Peckham BMX

Peckham BMX was launched by CK Flash in 2004. He believed that BMX was a way off the streets and within a few short years, Peckham riders were appearing on podiums around the country. In ten years, the club has worked with over 1,000 young people, primarily from deprived backgrounds, to help engage them with BMX racing.

Much more than just a track, Peckham BMX is now a strong community base, bringing together young people from many different backgrounds. Since August 2013, the club has been based on a full sized track in Burgess Park, South London and membership has increased from 45 to 900.  Several of the riders are National Champions and they are hoping to secure another World Championship title at the next games.
