ABOUT US PAGE
Pine Rivers BMX has a long history of BMX and has been through many changes. The club started many years ago as the Strathpine BMX Club located at the end of Dixon Street Strathpine. The club later relocated to Kremzow Park, Brendale and amalgamated with the Sandgate BMX Club to form the Pine Rivers BMX Club. The club then moved in 1997 with assistance from the Pine Rivers Shire Council and the support of the BMX community to England Park Brendale and the club grew in membership numbers and developed a healthy financial situation. This allowed for the construction of permanent canteen facilities which you enjoy now and the installation of lights and a PA system. The club has enjoyed a large membership with a lot of the parents joining in racing themselves. Hence our cruiser class is hotly contested. The 30+ open wheel class has taken off and most race nights we have enough for 3 gates. The final is a compulsory pump race. The club is proud to have NTID, State and Zone ID members as part of the club showing the club has lifted in many aspects over the past few years. In 2009 a few dedicated club riders represented Australia at the World Titles held in Adelaide and placed very highly after travelling to Perth for the Nationals to qualify. In November 2010 we now have 228 riders licenced members to the club with 100 to 150 riders competing on a club Friday night. 2013 saw 23 of our club riders compete at the World Championships in Auckland NZ, the club was proud to achieve two riders with W1 plates and several riders making it through to the semi finals. The track is changed each year with small modifications, if necessary and we do a major upgrade every 2 - 3 years. With the last major change having been done in 2012-2013 boasting bitumen berms and a new start hill with a new barrel progate system. The club was lucky enough to receive funding for a new transponder system from the Gambling Community Benefits Fund and this system will be in place for 2014, please see transponder flyer for further details.
