A BMX Track will enhance a community both economically
and socially. BMX Racing provides a safe and challenging
sport for kids of all ages, male and female alike,
benefiting the community by keeping youth involved
in a positive, healthy environment that promotes
family bonding and safe competition. Developing
a vacant lot into a playground for the kids and
their families increases the value of your community
and adds new economic benefits.
A BMX Track is, for the most part, self-sustaining
and a majority of the work is looked after by volunteers.
The NBL offers a number of grassroots programs to
encourage the development of the sport and can provide
a track builder and assist in establishing a parent
group to run your facility.
Our existing tracks provide a network of experience
they share with new members, volunteers, and new
tracks. A new track in your community will receive
support both from the NBL and the many volunteers
across the United States.
