Getting started in BMX is easy and we put this page together in order to help:
The first things you need:
- A bicycle - any BMX type and size will do, races will have 20 inch and 24 inch wheeled bikes.
When calling your local track, you`ll need to want to ask six questions:
- How do I get to your track?
- What time are your sign-up and practice times?
- What time do you begin racing?
- How much will it cost to begin racing?
Once you have your bike, the location of the nearest track, and when they run, there are two simple checklists to follow.
Your Bike:
- Make sure all bolts are tight - especially your axle and stem bolts.
- Remove any freestyle type axle pegs.
- All reflectors/brackets must be removed for safety purposes.
- If your bike has a kickstand, it must be taken off.
- You will eventually need a numberplate. You will be provided a temporary numberplate with your membership purchase.
Clothing and safety equipment:
- Long sleeve shirt.
- Long pants or jeans.
- A helmet. We recommends a full-face helmet.
- We have "loaner helmets" for beginners to use.
- Any enclosed shoe is sufficient. Skateboard style shoes are suggested.
Now that you have everything ready, we`ll see you at the track!
You do not need to be a member to practice at any of our events at any time, You will need a parents signature on a waver.
If you do plan to race, ask about our new membership specials!!!
