What is Kingston Point BMX Raceway? 

Kingston Point BMX Raceway is a non-profit organization in the business of having FUN! It is composed strictly of volunteers dedicated to the sport of BMX. Kingston Point BMX Raceway is sanctioned by the ABA (American Bicycle Association) and races in accordance with their guidelines. Points are awarded for racing and are used to establish rankings locally and nationally. We are located in the Hudson Valley next to the Husdon River on Delaware Ave. in the City of Kingston, County of Ulster, State of New York. We have races two times per week and one night for practice. 

OK, so what's BMX? 

BMX or Bicycle MotoCross is a totally habit forming sport that involves a rider and a 16, 20 or 24 inch bicycle manuvering over a dirt track composed of multiple jumps,banked turns, etc. The sport is structured so that riders of any ability or age, including mom and dad, can participate in the action. Of Course, we do have parents that prefer to cheer from the sidelines. 

Who can race? 

If you can ride a bike and want to race...YOU CAN! Racing at Kingston Point BMX Raceway is open to anyone that wants to race, and has the required equipment (We can help!). We've had riders from 4 to 54 years old, while other tracks have reported riders as young as 3 and as old as 68. Everyone is encouraged to come out and join in the fun. 

What's this BMX track like? 

Thanks to the efforts lots of hard working volunteers our track is one of the best tracks on the East Coast. You have to see it and ride it to appreciate it. Kingston Point BMX Raceway is open for action in May of each year. 

 

This Stuff sounds pretty intimidating. Can I really do it? 

There's absolutely no pressure - really! The riders here at Kingston Point BMX Raceway are very supportive of new riders. In fact, we can assign a "buddy" to any new rider that wants assistance to help the rider through the entire process of registration, racing, trophies, etc. In addition, there are always track officials on hand to answer any questions a new rider may have. We welcome new riders at Kingston Point BMX Raceway - hey, the more riders the better the competition! 

Racers are grouped according to skill level: novice, intermediate, and expert. Riders begin as novice and must have six first place wins to move on to intermediate. From there twenty wins are required to move to Expert. Riders DO NOT have the option not to advance after the required number of wins has been reached. If your 5 or under Mom and Dad can help you on the Starting Gate also. 

I'd like to try out this BMX stuff without actually committing to a race. 

No problem! Thats why the ABA created a Trial Membership. Just have the required equipment and show up for a session. A track official will be present to get you started. Be aware, BMX is very habit forming! Just ask the racers, they can't wait for Wednesday and Saturday. (our race days).
