BMX bikes must be set up with the seats as low as possible (slammed). riders should NEVER sit down when riding the BMX track. novice riders should build up sufficient speed on the tarmac areas of the track to be able to 'freewheel' over the bumps/jumps without initially trying to jump across them. NEVER attempt to pedal over the bumps/jumps. riders should then progress to 'manuals' - lifting the front wheel through the bowls between the bumps/jumps. only once riders have mastered FAST manuals should they progress to jumping across the bumps/jumps. jumping any kind of bike is DANGEROUS. jumps should only be attempted once basic skills have been mastered. safety equipment is essential to avoid cuts and/or grazes in the event of a fall. helmets MUST be worn. gloves should be worn to avoid cuts to the hands. knee and elbow pads should be worn to avoid cuts to the knees and elbows.

Well Folks, It is now 2024 but unfortunately 'Covid' or rather one (or several) of its many variant Viruses is still with us and keeps cropping-up from time to time so we are still being as cautious as ever.

Following on from the last couple of years, we are still trying to be as diligent as before regarding viral precautions & hygiene, so, if you or your child / children (or close family and/or friends) have any Covid, and/or any other Viral symptoms, flu like symptoms, bad coughs, etc, or have been in contact with anyone who has been tested positive for Covid or any other potentially infectious conditions please do not attend classes until the required isolation period is completed, or until you have been given the go ahead by your Doctor or medical practitioner.

By now, everyone in the UK should be very familiar with the symptoms associated with these type of viral infections. Sadly, I think this is now the 'Norm' for us all, so, if in doubt, please go to the Gov.org.uk web site for the very latest information and guidance.
