BMX Riderz – Racing
Who can do it? What do I need? | BMX racing is open to all ages! Appropriate pads, knees and elbows are essential. |
How long is the race? | A BMX race is very short and sharp. For a professional they typically last about 30 seconds. You could expect a new/young athlete to complete a race in 1-2 minutes. |
What does it look like? | It looks the exact same to what the professionals use! Lots of bike pumping, some jumps and very fast and quick! |
Go-Ride and Regionals? | Various Club races at Cumbernauld centurions & Western Titans BMX clubs. Scottish regional BMX series – 6 rounds of novice & expert racing from March to August. Scottish national champs – June Scottish Open – September Also good races at the north region BMX series which runs throughout the same time frame. Good racing and a step up for riders wanting a bigger challenge before entering national competitions! |
National events? (BMX in Scotland is a small community so ‘National’ for us is UK wide) | HSBC BMX UK National series – (expert riders only – no novice racing) takes place from march – august all over the UK. Always one round held in Scotland. The pinnacle of UK BMX racing. Great, competitive racing from age 6 and up! |
British events? | The British BMX Championships – usually last bank holiday weekend in august at a venue in England. Qualification is gained by competing at 5 rounds of a regional series at expert level. A fantastic event with over 1000 riders taking part. 2022 was in Bournemouth. |
