Bulwell Winter Series Round 7

All you need is a BMX or Mountain Bike and some safety gear. See the Race Meeting article for more details. We hold regular weekly sessions at the track. Sometimes we run race meetings and sometimes practice sessions, called gate practice. Sometimes we travel to race meetings at other clubs. We also have occasional coaching sessions for when you want to get a bit more serious about developing good race techniques. See the club news and the events sections of this website for more details on current activities.

There are 25 different race categories in BMX, so whatever your age or experience, there’s something for everyone. BMX racing began twenty years ago in the USA, and after a lull, has regained it’s popularity. In fact, BMX makes it’s debut as an official Olympic sport at the 2008 Beijing games and again at the London olympics in 2012 - so who knows - we might end up seeing you on the telly!
