Overview

The History of Portland BMX Club

Initially The Portland BMX Club was located in Wellington Road - South Portland for some thirty years and was relocated to Alexander Park in 2005 for a major redevelopment to hold the 2005 State Titles.
The Portland BMX Club is about involvement in cycling generally, rider safety, rider development and encouraging healthy lifestyles. Regular competitors at The Portland BMX Track are from local, interstate aging from 4 and over 60 years of age. The ages of current competitive members of The Portland BMX Club range from 5 years to 40+ years of age with both genders being catered for.
Currently the Portland BMX Club has 46 Members and is increasing every year.

Each year riders from The Portland BMX Club attended the National Championships across Victoria, with riders bringing home National Plates.

These riders are a product of BMX Victoria’s competition, having competed on Victorian tracks with UCI credentials, demonstrating the potential of Victorian’s in this sport - if they have access to the right training track.

Currently competition in the South West Victoria region involves different classes. The category a rider is eligible to ride is determined by his age which shall be calculated by deducting the year of the birth from the current year.
Challenge class:
Sprockets (4 – 7 years)
Junior – (8 – 10 years)
Intermediate (11 – 13 years)
14+ - (14 years and over)
Cruiser class: – (Junior, Intermediate and Senior riders).

The Portland BMX Club also has a commitment to its members who have a disability, making their integration into club activities as easy as possible, and offering them the opportunity of equity, broadening horizons, and has realistic visions of expanding, and developing its membership to be champions at their own level in the sport of BMX.

The Portland BMX Club is about family and fun, and currently sees fathers still competing whilst their children are doing the same.
