BMX Racing
Lisa Hawkins loves riding her BMX bike and her dream is to go to the Olympics.
Lisa first got interested in BMX racing when she went to watch her cousins in a competition at the age of ten. She hired a bike there for a pound and immediately fell in love with the sport. ‘It was the best pound I ever spent,’ she says. Lisa is only 16 but she has already had lots of success, and got first prize in a world BMX competition last year.
BMX racing is quite a dangerous sport and last year Lisa broke her shoulder and her foot. This did not stop her wanting to do more competitions. She exercises every day. She rides her bike for three hours or more and sometimes she goes to the gym or the swimming pool as well.
Like many sports people, Lisa believes in luck as well as hard work. ‘My mother gave me a toy rabbit and I took it to the first competition that I won. Now I take it with me everywhere I go. I’m sure that it brings me luck because the one day I left it at home, I broke my foot!’
