Southside BMX Club is a well-established sports club located in Bull Creek, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The club was founded in 1980 and has since become a thriving community of BMX enthusiasts.
The club offers BMX racing training and events for riders of all ages and skill levels. To participate in training or racing, individuals must obtain an AusCycling membership. This can be done online through the AusCycling website. New members should take note that the club does not provide loaner BMX race bikes for training purposes.
For those interested in training with one of Southside BMX Club's coaches, information, and contact details can be found on their website. Additionally, the club offers a 4-week free trial membership for those who want to test the waters before committing to a full membership. After the trial period, members must sign up for an annual AusCycling membership, with prices varying depending on age and membership type.
Racing at Southside BMX Club requires a race number, which can be obtained after completing the 4-week free trial membership or by signing up for a full-year membership. Race numbers must be between two and three digits and should not start with the number zero. The club suggests using significant dates, such as birthdays, as inspiration for choosing a personalised race number.
Membership cards from AusCycling must be presented at each race day for registration. They can be saved on a smartphone's wallet app for convenience. Transponders, which record lap times for each race, can be rented for an additional fee. However, they are not necessary for Mini Wheelers, 5/6/7 & Under Sprockets age classes.
Transponders can be purchased from local bicycle shops or online through MYLAPS.
Southside BMX Club welcomes new members and encourages those interested to visit the club on race days. The friendly staff at the canteen can assist with any inquiries and guide individuals through the registration process. Membership with the club is not limited to Southside BMX Club alone, as it is valid at any other club in Perth and Australia.
Join Southside BMX Club and become part of a vibrant community of BMX enthusiasts in Perth. Explore the thrill and excitement of BMX racing while enjoying the support and camaraderie of fellow riders.
