Coaching

Its now May, the first round of the club series has been and gone , the first national has happened with Colin making the main event and other great rides from the youth. This weekend saw the Sleepwell Hotels sponsored Youth Tour happen around the island so we thought we'd give racing a miss, instead Brian Barton, who works for British Cycling and has BMX in his blood came over to do a couple of coaching sessions.

Focusing on basic bike handling skills and giving the kids homework they can practice anywhere even when they can't make the track. The only big crash of the weekend was Juan "last time I get talked into demonstrating" Watney, cheers Brian. For more pics check out facebook.

The next round of racing is at Ramsey next Sunday, with signing on at 1030 and racing from 1130.

See you all then

Okay riders, random start, riders ready, watch the gate...

There will be a 'come and try it' style open day at Ramsey track tomorrow (Sunday 11th April from around 11.30/12.00) - tell your friends!

The gate will be running and the sun will be shining (in intervals) - see, so come and get some practice in and throw down some style.The Lions Club will also be officially handing over the club hut at around 2.00pm. Hope to see as many club members and new faces as possible.

Thanks DREAMCATCHER

On Saturday we took delivery of some new equipment for the club, courtesy of the Manx Radio Dream Catcher Appeal.The application was made to the charity to increase participation at the club, to give new riders a chance of having a go on a race bike and to give current riders the option to try out a size up before buying. We were given a DK expert race bike, as well as 2 intense junior bikes and an intense mini xl.We also collected 6 full face helmets and 6 pairs of gloves to make sure riders coming along to try out the sport are well protected.For more pictures check out our facebook page.
