New Riders

Welcome to the fast-paced sport of BMX. This pack has been put together to ease you into what can be a complicated process of setting yourself up to enjoy this fabulous, life-changing activity.

Getting Started in BMX

BMX racing is a fantastic sport because it caters for all ages from 2 years and up. Various club point score competitions are run throughout the year but you can start racing at any time.  Slightly more experienced riders can race at other tracks and quickly progress to 'open' competition at State or National level.

Many families participate, even Mum & Dad can ride or race! It's a brilliant sport for girls, too!  

Equipment

You will need a full-face helmet (we have some you can borrow when first starting out), BMX bike of any description, long-sleeved shirt, gloves (we have some you can borrow when first starting out), long pants and joggers. 

Any accessories will need to be removed from your bike e.g. reflectors, chain guards, bells, etc.

Fees and Licencing

All riders must be licensed before they can ride at any club sanctioned event. This includes racing, coaching, gates nights etc. Go to www.bmxaustralia.com.au and click on Membership to see licensing options & current fees.

REMEMBER: Every day's a great day for a RIDE!
