Midlands BMX Championships

If you're anyone who's anyone, you were at the Midlands BMX Championships in Derby a few weeks back. Of course, The Ledge was there to enthusiastically cheer on the riders.

We were joined by Shanaze Reade, 2008 World Women's BMX Champion and finalist at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games who opened the Championships at Alvaston Park, Derby. Riders flocked from across the country and the event is a great example of just how many aspiring BMX Olympic hopefuls there is out there.

We took some snaps of our day out - here's a few of the best ones!

For loads more great pictures of the event, take a look at the British Cycling Events website.

If you were there and grabbed any pics or vids, send them through to us at skatetheledge@yahoo.co.uk and we'll put 'em on our blog and stick your name next to them.

We're still building the BMX section of our website, but feel free to take a look at what we've got so far.
