The first ever UK BMX Hall of Fame Freestyle Inductees

THE BBMXHOF Class of 2022

11 Nov 2022

Bbmxhof 2022 by kenny hunter untitled 16

In order to help the UK Freestyle scene get the recognition we feel it deserves, DIG teamed up with the all new BRITISH BMX HALL OF FAME to help with the selection of nominees in their Freestyle categories for their inaugural 2022 event in Birmingham. As this was the first year - and there was over 40 years of catching up to do - the event obviously had a heavy focus on the early eighties, however our preferred criteria for the Freestyler category was to look at amazing riders who have had the biggest influence over the longest period of time. The 2022 inductees are listed below and you can get a look at our full list of Freestyle nominees HERE. Thanks to Dale Holmes and the crew for a great night and a long over-due nod of recognition to so many influential figures... and congrats to all the winners and nominees for the inspiration over all these years.

Pioneer Male Racer - Alan Woods. This is the guy behind Alans BMX shop in Wigan, UK and is someone who (though his continued connections with all aspects of both BMX and punk music) has had a huge personal influence on our DIG editor since 1981.
