Hello rider families:
We hope that you are well and have been safe during these crazy times.
New York State has been leading the way in the fight against the Corona Virus. The safety of NYers and our rider families is a priority. We are faced with balancing that safety and the sustainability of our beloved tracks and facilities within the constraints of NY State mandates and CDC Guidelines.
We have not posted on Social Media or on our website, not because we had nothing to say or were doing nothing, but because the rules, mandates and guidelines change almost constantly. Cycling, specifically BMX racing, was not included in any documentation, guidelines, or opening phases until very recently.
At this time, we are asking for your continued patience. We have put protocols in place to meet NY State’s mandates and CDC’s Guidelines, but it remains unclear as to what capacity we will be permitted to race. Our plan is to open but we are waiting for clarification from the state and USABMX.
We have recently seen negative posts on Social Media. While we understand frustration and respect individual rights to voice opinions, we are personally asking that any posts or correspondence pertaining to BMX racing, the restrictions on racing, and Champion BMX specifically, be done in a positive, respectful and constructive way.
We will be publishing our protocol for being at the track as well as any specific information regarding racing and the NY race series shortly. We very much look forward to seeing you at the track!
We will race again!
