WHAT IS BMX?
BMX
BMX tracks are designed and built in most cases to support BMX racing, where up to eight riders race at a time around a point-to-point course. These tracks include a range of jumps, rollers and banked corners that are generally not as steep as those found in dirt jumping facilities. BMX racing is an Olympic event, with courses of this level requiring a range of standard specifications. These facilities are typically developed in urban areas, which suits the younger demographic of users who in many cases are limited by transport options.
BMX tracks, while being competition-orientated are also equally enjoyed by inexperienced riders, families and cross-training mountain bike riders. In most cases these tracks are managed by local clubs, with a strong degree of user-ownership evident in most cases.
BMX race bikes are compact, lightweight bicycles with a single gear and typically only a rear brake. These bikes are generally aluminium in construction and have smaller (generally 20’) wheels with smooth, fast rolling tyres.
Dirt Art offer a design service catering for a range of BMX race facilities from small local tracks, right through to UCI standard international racing facilities.
All BMX track designs are completed to exacting standards using CAD (computer aided design) software. These concepts can be drawn onto site surveys or can be overlaid onto existing maps. All designs are scaled and finished including construction specifications and information.
