'More than a Job' - Twenty Years of Unit 23

A legendary piece of UK BMX history

6 Jan 2023

Video by Dave Sowerby

Unit 23 skatepark has played an enormous role in UK BMX over the last 20 years, playing host to not only locals but some of the world's best riders, incredible jams, wild parties and whatever else you can think of. Now you can get the full story behind Unit 23 (and that mystery poo!), courtesy of BSD and Dave Sowerby. Sit back and enjoy. Thanks to all the Mailey's for all the good times. Here's to more in 2023 and the future.


"Unit 23 is a mecca for BMX and has played an important part in the history of BSD.

Over the last twenty years the park has seen a lot, far too much to cover in a mini documentary, and with some antics that best never see the light of day anyway! To mark the occasion we wanted to look back on some of the key moments in the park’s history.

Fresh off finishing his recent 'Unit Life' BSD video, we spoke to Chaz Mailey to talk about the last year of filming while also reminiscing about the last twenty years at one of the world’s most iconic indoor skateparks…"
