More racing opportunities and member-driven decisions are ahead for 2027, with new age divisions, expanded transponder requirements and continued support for existing racing rules.

The first-generation of BMX riders are showing up—and the classes are growing with them! Beginning in 2027, the current 56 & Over class will split into 56–60 and 61 & Over divisions for Novice, Intermediate and Expert riders. Rider feedback and strong participation numbers supported the change, creating more opportunities to compete against riders closer in age.

Member input also helps determine when to stay the course. After gathering feedback from riders and Track Operators, the results favored retaining both the current rule regarding impeding another rider within the first 30 feet of a race and the practice of racing your age on race day, rather than using a fixed date such as December 31 to determine racing age.
