BEGINNER LEAGUE
(sign up form below)
Sign up for our beginner intro and learn BMX racing!
Our beginner intro is geared to novice riders with no experience on the track! Free loaner bikes and helmets are available. Indicate on the sign up form if you need either!
Cost:
$40 and this cost is rolled into the cost of an annual license if you want to race again! The session will include 2 hours of instruction and a free race in the afternoon with a 1 day trial license. If your racer has fun and wants to race again, we can convert the 1 day license to an annual license for $40 (this is normally $80 but we will apply the lesson fee to the membership cost). The membership lasts for 365 days and is good at 300+ sanctioned BMX tracks.
When:
We have 3 dates on the calendar for April and May and will add more later. If the 3 dates do not work for you, please select the 4th option and get on the waiting list. We will get you in at some point!
If you have any questions, please email us at ChehalemValleyBMX1514@gmail.com or message us on social media.

Who is welcome?
Everyone! Kids usually transition to pedals on the track around 5 years old but we have had participants ranging from 4 to 60 years old. The rider should be able to comfortably ride on flat ground without training wheels to participate.
For kids not yet on pedals, visit the track and ask us about our free strider racing.
See you on the track!
