BMX racing is an all out sprint, on a pedal bike, through a track generally shaped like a "W", averaging 1100 feet in length, made of clay, with a start hill, jumps, humps, table tops, three high banked corners, four straight away’s, and a finish line. There are many tracks through out the US and currently 9 in Michigan. Each being different, but over all similar. On race day each rider will compete in at least three races, which are broke down by age and proficiency. BMX racing teaches responsibility, discipline, good sportsmanship, and builds self esteem! It's an individual sport that does not frown on missing a race or practice. In BMX nobody sits the bench! BMX racing is fun for the whole family. If your not on the track racing, you might be fixing a bike, tying a shoe, or just enjoying watching. If you would like to be more involved we have several volunteer positions as the whole program is run by volunteers. BMX racing and the NBL are highly known for the family friendly atmosphere! www.gtcbmx.com
