Can't find a recent topic devoted to Bruntwood so I thought I'd start one.
If you've got a boy or a girl who liked stryder/balance bike at the velodrome etc- get them along to Bruntwood BMX on a Wednesday night- our lad loves it. I have to call time and drag him away. Its well run, staffed by volunteers and a great atmosphere.
hora junior has just turned 5 and I think he'll be firmly bitten by the BMX bug thanks to these people.
Bruntwood is ace!
Not done a club night, but my lad (7) has had a go on a Sunday morning and thought it was brilliant, if a little scary!
Seen it from the air as I come in to land at Man Airport, thought about heading that way on the MTB at some point
Ive taken the boy there on his balance bike, not on an organised event, but just turned up one weekend morning, he loved it.
He can now ride a 'proper' bike (islabike cnoc 14) so we'll be back.
He doesn't have to ride it all- my son misses out the big bit at the end of the start straight. I'll build his confidence to ride that the next time we are there.
Can't agree enough. BMX clubs are great for the little ones. My lad was racing at 4 and has loads of new friends who are all mad keen on bikes. At 6 he's beginning to jump and is desperate to learn to manual.
The only problem is when you're being overtaken by an 8 yr old - and he's manualing!
