About the Source BMX Battle of Hastings
The Source BMX Battle Of Hastings is presented by Monster, in association with Etnies and is proudly sponsored by BSD, Cinema, Cult, Federal and United.
The original Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 and this year with the 950 year festivities, we ?re putting Hastings back on the international contest scene with our version of the Battle of Hastings to celebrate the first big BMX contest at the Source Park.
There was also an open qualifier event for all riders including AM’s held at the Source Park on July 23rd, in support of BMX Day 2016.
View the Highlights edit from the qualifier and see how Issac Lesser, Jack Mould, Tom Hobbit and Tom Milham qualified their spots in the Battle of Hastings!
To say we’re excited about this is an understatement; putting on amazing events was our biggest motivation when getting the Source Park opened.
More details on the format and riders will be announced regularly, every Monday at 15:00 GMT, over the Summer months; follow the @sourcebmx Instagram account and #BattleOfHastings for regular updates or head to: www.sourcebmx.com/boh
