COME TRY BMX:

Before you commit to being ALL IN - come try the track on a 1 Day Trial Pass - Check in at our track office to register. Best days to come try the track are Open track days, or practice time before race night.

There are a few things you NEED:

  • wear a long sleeve shirt

  • full length pants, but NOT denim

  • full faced helmet

  • full fingered gloves

  • If your bike has pegs and/or reflectors, they must be removed.

Don’t have a bike to use? - we have some at the track you can borrow for the night. We have some extra jerseys and race pants and gloves you can borrow (sizing maybe limited)

**If you need equipment, It is a first come first serve basis and we will only allow each rider to borrow our equipment up to 5 times. - We are limited to the sizes and number of items we have.
