BMX racing is an exciting sport for all ages where riders race BMX bikes on a dirt track featuring jumps, berms (banked corners), and rhythm sections. It's a fun, action-packed, and challenging activity for individuals and families.

Safety is our priority! To ride at the track, you must wear:

• Helmet: A full-face helmet is highly recommended, and mandatory for racing and gate practice.

• Clothing: Long sleeve shirt and long pants made from tear resistant fabric (no jeans or track pants).

• Gloves: Full finger gloves to protect your hands.

• Shoes: Enclosed shoes to protect your feet.

Yes! Keep an eye out for our "Come and Try" days, which are designed for newcomers to experience BMX racing. You can also visit during a general practice or racing to spectate at any time. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates on these events.

Northern BMX has partnered with ECI store to assist members in gearing up to hit the track! Use the code "northernbmx" at the checkout for an exclusive club discount!

BMX racing is for everyone! From Balance Bike riders as young as 2 years old, all the way to seasoned adults, brand new beginners to pro cyclists, Northern BMX Club welcomes riders of all ages and abilities.

All riders should be sure to have the following organised for competition:

• A colour coded numberplate

• A timing transponder (for riders 8+ in competitive categories)

• A valid race licence from AusCycling

BMX racing is a year-round individual sport, which means riders can join at any time! Racing across the country begins in January and ends in December, usually only breaking for a couple of weeks. No need to wait to join in the fun!
