Everything comes to an end and sad to say the end of the road has come for BMX United.
In 2015 a group of riders from Gosport BMX Club found themselves homeless at National Races. A team was formed to give them a base, not all about results but enjoyment and fun. The family ethos was above everything and MUVI BMX race team was born.
In 2016, after one year, we changed to BMX UNITED but the aims remained the same.
In 2017 we expanded to include riders from other clubs and regions, chosen on their ability to fit in rather than about their results. The orange shirt first arrived.
In 2020 we added the pink sleeve to continue to highlight the ‘riders v cancer’ campaign (thanks lovenotmoney for allowing this) which was close to us with two of our dads going through treatment. This has remained through to the end.
Regardless of expectations, the riders went from strength to strength and had eleven riders qualifying to represent GB at the World Championships.
As a team, we didn’t want to charge the riders to ride for us, so we worked tirelessly to get appropriate sponsorship.
Massive thanks go out to the following sponsors who helped us:
Cubra Electrical Ltd
ASAP UK LTD
SC4 Carpenters Ltd
A B Trimming
Lead Racewear
All the riders will remain part of the family whilst moving on to new teams and adventures. This includes all riders who set up camp in our gazebos as they had nowhere else, our guests.
Although coming to this decision is not easy, it has been great fun and we are grateful to have made so many friends along the way.
We will still see you trackside.
Have fun. 🤘
A few memories of the family over the years.
