Club Membership  

Manukau Taniwha BMX Club membership covers a 12 month period from January to December. A discounted rate is offered to those that join between September and December. The race season is from September to April. 

We are affiliated to BMX New Zealand and it is a requirement of BMX NZ that our members also hold a BMX NZ licence. 

NEW CLUB MEMBERS 

New riders must provide a copy of their Birth Certificate or Passport as proof of age and citizenship. They also must complete the BMXNZ Licence Form found at the top right of this page.

Membership Types

There are six membership types.

Have-a-go 

This is a limited licence to allow new riders to try the sport for a minimal cost. For $35 the rider can participate in training and club nights for 4 weeks (non-consecutive is OK). It includes the hire of a bike, helmet and gloves. The first time is free, then it's $35 for the next three sessions.

Strider

This is for riders under 5 years old who ride on a pedalless strider bike.

Regional 

A Regional licence allows you to attend club nights at Manukau Taniwha BMX Club and any other northern region club. Regional license holders are allowed to enter some weekend race meetings (category 9 & 10 meetings), held within the northern region). Upgrading from a Regional to a Challenge license can be done at any time. 

Kiwi Sprocket 

A Kiwi Sprocket Licence is for children under eight years old (as at 31-Dec). There is no scoring or placing and all riders receive the same awards / trophies.

Challenge

A Challenge licence allows you to attend club nights at Manukau Taniwha BMX Club and other clubs and also participate in weekend race meetings at BMX clubs throughout New Zealand. 

Championship

For Elite and Junior Elite riders. (e.g. really fast riders 17yrs and over who race internationally)

Membership Terms and Conditions

• I accept that the BMX club is run by volunteers, who are busy people just like myself.  Running a BMX club night or event requires a lot of volunteers.  I may from time to time be asked to help out by way of working bees, club night assistance, BBQ, track marshalling, raffles, fundraising etc.  I will endeavour to help out wherever possible for the good of the club and the riders.  It is a condition of membership that each family must contribute something back to the club in the way of volunteer assistance.
• I apply to BMX New Zealand Inc. (BMX NZ) for a license for either myself, or a person aged less than 16 years for whom I am a parent or guardian.  
• I understand that payment of fees does not constitute membership of the Manukau Taniwha BMX Club. The club executive committee will vote on accepting my application. If it is rejected fees will be refunded in full. 
• I understand that the BMXNZ license covers the calendar year.
• I understand that my license application cannot be submitted to BMX NZ until I have paid the fees and uploaded proof of age (either a birth certificate or passport)
• I agree (either for myself or on behalf of the person for whom I am a parent or guardian) to comply with the BMXNZ rules* with respect to all BMX activities. I understand that I am responsible for my own actions while participating in BMX activities.
• I agree to abide by the BMXNZ Code of Conduct** for both rider and parent (if applicable).
• I agree that neither Manukau Taniwha BMX Club nor BMXNZ accepts any responsibility for damage or injury caused to any person or property while participating in any activity within the confines of the BMX track.
