Ellie Featherstone

AGE: 8 years (D.O.B. 14th February 2002)
STARTED BMX WHEN: I joined NEBMX when I was 6 years old in February 2008
REASON: Just like my brother, I’ve always enjoyed riding my bike so when Ben joined the club I couldn’t wait to join as well but needed lots of practice getting up those jumps with my little legs.
WHAT YOULIKE MOST ABOUT BMX: I like going to all the different tracks and making lots of new friends. I really enjoy travelling all over the country.
HIGHLIGHT: It has got to be Belgium in January this year. I loved the ferry crossing experience including climbing to the top deck with all my BMX friends from different clubs.
ACHIEVEMENTS: Although Belgium was my main highlight in BMX, it was also my best achievement as I made it through to the Semi-Final on Day2 but just missed getting through to the final by 1 place.
CLASS: I will be racing in the 7-8 year girls category this year although I have been racing in the 8-9 year girls which has been pretty hard going.
BIKE: I currently ride a White custom built Mini Crupi with green Profile Hubs and white rims, Scythe carbon forks, Crupi handlebars, Chris King headset, Profile Stem, Answer Cranks, LDC brake and Uni seat.
HOBBIES: Apart from drawing and playing on my playstation, I spend most of my time on my BMX bike. This includes sprinting, jumping on home made ramps, going to the skate park and riding my JD Bug Scooter. I also attend a children’s Gym to help me build up my stamina and strength.
WHO DO YOU ADMIRE: I really admire Kyle Evans from Wigan in Lancashire
WHY: I think he has a fantastic technique and he is very friendly
PLATE NUMBER: My plate number this year is 5 as it is my National Series position even though I missed a few races when I went on holiday.
FAVOURITE TRACK: This is a difficult question but I would have to say it’s PRESTON
OBJECTIVE: To train hard and achieve a position in the top 5 in the National Series.
