(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.

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
