About Hamilton BMX

A volunteer-run BMX club at Minogue Park, Moore Street, in Forest Lake, Hamilton. It was established in December 1980, and it welcomes riders of all ages and skill levels, from balance bikes to racing. Riders as young as three start on balance bikes, and many adults race on 24-inch cruisers.

The club holds weekly club nights, racing events and coaching. Bikes, helmets and gloves can be rented on club nights, and a first three club nights are free. New riders need a BMX bike in good condition, a full-face helmet and protective gear. Event and weather updates are posted on the website, the Facebook page and the Sporty NZ app.

The club says it is one of the largest BMX clubs in New Zealand, with 32 registered clubs nationwide. It has hosted North Island Championships, including in 1997.
