Check out Park Orchards BMX. They run a 4X division at clubbies if there are enough to make a gate (so get your mates involved).Is there any 4x racing in Melbourne or surrounds?
I'm only beginning but have raced bmx before so won't be terrible
Thanks
hey thanks for the repliesWe haven't run 4X at Po for a long time
Although we pushed it a few years ago on here we just did not get enough takers to make it
I will ocassionally take my Chase down to race the BMX bikes
If you turn up you won't be turned away but you will most likely be racing a 26" bike in a bmx race
Cheers
You will end up in a cruiser (24") class. They are lighter and more nimble than a 26 so you would be at a disadvantage bike wise.hey thanks for the replies
and dont mean to sound like a complete noob, but i probably will
is racing a 26'' bike in bmx a good thing or bad?
thanks

However the most important part is the engine - you.
What Mike didn't say is that at PO divisions are based on performance, not age.
That means you will be put into a division with people of similar standard (irrespective of bike) so you will still be in amongst it racing wise (might take a few races to get correctly seeded).
Hey, I'm thinking of coming down with my bike, it's a short travel dual suspension, that's allowed to race correct?We haven't run 4X at Po for a long time

I'll bring my mate who has a 26inch hardtail, not sure when though as it is a bit of a hike from Preston and we can't driveI may bring a dually down too in the next few weeks instead of the HT
Not that I think it will help at all
Hi Tom
I would honestly stop working Saturdays and stop seeing friends to go to this. Who needs money and friends when you can ride. Apart from needing money to buy the bike, food, electricity, waterHas anyone suggested that they run a 4x or dual slalom mini series along with vic series?
I was talking to a few others about it. The amount of DH riders that would hit up a 4X/Dual slalom race on sat night under lights would be pretty big, considering we all just end up around town on the bikes anyway.
If i was racing, i sure as hell wouldn't miss a mini event on a sat night like 4x!
Having the old eildon 4x track up and running would be rad, baccas marsh and long gully dual slamon.Has anyone suggested that they run a 4x or dual slalom mini series along with vic series?
