We are a family friendly club promoting the sport of BMX racing. We encourage riders of all ages to give BMX a go. Increase your confidence, learn new skills, make new friends or get a bit fitter; come and find out what BMX racing is all about.
Where: Minogue Park, Moore Street, Forest Lake, HAMILTON
The track is open to the public when there are no events on, so please feel free to come and use the track in your own time. Please respect the track; like riding in dry weather, taking your rubbish home and looking out for other riders. Have fun!
When: Club racing night is Wednesday night
Club nights are held over the summer season – August through to May. Practising starts from 5pm. Racing starts at 6pm. Please register at the club prior to racing. The first three nights are free, then you can choose to join! There is a range of membership to suit riders. Club nights are weather dependent. Please check our Hamilton BMX Facebook for cancellations (these are usually posted by 4:30pm).
Equipment: What do you need to ride?
Riders need to wear:
- Long trousers
- Long-sleeve shirt
- Shoes
- Gloves
- Helmet – Full face helmet is required if riding from the start ramp. A normal bike helmet can be used if only riding half the track to gain confidence (riders on balance bikes or newly on pedal bikes).
You can bring your own bike, but please remove bells, stands and/or foot-pegs. This is for the safety of our riders.
BMX bikes and full face helmets are available at the club for hire at $2 per item. Gloves are also available, these are free to borrow. Hiring items is based on first-come, first-served basis and are generally for newer members trying out BMX for the first few times.
Come and have some fun at our track and race BMX!
