Cedar Heights BMX So you want to be a BMXer.
In BMX Racing, all
racers are matched by three classes; Novice, Intermediate, and Expert.
As a new member/ racer to BMX, you will be matched
with your age and class to compete against. a 20", or class racer
will start out as a novice, needing 8 first place wins to upgrade to intermediate
class. After reaching intermediate class, 25 first place wins are
needed to become an expert racer. If there’s not enough to
make a moto, then you will be bumped up to the next available age
group of the same class. Rule books are available to new members or on
the
ABA's
web site.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
Helmet -Full face helmets are best, but any can be
used.
Long sleeve shirts.
Long pants, no shorts allowed.
Any bike with 20” wheels or
smaller for class racing.
Any bike with 24” wheels or larger for Cruiser racing.
We have several track bike for the public to use if anyone wants to try out the sport before getting in to it.
Sponsorships are available. Ask how to get
sponsored.
The ABA has a one day, free membership, for one time
trial racing.
We love
to teach the nuts and bolts of BMX racing, and free classes will be
held to ABA members.
Felt bikes, Chainwheel bikes, and Cedar Heights BMX will hold every month, free BMX clinics to teach all riders the techniques of BMX, the skills to control their bikes, and gain speed safely. Chainwheel bike shop will send it's own premier BMX racer, to hold the clinics. It's our goal to have fun in this sport, and we never want to see anyone get hurt simply because they just didn't know how to ride a BMX track.
All you need to get started is a $45.00 membership fee to the
ABA for the whole year . This will include your first race with
Trophy, insurance, and a subscription to the BMXer
magazine. The BMXer magazine gives you all the information about upcoming races, and
your standing in the point system. A second membership is $35.00.
Then at Cedar Heights BMX, to race you have a choice
between a trophy @ $8.00, or a ribbon @ $5.00 per race.
As a member of the ABA you may race at any ABA sanctioned track
anywhere, in any state, or at any series race. Series racing such as Nationals, State
races, Redline Cup, and so on.
Do you, or your kids want to have great fun, and get
into shape too?
How about build self esteem? Lets not forget confidence in accomplishment.
Dangerous? Far less than being hit with a baseball, or a line backer. Do your kids ride on the street? Remember on a BMX track there are no cars speeding by.
A great aspect of BMX is that there is no obligation
to be there all the time like in traditional team sports. Just show up
on race days when you can make it, and have fun.
There is one thing to consider before you start,
like anything in life you have to build your skills first. Skills are
easy to learn. Never Give up! The people you can't beat only
make you faster!!!
Now! The only thing left is to do, is Just Do It!
