Ballygally schoolboy Elliot Lynd celebrates success on the motocross circuit
A Ballygally schoolboy has seen remarkable success on the motocross circuit at just eight years of age.
Moyle Primary School Elliot Lynd is looking forward to the season ahead after winning the MRA Ulster Motocross Championship in September 2025.
Elliot also finished second overall at the Irish MX Masterkids Championship, held across Sperrin MX Park and Magilligan Moto Park.
Meanwhile, he qualified to represent Ireland at the MXGB Junior Championship. After a steady first day’s racing, he finished second in his final race of the series against 40 of the fastest auto riders in the UK, securing ninth overall in the championship.
This was Elliot’s first year competing in the Ulster, Irish and British championships. He returned to riding at the end of 2024 after taking a year out of the sport.
Elliot has now moved onto a Yamaha YZ65 and will compete this season in the Ulster Championship and the Plews Tyres Irish Motocross Championship in the 65cc Cadet class.
