THE DOUBLE POINT RACE at the DACONO BMX track has been rescheduled to September 17^th Registration is from 12-1p.m.

WHAT IS BMX?
BMX is currently the fastest growing youth sport in America and is now an Olympic sport.

The sport of BMX was created by kids, for kids. Back in the early 1970’s a group of young riders were pretending to be their favorite motorcycle racing heroes by “racing” around a vacant dirt lot, twisting the imaginary throttle while they peddled their bicycles. Thus, BMX was born.

A typical race around a BMX track will last about 50 seconds putting a rider against up to 7 other riders all going for the gold. Races are organized according to age group and skill levels, so everyone gets the opportunity to compete on a fair level.

BMX offers every rider the ability to participate at his or her own pace… NO ONE SITS ON THE BENCH!! There are no coaches deciding who gets to play- everyone gets into the action.

Low cost family entertainment.
For many families, BMX racing becomes a weekly ritual. The average entry fee is good for a full evening of racing and spectators are always FREE. Everyone is welcome to come and cheer on the racer (or racers) in the family or other friends. It is also quite common to see mom, dad, brother and sister ALL racing within their own classes. BMX is a true family-oriented sport proving that you don’t have to spend a lot to enjoy an activity together.

Who will I race?
One fundamental aspect of BMX racing is that participants will compete with others their same age and skill level. Unlike other sports, BMX offers three proficiencies per age: Novice, Intermediate, and Expert. New riders are classified as Novice as their ability increases, they will move through the skill levels. This structure ensures that riders will consistently encounter the fairest level of competition while always being challenged.

It’s easy to get involved!!
ANY bike can be outfitted to suit BMX. This includes the beginner bike with smaller wheels or the mountain bike with gears. However, a few adjustments may be required to make them a bit safer. Each bike needs to have padding on the handlebar crossbar, the stem and top of the tube of the frame. Also, the kickstand and any reflector brackets will need to be removed, adding to the safety aspect. Riders are only required to wear long pants, long sleeve shirts, enclosed shoes and a helmet, (no fancy uniforms or special type of clothing is required.)

Why BMX?
BMX builds self-esteem. It teaches kids about setting and reaching goals. It provides physical fitness. Developing strong minds and bodies in today’s youth. It offers discipline. Helps kids to focus energy in a positive direction. But most of all, its fun for the entire family!!
