Good start to the season for Taylor Hammal

The Charge Team — Fri, 18 May 2012 09:27:52 +0000

For Taylor Hammal the first round of the season was the British Youth Nationals at Northampton, with rain leading up to the event and showers during the weekend the track was rutted and technical, the first race went very well winning the race by nearly a minute. But for the second race things didn’t go so smoothly, after a bad start he made his way to the front before the end of the first lap to then crash, after three more crashes finally finishing the race in seventh, the next three races went better with three more wins taking the overall victory.

Next meeting was down to Cornwall for the first round of the Red Bull Elite, first race went well finishing a good second, the next race was better with a win followed by another second then another win leaving the overall down to the last race, after not a great start he made his way up to second slowly catching the leader, with only a few laps remaining the leader crashed leaving Taylor to take the win and the overall.

Charge welcomes BMX freestyler Paulo Carvalho to the team.

The Charge Team — Tue, 01 May 2012 21:44:31 +0000

Paulo was born in Brazil and moved to ‘sunny’ England when he was ten. At twelve began skateboarding and when that stopped being a challenge he moved on. So took up Mountain biking always looking for a thrill and living on the edge.

Paulo explains how he got into BMX “I saw a mate of mine BMXing, so I thought I’d give it a go… I haven’t looked back. Love the sport, the adrenalin and the personal competition to be the best. Being from Brazil I was so used to being free and out in the open air at one with the environment. When I bike it’s just me and the bike, I can go anywhere and do anything, I have made some amazing friends whilst riding and cannot imagine not being able to do what I love most.

To fund my obsession I have always fixed bikes, restored the discarded and along with working in a bike shop, I have now set up my own mini-business building and spraying bikes. I love to be creative with my work and give each bike a custom finish. I’m a fun, energetic guy who is passionate about biking and dedicated to success.

Phil Burton Charges to a first round win

The Charge Team — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:20:54 +0000

4th March was the first round of the eastern centre enduro championship at Iken, Suffolk. First special test went ok, felt at bit tight as the track was flat, slippery and wasnt very cut up but ended up 4th. By the second test it was a bit more developed and I was able complete it a second faster which have me second and then third overall. I knew that I if I could clean the times on the going I would be third at worst. As the rain continued to fall for the rest of the day the times got really tight. I dropped one minute on my last check. Everyone else dropped two or more so I ended up winning the expert class by over a minute.
Great start to the season. Thanks to enduro extreme magazine, husqvanna UK, drshox suspension, recommended plumber ltd, charge clothing, renthal, oneal and rip and roll.
