FAQ
Q: What does my son/daughter need to race BMX?
A: To practice at Franke Park BMX, your son or daughter needs to wear a long sleeved shirt and long pants. Pads are optional.
Your child will also need to wear a helmet. The helmet can be full face or not. It is your preference.
While your child can bring their bicycle from home to ride, trick pegs must be removed as well as chain guards, kick stands, and reflectors.
A: Yes, we do carry bikes and helmets; however, we would strongly encourage you to bring your own as we have a very limited supply and it is a first come, first serve basis.
Q: Do I have to have a membership to ride at the track?
A: You are more than welcome to bring your child to a practice for the first time at no charge. A "One Day Membership" waiver will need to be completed by a parent or guardian allowing the child to ride on the track. Following that one day membership, a rider will need to sign up for a membership to continue riding at the track. The rider can either sign up for a 30-day membership ($25 cost), or a One-Year membership ($45 cost). Either membership begins the day you complete the form and sign up.
Q: Are there any other fees to practice or race?
A: There is a $3 per rider practice fee for each practice ($5 family practice fee), and races are $10 per rider ($9 for the second family member racing, $8 for the third family member racing, etc.)
A: For the 2009 season, which will run through September, Practices are held every Tuesday and Friday from 6-9 pm. Races are held every Saturday. Registration on race days is from 6-7pm with the race immediately following.
A: Franke Park BMX will generally be open from May through the month of September each year. Weather permitting, we will do our best to try and open the track a little earlier and stay open a little later as well. Updates on track practice, race, and season dates will always be updated on our website as well as our voicemails. Feel free to contact us any time!
