Rider first coaching for BMX racers who want to elevate their performance in an encouraging and supportive environment. Have fun. Be rad. Go fast!

Legend has it that The Racecraft Alliance was conceived as the boys were setting the BMX world to rights while enjoying a jacuzzi and sauna at a remote David Lloyd gym! What we do know is that their personalities and coaching styles perfectly complement each other – enabling them to design and deliver fun, inclusive, progressive and insightful sessions for riders who are pushing for regional, national and international honours.

Although you couldn’t tell by looking at them (!!), collectively, Tom and Ade have been in and around the sport since 1986 with experience all the way up to national Elite, European and World level.

They are currently bringing their wealth of experience to bi-weekly sessions which alternate between Bristol Jets Bmx Club and Cardiff BMX Club. The approach for these sessions is to create environments where riders are listened to and supported in their development of skills, race craft, mindset, fitness and training.
