I recently met with Harry Schofield at the Base skatepark for a session and was blown away by his talent. His confidence, energy, enthusiasm and just general stoke to ride was amazing but more importantly, his ability to shred on ANY bike was mind-blowing. In my opinion, he has a bright future in either MTB or BMX and I can't wait to see him progress.
Thanks to Harry's Dad for letting us film and we home to make some more videos in the near future!—Tom Cardy
Yea hopefully he can just do his thing and enjoy it before any pressure to perform starts to build on him. Its easy to see a 10 year old like him and just assume if he can do all these tricks now that he'll be 10x as awesome when he 18 or 20 years old and be the best rider in the world. But we have to remember that progress isn't always linear. Just because he is killing it and doing things other riders don't do until they are many years older, doesn't mean he will always be 10 steps ahead of his peers. At some point his talent curve will likely level off while other young riders his age will advance and ultimately close the gap.
The amount of hours one has to clock in order to do these tricks with that amount of style is unreal. If he's only ten, Harry must've started when he was a twinkle in his dad's eye.
i was in there when they were filming this (can see me ride past near the end when theyre chatting lol) so sick to watch this lad shred first hand! he is just so smooth, fearless and full of energy. got a very bright future
BMXers with a good indoor bike park in town: Ok...
Awesome work Harry, I’m 4 times your age and not even 1/4 of your talent! Keep it up scamp!
