Winter rides:



Just because it's winter, don't stop riding! We're trying to organise a Mountain Bike ride for some riders this winter, maybe in the woods, maybe in Peak. We will have to balance any group we take out in terms of ability and age. So, if you want to come along, let us know - email ed - bmx@heeleydevtrust.com

Summer's over,
Winter's nearly here.



We had a great time in Half Term, we took our 'Not Sure North Shore' Course to the Manor and Meersbrook Park and had loads of kids come and give it a go. Both see saws were out, and proved very popular, kids as young as 4 giving it a go.

At Last Saturday Club, we found the bowl in bad condition, there were too many leaves and a pool of water, so we stuck to the courts. We had two groups, doing classic games like 'Glass Wall', 'Sumo' and 'Slow Race' as well as some new skills - trackstanding in a box and hopping the front wheel. We also had a group led by Karlos, passing on some of his tricks. Endo to wheelie in one move, riding backwards and bunny-hops. Silas and Charlie did really well.

We're going to stop the LSC in Meersbrook park for a couple of months, as the bowl and courts were quite slippy this month.We'll be back next year for sure.

On your bikes!

Trick No 1: Front Wheel Balance

Here's one to try out - see if you can balance the bike by putting both feet on the front tire! Try on something soft like grass first...

Can you do it like Karlos?

Our Bikes...

We've got lots of bikes we use at the events we're putting on, BMXs, MTBs and the Jump Bikes above. They are great fun, easy to balance and very reliable. We got them new through the ReCycle Bikes Workshop.
24 inch wheels, 1 gear, suspension forks and disc brakes - right good!
And they can drop into the bowl at Meersbrook park no problem.

We can carry all the bikes on our new purpose built trainer, with lids, gloves, and all the kit for games in the back - we're really excited about it all!

Last Saturday BMX Club

Next session is on 26th September in Meersbrook Park Skate Bowl here 1pm - 3pm.

We'll be working on getting more folks to drop in the bowl, exits, and maybe some tricks - X-ups, 180s, and manuals out of the bowl.
