NEW TO BMX?

Reaper Racing is built around purposeful work, shared responsibility, and supporting every rider as one team. New families can begin by meeting the coaches, asking questions, and taking each step at a comfortable pace.

A current USA BMX membership is required for sanctioned racing and may be required by tracks for practice. Keep the rider’s membership information available and confirm the event’s registration requirements before traveling.

Riders are grouped into motos. Each moto begins at the starting gate, continues over the track’s straights and turns, and finishes at the scoring line. Results determine who advances to later rounds and the main event.

A well-fitting BMX race bike helps a rider feel balanced and confident. Rider height, inseam, reach, experience, and strength all matter. Use the Bike & Gear guide and ask a coach before making a major purchase.

Bring a properly fitted full-face helmet, long sleeves, long pants, gloves, and closed-toe shoes. Confirm current track and sanction rules, inspect equipment before riding, and replace damaged protective gear.

Arrive early with the bike, helmet, riding gear, water, and membership information. Check in with the track, meet the coach, and let the rider learn the course progressively. The first goal is comfort and control—not speed.

Confirm event registration and arrival times before race day. At the track, find the posted moto sheets, note the rider’s moto and lane, listen for staging calls, and ask a coach or experienced family whenever something is unclear.

Reaper Racing coaches help families with bike fit, practice expectations, race-day procedures, rider development, and questions that come up along the way.
