2020 BMX East Region AGM

Meeting notes 22/1/18

BMX racing is an action packed, sprint sport where racers compete against each other on purpose-built outdoor and indoor tracks of around 400m long, beginning with a Start Hill and are littered with jumps and obstacles.

BMX race meetings are relentless, all-day action, which begin with qualifying heats, called ‘motos’. Up to eight riders contest each moto, before moving on through further knockout rounds until the final, which decides the overall winner. Races usually last well under a minute and are run off in quick succession, meaning that it’s an exciting non-stop day for riders and spectators alike.

It’s not necessarily a cycle sport that requires membership of a club, BMX riding is often learnt in gardens, local parks and on the streets before the riders feel confident to start BMX racing with a local club for real.
