Cornwall Schools Tour



Thanks to Andrew (Charlotte's dad) for forwading this info about this great progam they have down there promoting BMX racing by visting schools. Great job.
Cornwall BMX is taking the sport around local schools this summer in the form of a taster session in the playgrounds. The club has built a 2 man gate that runs the Pro Gate air ram and start system. The whole thing is mounted on a trailer so they just park, fit the ram and start running gates.
The first session took place on the 26th April at Camborne Science and Community School.
The team that set up the tour where blown away by the numbers who turned up and the enthusiasm for the sport. All the new riders had there best time over 20m recorded and the top riders received a medal presented by Charlotte Green British and National Champion. This has resulted in 15 riders coming to Cornwall’s Club night and joining up.
The club has been asked to do another session at the school at a later date and the calendar is fast filling with other schools eager for a taste of BMX Racing. A huge thanks go to Kelly and his team who have put in a massive amount of work to make this possible. More pictures at http://andy-green.magix.net/
