My husband has raced BMX since he was a teenager and is now 43 yrs. old. He got my daughter involved when she was 7 and now she is actually on a team. It is a family friendly sport, I've never met a person I didn't like at any of the races. I would recommend BMX to anyone, it is a fun time and great for the kids!

"I love the sport. When my kids are on the track any race any day I get so excited I can't hardly contain it. Makes it really hard when you are the one calling the races and you cant yell for your kid.

I got involved with racing BMX to spend more time with my nephews and some friend who raced. That was in 2006 in Aberdeen. Now I race for the fun, exercise, friends and showing young kids how to have fun. I was 34 yrs old and over 300 lbs when I started. Now I am 38 and around 260. I would not trade this for the world. BMX rocks just like the tattoo I got after my first season with that same saying. I will promote BMX for the rest of my life. Enough said.

"I got involved when my son Dylan asked us to go and try riding BMX... found out there was a track in my home town.  We raced one race and were hooked into racing.  We started volunteering a little and now we volunteer a bit more.  Love the sport...Love the people...

Dennis H.– Racer/Parent/Husband
"We started riding BMX 5 years ago, now our entire family is into the greatest family fun sports I have ever known, not only has it created a very common bond and interest that we personally share with each other, we have also developed an extended family that can not be measured.

The racing community is truly an example of people coming together for a common cause. The tracks operate with the devoted help from volunteers. The racers are in the sport because of their love for bikes and physical fitness. Fans are there to cheer everyone on. Anything we can do to give children, of all ages, a passion, is worth the time and effort.

A few years ago, 9 to be more specific, A neighbor introduced my son and me to BMX. He took us to Rehbein's to watch. My son wanted to do it. I bought a bike from Ramsey Bikes, he started getting better, wanted to be on a team, and nobody seemed interested in him, so I started a team. The Team was called Chain Reaction BMX. We grew to 65+ riders, ... See More and I'm sure plenty of people were at the Brainerd National when Chain Reaction did the parade lap. There were riders from the starting hill to the finish line. Quite a few of the Chain Reaction riders moved on to bigger and better things. You can ask almost any rider on Mike's Bike's, and they were most likely a Chain Reaction rider at one time.

I'm an individual so I dig the whole 1 man and his machine against another man and his machine, personal power and skill are the only things that will get you a victory I am competitive, and there wasn't any motocross tracks around where I grew up.

I raced from 82-86 but kept everything, summer 01 i moved, after lugging my skyway to the new house in decided to check the internets. Low and behold i found vbmx, i had just missed rockford so the plan was to race rockford 02, i went and got a second and third and was hooked all over again. i raced till rockford 03, when i walked away from racing ... See Moreagain over drama. Last year i was going through a divorce and needed a diversion. I went to elkhorn march 15th and it turned out it was there triple pointer. I literally had not touched a bike for almost 6 years and was stoked to get 3rd behind dickerson and franklin, so i was hooked all over again. It all went well until aug 29 when i wrecked at rum river and mc himself and dennis and a host of others had to play nurse for the weekend. If i get the farmette i am dealing on, i don't know how much i will be around this summer but i'll be full time next year fo sho. BIG thanks to mark for all he does for this sport we love.
