BMX enthusiasts are riding high after receiving a £5,000 cash boost from the National Lottery.

The Leeds BMX Club could now be in with a chance of hosting local and national competitions thanks to the grant, which will pay for improvements at the Yeadon Tarn track.

The grant will go towards electronic start gates, new coaches and first aid training.

Club Chairman Jeremy Hayes said: "We've worked hard so far on the track and this grant means we can get brilliant new facilities.
