BMX Racing
BMX Racing is an explosive, high-speed cycling sport. Riders compete on a dirt track with jumps and banked corners.
BMX racing takes place on a growing number of purpose-built outdoor and indoor tracks throughout the country. Made from compacted dirt and tarmac, tracks are around 400 metres long and feature a large starting ramp, banked corners (berms) and a variety of jumps including tabletops, gap jumps and rhythm sections.
Riders can complete the course in under forty seconds.
The Olympic standard track at Manchester’s National BMX Centre is unique in the UK, an indoor track with an eight-metre high start ramp.
