NPS Round 2 Lisburn 2nd May
The first bmx race in Northern Ireland for 25 years, NPS Round 2 in Lisburn 2nd May was hosted by Lisburn BMX Club. Lisburn have been working tirelessly for 5 years to make this happen and everybody in BCBC would like to congratulate them on their achievements and look forward to many more days like this.
The day was delayed by 2 hours with the threat of heavy rain, A shower mid day couldn't dampen the spirits. BCBC was well represented with 19 riders of all ages and classes, showing the growing support for bmx racing in Belfast.
With 4 first timers and a few old schoolers making their comeback, all the riders had some great moments. here are some of the highlights and places. Our 2 youngest members Reece and Jacob took part in the Styder Championships where all participants get a medal. In the under 6s we had first time racer Jamie (pictured above). U8s saw friends Luis and Ozzy battle it out. U10s Martin 4th, and Josh winning the B final. Molly and Meg in U14-F
In the seniors we had Ryan and Joel who had a few falls and some great saves and finished 5th after a heavy landing saw his handlebars slip forward, Stuart came in 4th. In the Masters 30+ there was Sean, Peter, Gareth, Jonathan K and Ian got 3rd, Jonny was so far in front in every heat he stayed safe and took the win in the 30+ final . And last but not least our star rider superclass rider Luka just missed out on a podium and came home with a 4th.
