What a fantastic day at the Preston Club Championships! 🙌🏻

A huge thanks to all of the volunteers at Preston Pirates BMX Club, the North Region BMX officials, and organisers who made it possible.

The Bradford Bandits turned up with an incredible 30 entries, finishing as the 3rd most successful club in the North Region🥉That’s an achievement we’re incredibly proud of and a reflection of how much our club continues to grow and improve year after year. 💚🖤

The results speak for themselves:

🥇 4 Gold
🥈 3 Silver
🥉 4 Bronze

We also had several riders narrowly miss out on podium spots, with some incredibly close racing throughout the day.

There were outstanding performances across every age group, with loads of riders smashing PBs and showing that all the hard work put in during coaching sessions is paying off.

A massive well done to every Bandit who raced, supported, coached and cheered from the sidelines. We’re proud and grateful for every single one of you! It never feels more special than seeing the wave of Bradford Bandits shirts parade the track at the club champs 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

British Championships Day 1 update. The Bandits had a truly remarkable day at the British Champs. From 22 entries, 21 riders qualified for the knockout stages, we had 12 semifinalists, 10 top-ten finishes, 8 A-finalists, and 2 second place finishes. Many of the younger riders were genuine novices, and fairly new to the sport. As well the genuine speed and skill on show, there was also warrior spirit with one of our cruiser riders racing with an injury but still making semifinals, and one of our novices crashing but being cleared by the medics just in time to get on the gate for his 1/8 final.
This could be the most consistent set of results we’ve had as a club, and are a testament to the hard work put in by EVERYONE involved in the club over the last few years - track, infrastructure, structured coaching program, welfare, funding, volunteers, family, friends and links with other clubs and cycling organisations.
Best of luck to Evie, Martin, Nigel, Oliver, Owen and Yusuf who are all racing 20” today!

This week’s race report shout out has to go to our incredible team of volunteers at Bradford Bandits BMX Club 💚💚💚
We usually focus on rider achievements because they are all amazing, but for our relatively small club in West Yorkshire, this was one of the biggest and most successful Regional events we’ve ever hosted.
Behind the scenes, countless hours have been spent fundraising, coordinating, organising, and putting the finishing touches to our brand new start gate just in time for Sunday’s racing. The dedication and hard work from our volunteers made the whole event possible.
After weeks of planning for the inevitable Yorkshire rain, we suddenly found ourselves making a last minute dash to the supermarket’s freezer aisle to stock up on cold drinks and ice lollies instead! We’ve now discovered that BMX riders are capable of consuming record breaking numbers of ice lollies and still coming back for more!
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, supported the event, shared the laughs, cooled us down with water gun crossfire, and helped keep spirits high throughout the day. We may have all finished a little sunburnt, but our hearts were certainly full.
Well done, Team Bradford Bandits. You should all be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
