Thousands set to tear up the dirt track

SHEPPARTON has proved to be a hotspot of BMX competition over the years, and now the town will see thousands of competitors hitting the local tracks for the BMX Australia National Championships.

With practices held over the past couple of days, as well as the BMXA Pro Spectacular held this Wednesday afternoon, Shepparton will be full to the brim with BMX riders from all across the nation. The real action kicks off tomorrow with the cruiser and sprocket class Australian titles, Friday and Saturday will see even more championship classes, with many of the elite riders representing the Greater Shepparton area.

The Shepparton BMX Club has been extremely busy setting up and preparing for this huge event over the past few months, which included the completion of a new eight metre starting hill that will be tackled this weekend.

Head out and show your support to the many hometown participants at the Shepparton BMX Club. There is also food, coffee, and several pro shops open throughout the week. Entry to the event in free, with parking around the track $2.
