NUMBER PLATES & TRANSPONDERS
When membership is complete, riders will need to source a number plate for their bike. Strider and Sprocket plates are provided by BMXNZ which you obtain from your club. Any other license plates can be organised through the club or on your own (you can personalize your plate). There are number plate regulations like specific colour for race classes or the number has to be between 50-999 etc. Refer to BMXNZ rule book - BMX New Zealand - BMXNZ Sport Resources
Challenge and Championship riders are required to have a transponder for race meets. Transponders record the time it takes for a rider to complete the race. Transponders cost $95.30 up front (including a one year membership with MyLaps) which can be ordered on the licence form.
