Have A Go

Capital BMX invites new riders to ‘Have a Go’ at up to three Club Days for free. This includes the hire of a BMX race bike, a full-face helmet and full-fingered gloves. No other fancy gear needed.

JUST STARTING OUT? THREE FREE HAVE A GOs!

When you’re ready to join the club, head over to Membership to find out how to apply.

What to Bring

Wear a long-sleeved top, long pants, shoes and socks. Elbow and knee pads are recommended if you have them. “Cover all skin” is a good motto, whether you’re riding with us on a club event, or just checking your skills on the track.

It is also worth bringing a water bottle and a snack, ‘cos it’s thirsty work lapping the track; although we have a tuck shop at the admin container, so you won’t run out of sugar!

What to Expect

Have A Go’s usually start when the track opens at 9.30am on Sunday mornings and run until around 10.15am before racing starts. Riders should show up early to get the most out of the experience. You can check out our Facebook page for start times. There are volunteer riders and coaches around to get you up and going.

Parents and riders should check in at the container at the end of the track. We get your rider suited up with a bike, helmet and gloves.

Lets Roll!

We usually assess riding ability on the final straight of the track.

Balance bike riders are always welcome , we have cones setup for riders to test their skills. If your rider is just starting out, Have A Go’s can be a great experience to improve their riding ability and bike skills. One of our coaches will be on hand to aid in getting your riders up and rolling.

Once your riders skills are to a basic level of riding and they are feeling more comfortable and in control standing up on their pedals, we progress onto the track. We usually start from the final corner and move corner by corner until they fell comfortable with the whole track; including the start hill.
