Jeremy Kenning

For some reason when we talk about successful British riders from the 80s a lot of people forget to mention GT’s, Jeremy Kenning. The first spotting of Jeremy on the National circuit was perhaps the final UKBMX National of 84 at Wigan when, as an unknown, Jeremy showed up and beat all the big names across the county in his class and went on to get picked up by GT over the winter months.

For the next few years, Jeremy dominated both UKBMX & NBMXA winning the majority of the titles in both associations. At the 86 World Championships at Slough, Jeremy came in 2nd place in the final behind Australian multi-World Champion, Andrew Figliomeni, nearly passing him in the 2nd turn for the win. Still a 2nd place in his first World Championships was not too shabby.

By the end of 87, it seemed like Jeremy got tired of winning and called it a day pretty much going out on top definitely leaving his mark in the few years he was around.
