Hi, I’m Jim (mostly known as Jimbob) and I’m Head Coach at SEND-IT! BMX ACADEMY.

I am hugely passionate about all things BMX race related and to be truthful, I’ve always loved anything with wheels… Motorbikes, classic VWs, Drift Trikes, Mountain Bikes, Skateboards, Roller Skates… (you can see the theme). 

I’ve competed at National and Regional BMX race events and much to my own surprise, for the last few years I’ve been ranked both first and second in the South West. BMX racing has become a major part of my life and has inspired me to share my passion with others, which in turn, has led me into BMX race coaching.  


The positive impact that BMX has had on all aspects of my life has been huge. Now through SEND-IT! BMX Academy I can bring the same benefits that this adrenaline sport can offer physically, mentally and socially to others. 

Let’s Ride it Out & SEND-IT! 

See you on the track! 👊
