BMX Racing Membership Types
The age class that a rider is eligible to ride in is based on their age on 31-December for the year. You can calculate by their UCI age by deducting the year of birth from the current year. For example, if a rider was born in 2017 then 2025 – 2017 = 8, therefore the rider races in the UCI 8 age group irrespective of whether their birthday is in January, December or somewhere in between.
Strider ($20) – UCI age 4 and below
A Strider membership is for all riders of non-pedal bikes. Strider riders can take part in Club skills-based training programs. The licence is a digital license (no card will be issued), and it will be available online for race event registrations. A strider race plate is provided. This licence is valid only while they are on a strider bike. The rider will need to upgrade to a Sprocket License when they either turn 5 years old OR move to a pedal bike.
Kiwi Sprocket Rocket ($100) – up to and including UCI age 7
Sprocket riders may take part in a skill-based training program run by the Club coaches based on the Kiwi Sprocket Rocket guidebook. Sprocket Licensed riders may enter all BMX NZ sanctioned meetings and must wear their BMX NZ supplied Sprocket number plate. When a rider is eligible to ride UCI age 8, they will apply for a Regional or Challenge Licence as at 1 January.
Regional ($100) – UCI age 8 and over
This membership includes a limited race License, only allowing riders to participate in events within the Wellington region at Club and Inter-club meetings. Regional licence holders are not eligible to enter National Qualifying Meets (NQMs). This is an ideal license for those just starting out in BMX. Upgrading to a Challenge License can be done at any time by application through the Club.
Challenge ($150) – UCI age 8 and over
A Challenge Licence may be issued to riders for all Challenge 20” and Cruiser classes UCI age 8 and over. A holder of a Challenge Licence may participate in Club meetings at any of the 32 BMX clubs in NZ. A Challenge rider is permitted to enter all BMX NZ sanctioned meetings including NQMs.
