What you will need to start:
Most racers start with their 20" bike by removing the chain guard, kick stand, reflectors
and pegs.
There is also a cruiser class for those riders with 24" bikes.
Who will I race?
Races are organized into separate girls and boys classes then subdivided into age
groups and skill levels. The age groups range from 5 and under to 51 and over classes.
Within these age groups are three skill levels: Novice, Intermediate and Expert. All riders
start as novices and work up to the more advanced levels by winning races.
How much does it cost?
Once you have become an ABA member the only cost will be the race day entry fee. The
entry fee entitles you to be a participant in the day's actions. A typical BMX race includes
2 or 3 qualifying motos along with the main event. In the main event, you race for awards
(stamps or trophies), determined by your finish, along with the precious ABA points. Most
races at Sand Springs BMX are $7-$10.
New riders at Sand Springs BMX who purchase of full membership will receive a
Congratulations 1st time rider trophy, no matter how you place your first race. These are
awarded during intermission.

Tips for parents of new riders:

If you have a younger child, try to get them up on the gate for the 1st time with other
riders their age and size.  The gate can be intimidating for the younger riders, but
being up there with riders their size seems to help ease them into it.

Please feel free to ask anyone out at the track if you have questions.  You will find that
most everyone will be very helpful in making sure you and your child have a great time
at the track.

We have races for girls and boys with age groups that range from 5 and under
to 45 and over.
