, please feel free to email us. Stay tune for more updates.
Well done to all involved
Looking forward to following this site
Well done Look forward to seeing this GROW and GROW 🙂
Very excited to see this progress. Looking forward to the stories.
Cant wait to see the pics n stories. Bring back amazing memories
After `retiring` from racing 27 years ago I am now back ( albeit on a cruiser ) after having got my daughter Tara into racing in this year. Love looking back and remembering how it was, so hopefully, this will be a good site to follow for years!
Nice, looking forward more memories flooding back
After a very brief return last year, I’m looking forward to all the pics and memories from BITD (they’re much less painful).
Hey this sounds good to me. I got plenty of fotos from 81-84 uk north west region so you might wanna use some of em. Let me know if you’re interested

Fantastic – well done for getting this off the ground. Like many of the others that were involved in the early days ,(1980 to 84) the sport certainly helped to build my character and gave me confidence that has helped in my adult life. I will be watching with interest and will contribute however I can.
Thanks for the comments Dave it would be great to talk with you more. Drop us an email ukbmxhistory@gmail.com

I found this particular blog post , “Hello And
Welcome | UK BMX History”, quite pleasurable and it ended up being a great read.
Thanks-Carlo
Good read, look forward to seeing more
WOAH! So many names i remember. I used to race for Robinson. My parents owned Sussex BMX based in Brighton and often went to all the tracks selling from our motorcross camper. My name – Nick Turrell. Same age group as Wally Pack, Chico Hooke, Sam Jarvis etc etc. Had many people travel with us through their careers, All of the Lunns, Frankie Romain, Dave Beveridge, Paul Hudson, Bernie Vincent, Darren and Rohan Fryer, Wally Pack and many many more. Due to my parents shop in Brighton, we also hosted some massive freestyle tours, many of the worlds top riders stayed around my house, Eddie Fiola, Blyther, Griggs, Campbell, the Curb dogs, Mike Canning and many more. Had the most amazing expierences frowing up and having your idols stay around your house or travelling with us in the motorhome. Best days ever.
