RACE PLATES

Once CHALLENGE riders have applied for a BMXNZ Licence you can be allocated a plate number from the club’s list of available numbers. Plates are available to purchase through the club. Or they are available for sale from Crank House in Hornby.

If the rider is a SPROCKET, the first time you apply for a Licence BMXNZ will give you a Sprocket plate. Number plates come in different colours, depending on which category you race:

• SPROCKETS: White plate, red numbers
  
• CHALLENGE MALE: (20” wheels) Yellow plate, black numbers
  
• CHALLENGE FEMALE: (20”wheels) Blue plate, white numbers​​​​​​​
  
• CRUISER: (24” wheels) Red plate, white numbers

RACE GEAR

With so many brands and options out there it can be tough to find the right gear. To get started you just need to be fully covered including gloves and most importantly a full faced helmet – We do have a limited number of helmets available to have a go and see if you like racing.

RACE BIKE

BMX race bikes are made to be strong, but also light meaning they are fast on the BMX tracks. The tyres on the kids BMX bikes are thin helping with keeping the bike light and fast.
