How to BMX

Here are some youtube video clips that will give you an idea about some of the skills used in BMX racing. This list is not complete and is only intended as a primer and to introduce some of the common terms you'll hear at the track.

More links will be posted as time permits. Or send suggestions to webmaster@vernonbmx.com

Any questions? Come down to the track during Monday practices and we'll be glad to answer them.

We are also there to help you practice the skills shown here.

The Starting Gate
One of the most important components of a BMX race. Be the first to leave the gate and your chances of winning the race go way up...

Corners
Lots of chances to gain or lose in the corners. Some lines are better than others...

Pumping
This is one of the first skills new riders should learn. This is the fast way around a BMX track...

Still searching for a good clip. Will post one soonest.

Manualling
An important skill for intermediate to expert riders. Novices riders don't need to know this one right away...
