Source BMX – Battle of Hastings 2020 Cancelled

Leave a Comment

Here’s a bit of news we are actually kind of surprised to hear. Source BMX has decided to make the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Battle of Hastings. As many of you know, Source BMX had made a ton of changes to make it possible to do the event by limiting the number of riders in the contest, eliminating the crowd in the stands, only having riders from the U.K / Europe area and more to help reduce risk of COVID 19 spread. However, things aren’t going as smooth as everyone hoped and more lockdowns are happening, so they’ve decided to postpone until next year. Here’s the official word from Darryl Nau…

“2020 has been a tough year and seen most BMX contests cancelled. In July we announced that Battle Of Hastings would go ahead as an elite European rider only event behind closed doors and a focus on live streams shows. When making this decision we always had In mind that travel Covid-19 restrictions may tighten at any time and we may have to adapt but predicted and hoped that this would not be the case. Sadly it is not as many European countries and UK cities are currently locking down which would mean many riders, sponsors, key staff and more are unable to attend and make the event all that we want it to be.

We take the health and safety of our riders, staff, sponsors and the general public with the utmost importance so this has lead to us cancelling Battle Of Hastings 2020.

Thank you to all our sponsors and supporters for standing by us this year and we look forward to next year when Battle Of Hastings will fall on the weekend on September 9th-12th 2021 and return to celebrate BMX at the fullest.” – Source BMX

Battle of Hastings 2020 – Date & Team Captains Announced

Leave a Comment

Source BMX have announced that the 2020 Battle of Hastings will be going down September 4th – 6th! This year, due to COVID, it sounds like the event will be different from the past few years with it being a closed event that will be streamed online for everyone to enjoy, keeping the riders safe and reducing the risk of spreading things. This may be tricky since the hyped up crowd undoubtedly helped the riders in the past, but it’s the right move.

Source BMX have also announced the team captains for the contest! Sergio Layos, Tom Justice, Courage Adams, Simone Barraco, Alex Kennedy, Ben Wallace, Stuart Chisholm and Kilian Roth! Each rider will be picking other riders for their team, so expect to get those announcements soon!

Either way, we’re super stoked to see they found a way to make this one happen!

Best of Battle of Hastings 2019

Last weekend the Battle of Hastings went off at Source BMX, and there was no shortage of insane riding that went down. Over the course of the weekend there were a ton of videos and a live stream that popped up, so it would be easy to miss some of the action. Here’s a video giving you a look at all of the best BMX riding that went down between the plaza and the bowls!

“A lot of heavy riding went down at BOH this year and we pretty much got all of it, but if you don’t have like two hours to watch all the stuff we put out, here’s the best of practice, qualifiers, best trick, the plaza edits, and finals condensed down to ten minutes of creative, technical, and outright insane riding.” – Our BMX
