Riding and Rising – A day I’m very proud of! With lots of help, I’m proud to have hosted an event that, through BMX, developed leadership qualities, community and self-development tools both on and off the bike with an excellent group of individuals in the UK BMX scene.
Since being on my own mental health journey of highs and lows of a professional BMX career, I felt an urge to do something different within BMX. With a huge increase of riders striving for competitive Olympic glory, I’d been turning more to the culture of BMX, my personal roots of why I live action sports and how the skills I’d learned along the way to becoming an Olympic champion translated into everyday life, I wanted to share both!
This event was made possible with funding from Allwyn, operators of The National Lottery Change Makers Fund, various sponsors and local businesses, and a lot of helping hands, volunteered time & guidance – Thank you! I hope Riding and Rising can turn into something special 🩵 – Charlotte Worthington
