The Alberta Bicycle Association is excited to announce "BMX Day in Alberta" - a Province-wide initiative aimed at promoting the Olympic sport of BMX racing while encouraging new participants to give BMX a try. The event is scheduled for Sunday May 26th and will be hosted by various BMX tracks across the Province.
Shane Peterson, Alberta Bicycle Association VP of BMX adds:
"BMX Day in Alberta is an event that was initiated by Alberta Bicycle
Association (in collaboration with Alberta BMX), to allow parents and children
the opportunity to experience BMX Racing without the necessity of purchasing an
annual license, protective race gear or even a bike. By dropping by one
of our participating Alberta tracks, people new to the sport can experience BMX
racing at their own pace, on a world class track, but with the guidance of
experienced racers, BMX Coaches and involved BMX parents. The local BMX
race club will supply everything needed for a fun day on the track. BMX
racing - we do it for the fun of it."
The event will be open to riders aged 5 and up. Don't have a bike? Never ridden a BMX track? No problem! Local tracks will have loaner bikes and safety equipment available for those in need. Local club representatives will be on site to answer all questions and introduce new riders to basic BMX cycling skills.
