Getting Started with BMX Racing |
Membership |
When you come out to SB BMX, you will need to fill out an NBL membership application. NBL membership is $45.00 per year, beginning on the day you sign-up. We offer a 30 day trial membership for $30.00. Should you decide to continue, an additional $15.00 will convert you over for the one year membership beginning on the day you sign-up. Memberships includes secondary insurance coverage. Proof of age must accompany the application. Also, if you are signing up with a friend, it is MANDATORY that you bring a document from the parents giving you permission to sign as a Legal Guardian. This document is therefore attached to the application. It is very important that you do not loose any of the paper work that you receive from the track office. You must provide a proof of membership each time you come out to the track. |

Class Racing |
Actual races are conducted in classes. Those classes are based on age and skill level (rookie, novice, expert). In other words beginners race with beginners of their own age. In order to receive race points, you must bring a copy of the rider's Birth Certificate. |
