Q&A

What safety gear must I bring? - We believe in safety gear and how it minimises unnecessary grazes, bumps, bruises and discomfort. We require each participating rider to be wearing full safety gear so as to engage the ultimate BMX gravity dream track with full confidence and safety. Please bring a full-face helmet, goggles, gloves, closed in shoes, knee guards, elbow guards, long pants and a long sleeve t-shirt or jersey. We have all the RAD gear, helmets, elbow and knee guards available on-site to purchase if there are safety items you don’t yet have.

What if my BMX bike is wonky, broken or has flat tyres? - Just bring it with you as we have a qualified BMX mechanic on-site with spare parts available to purchase with the BMX mechanic also available to fix anything you require on-site for an industry compliant fee.

What if I don’t have a BMX bike and we can’t afford the money to buy a BMX bike or the safety gear? - Don’t let this stop you, we have complimentary BMX bikes and the full safety gear to make sure you can join in, engage and have fun.
