Can I ride at the track when racing is not on?

The great thing about BMX Clubs in South QLD most are open 24/7 which means you can practice anytime unless Organised club Activities are in progress.  If this is the case riders must vacate the track unless notified otherwise.

Should I get BMX Coaching for my Child ?

For fast development and limit avoidable crashes we recommend using our Accredited BMX instructors. The Logan City BMX track has been specifially designed for safe Rider progression. Back in the day BMX Coaching was not essential because tracks were a lot easier to ride and Kids were more Active.

Nowadays Tracks are Technical and majority of Riders lack the Physically ability to control the bike correctly. Logan City BMX Academy has created the Perfect Environment for riders of all levels to understand the fundamentals which fast tracks the riders careers and eliminates unnecessary crashes.
