Amelie Eaton

10-year-old BMX champion

Now age 10, Amelie started riding a balance bike when she was 18 months. By the age of three she had moved on to a pedal bike, and the following year was competing in BMX races. She hasn't looked back.

Not only has Amelie won The British Championships for her age group three times, this year she was proud to represent Team GB at The World Championships in France, making it as far as the semi-finals.

“I love BMX racing for the friendships that I have made and for the confidence that it gives me. Racing helps me to believe that I can achieve whatever I put my mind to.”
