New Rules for 2013:
NO NOVICES ON CLIPS!
- Novice riders of any age will no longer be allowed to race with clipless pedals. This rule was put into effect because many trainers feel that riders young & old clip in too early and are not obtaining the bike-handling skills that they will need in the future.
- Novice riders will now need 10 wins to advance to Intermediate ( instead of 8)
- Intermediate riders will advance to Expert with 20 wins ( instead of 25)
- USA BMX has increased the Memebership Renewal fee to $60 fee--this now will include Class & Cruiser for one price. Cruisers will now be allowed to compete in the Mixed Open and Open classes at the Nationals in 2013.
