 This program is brought to you by the Northwest Indiana BMX Association,  an all volunteer non-profit organization whose goal is to provide amateur athletic competition in the form of BMX racing, practice, and clinics.  We are family friendly and endeavor to provide an environment in which the whole family can enjoy and take part in the sport of BMX.

Come out and join the fun!  We are volunteer-powered and can always use help: running the gate, monitoring the track, taking registrations, running concessions, announcing, officiating, track and building maintenance, taking pictures/video, etc.

We are sanctioned with the AMERICAN BICYCLE ASSOCIATION and operate two separate tracks in Northwest Indiana so there is practice and racing YEAR ROUND!

Please take a moment to check out and support our sponsors!
