I've been racing BMX on and off for about 37 years, since the late 80's - I'm on my 3rd comeback! I once was the British Champion way back in the 90's before I went to live in Amsterdam for 17 years. At the 2019 World Championships in Zolder, my first one in 30 odd years, I was #1 in 50+ Cruiser category, unfortunately there is no official 50+category, so I ride in the 40+ category coming 13th that year, making semi-finals in subsquent years, I'll be 55 this Christmas.

I'm a BMX coach for Preston Pirates and absolutely love coaching and the amount of riders coming through from grass roots at club level at the moment, especially all the females, we work hard to recruit many girls and their Mums as well as Dad's, we only look at the riders and not their gender or their age and we're are packed out every week, it's so fulfilling. During the day I also teach kids and adults how to ride bikes!

My favourite track is Knightswood in Glasgow and I would never disclose my worst track as I know too many people in BMX ;-)
