No Clips BMX Racing Yes, No Clips BMX was back in the UK for one night only at Bournemouth on Sat 26th May on the eve of the National weekend. The scene was set and the riders ready at the newly re-vamped Bournemouth track. To give the crowd a slicker show we went with a two moto qualifying system into the next round and used the breaks to send the crowd wild with the givaways which has become traditional at Uk No Clips races, we had loads of goodies from all the sponsors and a frame set from Dialled Bikes which was given away after the final.

The racing was hot and some of the top UK riders were looking good in the motos with the likes of Laurence Mapp current UK No.1 Elite rider, Liam Batey, Luke Gamble riding for Firm Bikes, young Gun Callum Strickland and Alex Dick (S&M) who always turns it up a notch when the clips are put away
on the track.

Come final time Liam Batey got the snap with his signature roll back and had it to the first turn with Laurence Mapp right in behind him, down the 2nd straight and into the berm Mapp went in underneath L Batey to take up the lead with Alex Dick moving on into 3rd having a battle with Warren Bankcroft out of turn 2, down the 3rd straight it was Mapp, Batey and Dick smoothing the jumps, round the last tarmac turn and down the last straight Mapp took it at the finish line with Batey in 2nd and Alex Dick 3rd.

It had been one of the best No Clips races ever, the atmosphere was great and the racing top draw. Big thanks to all those that supported this event... Relentless Energy Drink..Vans ..Profile Europe..Zoo York.. Dialled Bikes..
