Come on out to 80/35 BMX in Ewing Park on Thursday, May 12 for a FREE "give-it-a-try" Open House event, especially for new families to learn about and experience the sport of BMX Racing. The event runs 6:00PM-7:30PM.

Our Beginners-only Spring 2021 League starts Thurs May 19 (6:00PM-8:30PM), and runs for five weeks (ending June 16).

The Open House is the perfect opportunity to learn about the sport, and get in on an activity that is all-about fun, fitness and family. For more info on the League, or to enroll, visit:

The Open House is open to boys and girls 4-15 years, and moms, dads and grandparents of riders. A “Beginner” is someone who has never raced BMX.

Here’s a rundown of how the Open House will be structured:

For Riders

- Kids will enjoy a “roll-around” on the track, supervised by our league coach and on-track volunteers. This is an "appetizer portion" of the fun to be had in the League. Each League session also includes racing as part of the program.

For Parents

- Watch from the stands, or grab your bike, air up the tires and join the fun with your kids. - When it comes time to sign up for the League, parents ride for $50-off the regular tuition. - After a tour of the facility, we will give parents a briefing on how the League format works, and you'll have the opportunity to enroll on-site, if you so-choose.

For the Whole Family

-A welcome message from 80/35 BMX League staff.

-Firsthand stories from BMX families on what the sport of BMX Racing has done for them.

-Group and personal Q&A time to answer all your questions.

What to Bring/What to Wear for Riders

- Long sleeves, jeans, "gym" shoes

- A bike without reflectors, chain guard and/or pegs.

- A helmet

*We have a limited number of loaner bikes and helmets, so if you do not have a bike or helmet of your own, please sign up and come out, and we will work it out.

**IMPORTANT**

Riders must be able to ride a pedal bike without training wheels to participate. We offer a "Balance Bike" program for kids that are not-yet riding a pedal bike on some race nights, but it is not part of the League program.

Get the kids off the couch and on a bike! Race BMX...America's fastest-growing family sport!

Create one ticket per RIDER. Family members not riding do not need a ticket.
