During the four day camp, three and a half days consisted of race focussed coaching. Twenty five young people attended the camp over the four days, and consisted of new youth club riders, riders from local schools and riders completely new to BMX.
The race day consisted of a coached warm up, 3 moto qualifiers and a final. Twenty three riders took part in the racing which was close and competitive. Many parents stayed to watch, creating a good atmosphere that was helped by the fantastic weather. All riders taking part received a medal and a water bottle for taking part.
Integrating a series of coaching sessions with a Go-Ride Race has proved an effective way of moving riders on from coaching to racing. We will continue this seamless approach throughout the summer by doing the same at Youth Club sessions and Holiday Camps, providing further opportunities to race BMX as a novice in Manchester.
