TRACK RULES
The following rules apply to our BMX racetrack; please make yourself aware of the rules at any track you may visit. These rules are in place for safety reasons.
I want to ride in the opposite direction of the track
A BMX race track is a one way track; please do not ride the track backwards. As we have kids of all ages riding at one time, it is sometimes hard to see who is over the other side of any obstacle. DANGEROUS COLISIONS can occur. Please do not ride backwards on the track. Not even to get to a spot to cut across.
Can I do tricks on the track?
Sorry, there is no trick riding - this includes kick-outs (where a rider kicks out his back wheel while in the air). It becomes a safety issue for other riders. You may hit another rider with your tire.
Children’s safety – what happens if they wipe out?
In the event of a fall – do not panic, there are certified first aid officials present at all times. Please advise your child that if their ego is the only thing that is hurt - to stand up and wave so that we know that they are ok. If they are hurt, tell them to stay down, we will be to them immediately.
Can I drop off my 18 year old and under and pick him up later?
NO! If there is an accident someone will need to take your child to be checked by a doctor. No child is to be left at the track without an adult’s supervision. If you cannot stay arrange with another parent to supervise you child.
I have a street bike – can I use it on the track?
Sure you can, you just need to make a few minor modifications:
- Please remove pegs, kickstand, chain guards or additional items that could fall off of the track or cause an injury in the event of a collision or crash.
If you want to make sure that your bike is safe, ask any track official to inspect it.
I would love to volunteer, but I know nothing about BMX racing
We all started out the same way . . . we learn as we go and we will help you every step of the way. Talk to a track official and they will point you in the right direction.
