Halo BMX Race Team

We wrapped up the race season with an amazing weekend at the British Championships and saw Connor take his first title.

The big dog had the "Frankencruiser" out on track and dominated the 30-39 class with an unbeaten run through the day. He nearly went back to back on 20" too, but had to settle for 2nd. Not a bad show for a mountain biker 👏

Holly was in the mix in the 11s and gave her all to make the main. Outgunned, but not outdone she battled mid pack for a fine 4th place.

In the 12s, Ed rose to the occasion and after some tricky motos he tucked off the qualifiers to take the gate in the main and secured 8th in his first British final.

Pops was doing bits in the 13s and laid down some style in every lap. The tight track suited her tactics and she flew to 5th place amongst the best in the country.

In the Champ Women, Annie was laying down some first straights to die for...until the main. Off the gate she got shut down and had to settle for 6th at the stripe.

Just off the pace, Rex missed out on the main after getting pinched in the semi.

Lastly, I got the big bike out for the first time since Glasgow and had a ball in the 50-54 cruiser class.

Check back next week for a season wrap up from all the squad.

It’s been a busy few months for the squad racing both nationally and domestically with some amazing individual results and as a team. Our target for the season was to make the
promotion zone to the Elite team’s league and we nailed it.

Here’s a quick rider round up from the second half of the season:

Holly took the national title in 11 girls with six class wins. It’s been a tough year of racing amongst the girls, but the pocket rocket had it covered. She also battled in the 9-12 cruiser and an A final finish in the last round sees her qualify for next year’s world champs. Internationally, she went to work at the Euros and while outgunned on the first straight, she rode the pack like pac-man and fought her way through to the final. A crash scuppered her assault on the title, but an E8 looks great.

Rex has been consistent throughout the year and has a well-earned national number 5 plate to show for it. “The Flying Mullet” is always full of style and was never out of the mid pack
battles showing an awesome amount of adaptability and bike skills.

Ed has become a regular main maker at the nationals and his six top 8’s through the year were enough to secure the number 8 plate in the 12’s. Just his second season in the national races and there’s much more to come in 2027.

Poppy has shown her true skill sets this year and claims the national 5 plate after a tough year amongst the boys in 2025. Those battles have proved invaluable this year as she used those sharpened elbows to find gaps that didn’t exist to others. A crash in the quarters at
the Euros saw her out of Cardiff national, but she was back at it in Derby to finish strong and a season’s best in 2nd.

Luke dropped in again for a day in Gosport and showed the 16s what a skatepark rat can do on a bike. His ability to find a backside and generate speed is ridiculous and he makes going fast on a bike look as much fun as it should be.

The teams OG; Josh Wallis had a slow start to the season, but he knows his way around a bike race and when he was in the mains he made them count. Wallis will ride the national 8 in 2027. Two more years in the 19-29, then the master’s better get ready.

Connor has been all over it in Masters and finished strong in Derby with his second national win of the year to secure the national 3 amongst the dragsters. The win came off the back of his trip to Australia for the worlds where he kept things as smooth as possible and put himself on the gate in the semi-finals and a top 16 finish. An awesome achievement for a mountain biker.

Jack has been chipping away at it in the 30-39 cruiser, and his first straights have been something to behold. Track speed has been his Achilles heel throughout the year, but the podium has never been far away, and he wraps up the season with the national 5 plate.

As a first-year junior, Annie has shown that if you’re good, you’re good, and she’s been fantastic. Domestically she took the National Champs jersey in Cardiff and went on to do the triple that weekend with her first two champ class wins. In the overall she wrapped it up with the number 2 plate to go alongside her European number 8 plate from Sarrians. She also took a trip to Holland to dip her toe into the World Cup scene and will be looking for more next season.

As for the TM....

A strong start to the weekend here in Cardiff as Annie picked up the National Champions title in the Jr Womens class, and Connor claimed the Silver medal in the Masters class.

We're looking forward to a full throttle weekend of racing💨

Not one, but two European no.8 plates for the team after amazing performances from these two in Sarrians, France last weekend.
Holly did the business in the 11s as she battled her way through to the finals. Regrettably, she got upended in the first turn and missed the opportunity to see what she was capable of on a full race lap.
In tbe Junior Womens class, Annie showed her true colours and made it to the gate if 8 fastest 17-18 year old girls in Europe. Our rocket was all action through the rounds, but hot snagged up on the first straight in the main and had to roll home in 8th.
Super proud of the girls and looking forward to getting the team back together this weekend in Cardiff 🙏

We were back in action last weekend at rounds 3&4 of the British National Series up in
Glasgow. It was the first time back since the World Champs in 2023 and the squad were keen to get involved.
A slightly depleted squad of six riders due to various external factors didn’t hold us back
from nailing some scores on the board, maintaining our second position in the National Teams League.
Holly went to work in 11 girls, dominating the class all weekend with two clean sheets, and leads the points standings. The pocket rocket was also out on the cruiser and battled the boys to make her first A final, finishing 6th on Saturday.
Ed had a weekend of two halves with a few unlucky line choices, he had to settle for a 5th in the B final on day one but had the rub of the green on day two and came back strong with his best result, taking 4th in the A main.
Big Bish was all over it in the 13 girls and made her way to two A finals after some amazing pack battles across the weekend. Day ones main didn’t quite go to plan as she got caught up on the first straight and went down. Back to it on day two though and she sliced her way to a fine 5th place finish.
Our boy Connor was all over it in Masters and he was on fire with first straights, breezing into the mains. The class is full of top fuel dragsters and the competition is tough. Connor got out but got swamped in the turns and had to battle mid pack on his way to a 5th and 6th across the weekends racing.
I was back in action in the 50-54 cruiser class with no major goals but to have a good time
and stay on the bike. Surprised myself by being near the pace and got close to a place in the
main with a 5th in the semi. In day ones main I simply missed the gate and had to go to work
for some points, picking up 4th for a 12th overall.
Last up was Annie in the Champ Women, and as ever, she goes all in. Consistent laps saw her through to the finals on both days, picking up a fantastic 4th on Saturday and rounding out the final on Sunday in 8th.

We're already buzzing for the weekend and the second stop of the national series up in Glasgow.

Massive thanks to Halo Wheels and all the support from Ison-Distribution for getting the team the best quality team area to prep for the races and chill with their mates 🙏

After what seemed like a long dark winter, we were back in the game and hit the first rounds of the British National BMX Series with a full squad in attendance.

Out on track, the squad put in a big shift with a full sweep of A finals across the weekend and slotted the team into second place in the National Teams League.

Holly went to work in 11 girls, dominating the class all weekend with two clean sheets. Little Bish made light work of the competition and leads the points standings as she looks to retain her national champion’s title.

In the 11 boys, Rex got his shred on and took two A final finishes. The first day he got caught out by a temperamental gate and had to battle in the pack for 7th but come the second day he was all systems go and duked it out at the front of the pack to secure a solid 2nd place and currently sits in 3rd overall.

Into the 12s, and our new boy Ed struggled to find his rhythm on day one. He was battling for position but got bullied and had to settle for a 4th in the B final. That gave him the fire he needed, and he was all business on day two with a strong A final finish where he got involved in the mix to claim a solid 6th.

Jack got stuck into the 30-39 cruisers and had his snap on lock as he led out the mains across the weekend. On day one he got a little wide in turn one and then the shuffle started seeing him slip back to 4th. On day two he held on until the third straight, but the BMX boys had too much rhythm, yet he held on for a podium spot and secured 3rd.

Up into the teenage classes now and Poppy was back in with the girls to get her season underway. The 13 girls is one of the most even fields of any class and our shredder was right
in the middle of the action. Always outgunned, but never out skilled she worked her way through the pack in nearly every lap. Day one was an unlucky one, but a B final win was a little sweetener. Day two and she took her spot in the final 8. Through the lap she worked the pack and got so close to a podium with a fine 4th place finish.

Luke had a weekend off his freestyle duties and joined us back on the racetrack for the first time in two years!! Naturally one of the most skilful riders in the country, he made it look
effortless until the semi-finals when he flipped the gate and had to style it round at the front of the B final. Come day two and he was back in the main but got t-boned in turn one and rolled it home in 8th. We hope to have him back in the team tent later the year…. pleeeeease!!

No easy classes for our squad and Wallis had his work cut out in the 19-29 class. One of the team OGs was on the pace, but just not in the mix and missed out on the semis after a
couple of brutal quarter finals.

Our boy Connor was all over it in the Masters class. It gets dirty in the 30s, but the boy was on fire with first straights like a dragster he breezed into the mains, nearly going back-to-back wins, just slipping back on day one after a mistake on the second straight saw him
settle for third, but day two was almost a “perfect” lap and he picked up his first EVER national BMX win.

Last up was Annie in the Championship Women. Our Royston Rocket has been taking it to the finals in the opening rounds of the UEC European Cup series, so we knew she was on form for the opening rounds of the national series. Super consistent while holding her own amongst the fastest women on the planet is no easy task, but a pair of 6ths on her tally put her well in the top eight after the opening rounds.

We’ll be back in action at Glasgow for the next stop of the series, and the TM Jools will be back on track, not just chatting on the sidelines.

Massive thanks to all the brands at Ison-Distribution - Halo Wheels, Gusset Components, Tioga Bmx, and HT-components as well as Stay Strong Brand and XLR8 Bike School for

Annalise kicked off the weekend at round 3 of the European Cup in Tiel, Holland.
Strong gates and smooth laps saw her through to the main.
Out the gate she got a little pinched, but slotted into 4th in the first turn, and picked up a podium slot after capitalising on a crash at the front.
Looking forward to Round 4 tomorrow 👊
