Additionally, for safety reasons, the following accessories must be removed from the bike before riding on the track:
Mudguards,
Kick-stand

Any other accessories
By following these guidelines, riders can ensure that their bikes are safe and ready for use on the Red Centre BMX Track.
Club Bike Hire
The rental bikes are a great option for those new to the sport or visiting the area and wanting to experience the thrill of BMX racing without the need to purchase a bike.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned rider, the Red Centre BMX Club has a bike that's perfect for you.
BMX Gear
At the Red Centre BMX Club, we prioritise the safety of all our riders. To ensure that you are properly protected while racing, we require that all riders wear the following protective gear: see here to see what that looks like
Long race pants that fit snugly at the ankle
Long sleeve race jersey that is fitted at the wrist and tucked into pants
Gloves that provide complete hand and finger protection
A full face helmet that covers the ears. We have spares available for hire at the club.
Fully enclosed shoes to protect your feet
It's important to note that for our younger riders, Mini Wheelers, a normal bike helmet is suitable instead of a full face helmet.
By following these guidelines, riders can ensure that they are properly protected while racing on the Red Centre BMX Track. We understand that purchasing all this gear can be costly, so we have made it easy for you by having rental gear available for a small fee. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy the thrill of BMX racing in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, without any added stress.
