advice ,,help on new school racing..

help 
its a long story but im looking on the best route.
what website is the best to look at on finding some of the uks best bmx racers..national level..

[se-bmxer]

don't think theres any dedicated website for UK bmx racing where you can get info on the pro's, bmxtalk is a forum so not helpfull
and British cycliing ain't that good but it does show reports and pictures of the national series

why Dan you startin ?

[harris]

scouting,,,  looking at sponsoring someone who needs just that little extra help to go to the next level..

[se-bmxer]

start looking at your regionals in your area im sure Mike from dialled bikes could help you as he does the south regionals
he should be able to point you in the right direction as to potential riders.

its easier if you get someone to sponsor/help in your region as you can easily keep an eye on progress

cheers fella will do just that.

Hi Dan.  Just drop me a mail (mike@[name of my bike company).com and I can certainly recommend some great but underrated/unacknowledged riders to you.

Are you looking to start a team?  What age ranges are you looking to cover?

Whatever it is youre upto, its great you're looking at doing it

pm on its way   

i was once an avid racer , travelled like all you others up and down our good land.
i did ok was pretty fast but got side tracked by life and freestyle.

i am in a position that i want to give a little nudge in the right direction to someone whos made good in racing or is a real potential of going further.

i have been offered by a company the help i need to help the rider so hidden backing of a kind..
team wise that might go that way if things go ok..

dude if its a free bike and travel im game

[wolfybmx]

looking for riders from your local area would be the best advice i could give. this means you can support from a local level plus keep close eye on progress and be more helpful than taking some one from the other end of the country unless your 100% their gonna do the business and give as much back as you put in.

  Cal Strickland could be worth checking out...

[harris]

mr strickland and tuffs are on my list   very good riders  mike threw their stones across my path
i will be watching closely

[pickle]

i think this is a superb thing to be doing Dan.....fooking top notch!   

[dialledbikes]

Hey Dan, did you manage to get up to Manchester to see the racing?

I hear Cal Strickland had a blinding weekend (second or third in Elite Men) and is currently National No.3 on flat pedals.

hey dan, great shout mate.. i really think its a cracking idea 

i watched cal & tuffs at the manchester national last week... fantastic racing !! cal has already been offered sponsors and turned them down as he will only ride s&m... 

ade

[dialledbikes]

Is that right Ade?  I knew that Cal had contacted S&M/4Down about sponsorship, but they could only offer him a trade price deal.

[harris]

i never got to go ....bad timing on my behalf and double booked myself badly   even missed british super bike free weekend   

i did get a few reports from friends about a few riders   so looking good..

if carls turning down sponsorship then i guess i wont much bother,helps help but if you are being picky then no point offering it i guess.

That's why I asked whether Ade was sure, Dan, cos as far as I'm aware, Cal is looking for a ride (and I'm sure he wouldn't turn his nose up at your connection).

[moley]

Cal is a great rider.  I always enjoy watching him!!

At Bob Fields Grands at Crewe they had a no clips race and Cal was so far ahead he could have won it by a straight but he took it easy.  Although Liam and Bloomy didn't race.

He came 3rd in both the Elite and the Grands behind Bloomy and Liam.

Not bad for the Flat pedal Mulisha!!

Ade i dont think you are quite right there buddy , I think that may have been said a little tongue in cheek . I know for a fact Callum is looking to do all the euro rounds next year and also looking at riding in the states over the winter and is definitely looking for a helping hand . Dan you need to have a word with Callum , you will not meet a nicer level headed  young man with bundles of natural BMX talent.
