steve peach
Steve is a BMX dad first and foremost, and the founder of The Stoke Park. For the past seven years, he has been deeply involved in BMX, supporting his son on his journey while learning alongside him. Through that experience, and the strong community built around the sport, he developed a passion for helping others take their first steps into BMX.
The Stoke Park is driven by a vision to create a dream indoor skatepark, a space where riders of all ages and abilities can come together. From that vision, Drop Inn BMX Club was established, giving new riders the chance to learn and helping to grow a vibrant local BMX scene.
His approach focuses on the fundamentals: learning the basics, having fun, and enjoying every moment on the bike. He believes that when riders enjoy the process, confidence grows and skills develop naturally. Steve is a qualified British Cycling Coach, equipped with the knowledge and experience to deliver high-quality grassroots BMX sessions that support riders from their very first ride.
Founder & Coach
nick hart
With over 20 years of BMX experience, Nick Hart lives and breathes two wheels and high-speed adrenaline.
A lifelong rider, Nick is known for his love of teaching others the ins and outs of BMX — from the basics to advanced tricks.
His favorite move? The truck driver — a perfect mix of style and control. When he’s not on the bike, you’ll find him wrenching on cars or diving deep into the world of engines.
For Nick, it’s all about the ride — whether it’s pedals or horsepower.
