What equipment do you need to get on the track?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are race specific bikes but to start all you need is any BMX bike – generally they will have 20 inch or 24 inch wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before racing on the track
* Remove any mudguards, chain guards, kick-stand, pegs and reflectors, for the safety of yourself and other riders.
* Ensure that there are no sharp edges on your handlebars (i.e. No torn grips with exposed metal) or pedals and you need a rear hand brake.
* Officials will check your bike for you and help with any minor adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you need to wear?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BMX tracks are designed for fast paced racing – at some point a crash is going to happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are race specific clothing, padding and protection that should be considered but the minimum requirements are:
* Long Pants or Track Pants that are fitted at the ankle are acceptable
* Long Sleeve Top or Race Jersey that is fitted at the wrist
* Gloves that have complete hand and finger coverage
* Full Face Helmet that covers the ears (Some clubs have loan helmets available)
* Fully enclosed shoes
* A huge smile from all the fun you will be having!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
