The Burm

🚨 The 2026 UK BMX Racing Season Is About to Start 🚨

The gates are about to drop, and the new season is shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet.

Last year we saw:
🔥 1,266 riders in the National Series
🔥 54 clubs battling in the standings
🔥 Some of the tightest club margins in years

Now the big questions heading into 2026 are:

👀 Can defend their dominance?
👀 Is ready to take the Club Championship?
👀 Which rising clubs could break into the top 10?
👀 Which Elite teams will dominate the national scene?

From club battles to elite teams, winter form, and the venues that could decide championships — we’ve broken it all down in the full season preview.

If you’re racing, coaching, volunteering, or just following the UK BMX scene this year… this is the guide to the season ahead.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/758965

The Burm and MK BMX Racing Club CIO are calling on every rider, every parent, every coach, every cyclist and fan in the UK to sign a petition that could change the future of grassroots cycling.

We’re asking the government to invest £30m in community cycling facilities. BMX Tracks. Downhill. Road Cycling. Pump tracks. Safe places for kids to ride, families to come together, and future champions to get their start.

Right now, facilities across the country are disappearing faster than they’re being built. Volunteer-run clubs are stretched to breaking point. Councils don’t have the money. And without dedicated government investment, the gaps will only get wider.

The evidence says this works. The Places to Ride programme delivered £6.50 back for every £1 spent. Over £13m in estimated NHS savings. More than 150 facilities supported. The model is proven - it just needs backing.

The Tour de France is coming to the UK in 2027. Let’s make sure there are facilities ready to catch the wave of inspiration it brings.

10,000 signatures gets a government response. We’re not there yet. We need you.

✍️ Sign it. ⏩Share it. 📫Send it to every person you know!

Let’s make 2026 the biggest season yet.

I was listening to the podcast and Dex started talking about the archive of Men’s BMX Worlds finals we made (thank you for the kind words) and it hit me OMG, I never actually finished it! 😂

So here we go… Part 3 of the full UCI Elite Men’s Finals archive is now live on The Burm, covering every championship from 2011–2020 a decade that completely reshaped BMX, from the rise of the Supercross era to some of the most iconic finals we’ve ever seen.

This section has been a huge project to pull together because the data on results is not very accurate across the internet, but it’s so important for keeping BMX history alive and accessible - and I’m buzzing to finally get this instalment out there. Thanks for the reminder Dex!

Part 4 is coming very soon — promise! 🚀
