Love Not Money riders will be seen racing on bikes with bigger wheels and more bounce as several are set to compete in the 2012 Schwalbe British 4X Series.

4X has been a favourite of BMXers and Downhillers since its creation in 2000 (evolving out of Dual and BSX) as it combines the best of both sports; riding against others, offroad, fast!

LNM have signed Pete Hosker to the team, an experienced BMXer and 4x rider, Pete is currently rehabbing his shoulder after surgery (after multiple dislocations it was discovered little more than threads and willpower were holding it in place) and will spearhead LNM’s 4X race efforts when fully fit.

Although the UCI have decided to cancel 4X at the World Cup level, a decision which angered the 4X community, the sport is thriving with the UK domestic race scene well run and well supported. The 2012 Schwalbe British 4X Series dates show only one clash with a BMX National round, which is great news as many riders compete in both disciplines;
