Manchester’s Indoor BMX Track at the National Cycling Centre was only built in 2011, but it’s fast becoming a mecca for British BMX riders.
OK, so the name doesn’t conjure up visions of insane Nitro Circus-style stunts, but it’s one of the raddest places in the UK to race from an 8m starting ramp into some mental tracks and BIG jumps.
Plus if you feel like your riding has plateaued, then the centre runs lessons to help you progress.
