We offer a ONE DAY group lesson for free. Only available to athletes who have never had a USA BMX membership at any time.
You must attend on a Saturday 8am or Monday 5pm (depending on availability) in order to work with a coach and get comfortable with our gate and racetrack. (Please check our weekly schedule for availability, sometimes we are closed for state racing once per month Oct-May) We do offer free loaner BMX Race bikes and a full face helmet for your one day trial. We sanitize our helmets and bikes daily, however, we highly recommend bringing your own full face helmet due to an abundance of caution due to the recent COVID pandemic. Contact us for recommended local and online vendors.
Once you have successfully completed your free session, you can continue your BMX Racing career by purchasing a USA BMX Annual Membership for $60 either online at www.usabmx.com or at our office upon arrival next time you attend a program at our track. With your membership you will be assigned a lifetime 8 digit serial number that will track your racing progress. We highly advise racing immediately. All riders will race as a NOVICE proficiency with their same age group with athletes that have not achieved 10 wins. Continue to train once or twice weekly at our Novice Classes (Monday and Saturday). The more you train and race the faster you get
