Alright, my name is Alex McKenzie,

I’ve been riding bikes properly since 2008 when I started to ride Freeride/Downhill at my local trails which I built with my three mates, Mat Cooper, Alex Blunt and Matt Wood but over the year that we rode, one by one they dropped out of the sport until it was only me and Mat Cooper but recently he sold his bike to fund his car so I was left on my own. I turned to trials biking, a sport which is about balance and skill, getting over various obstacles like walls, benches and other objects you find in the street, through trials biking I have taught myself a lot about biking…..

I was introduced to 4x by one of my best mates, Harry Samsa who was in love with 4x but I didnt like it. In time my views changed, I grew to love 4x and the community surrounding it, now I try to go up there every Sunday (if my Mum’s in a good mood that is!)…over the past few months I’ve met some really good people within Chicksands and have made a great circle of friends.

This April brings on the new racing season and this means the 4X NPS (national points series), this is a series of various different rounds staged all over the UK. This could be from Fort William, Scotland to South West Extreme, North Devon I’m really looking foward to this season as it will be my first, so let the training commence!


My training constists of a 6 mile cross crountry ride, this distance will increase when I get fitter….To the gym every Wednesday after college and you can’t forget eating healthier because I ate a lot over the Christmas season and it’s not good for your fitness !

This is my first blog post and there’s plenty more tp follow….
