British BMX Hall of Fame 2022: Pioneer Racer, Sarah Jane Nichols.
So, let’s look at the amazing career of Sarah Jane Nicholls, the one BMX racer who everyone
feared to be in the same MOTO with. In 1981 Sarah began her journey to BMX stardom, as you
would expect, by winning her first race in Southampton, and basically, she never stopped
winning, here’s some highlights. 4 x NBMXA Titles, 3 x UKBMX Titles, 4 x European Titles and a
World Championship win in 1986! Since Sarah’s departure from BMX, she earned a Karate
black belt, played Ice Hockey for Great Britain, and had a role in a TV Show called, Ice
Warriors. In 2010 Sarah quit Ice Hockey, and took up road cycling, by taking part in a charity
ride to Paris with 210 miles in the saddle! No wonder we are proud to welcome Sarah Jane
Nichols into the British BMX Hall Fame!
