Saskatoon BMX has returned. The city of Saskatoon has set aside some land to allow for a new track. Unfortunately the old BMX track had a fire and lost most everything so they are in need of things like a light stand and control box. If anyone has anything they can donate please contact Lori Smith. Awesome news!

Alberta BMX is thinking of changing the year-end awards from the giant trophies to some smaller awards. Check out the pictures below for 2 possible replacements. Each one would have a rider laser etched inside. They are pretty cool and similar ones were given out at a CCA Western National in Calgary a couple of years ago. Head on over to the FORUM and vote for your favorite

There will be at least one more Camp Cools in Morley. This coming Saturday (March 8th) Ken will be holding a Camp Cools at the Morley Indoor.

There will be no more Camp Cools at Morley on Saturdays. Due to lack of numbers required to make renting the building feasible, Ken will be unable to hold anymore camps in Morley. This means that the building will be closed on Saturdays until the Western National series races in March

The Alberta Bicycle Association (ABA) is now the official win tracker. They have all riders wins from 2007 forward and will be watching for riders that need to move up in class. To remind everyone; for boys 10 wins moves you from Novice to Intermediate, 25 MORE wins moves you from Intermediate to Expert. These wins accumulate for your career and do not start over each season. For girls it is 25 wins to go from Novice to Expert as there is no Intermediate girls class. Racing in the wrong class can result in a season ending suspension. Watch your wins!

In a recent UCI ruling it was determined that no rider could wear their country jersey at any event other than the UCI World Championships. What that means to us is no more wearing our team Canada jerseys at any races; Local, Provincial or National. Wear it to school, or hang it on your wall. If you traded jerseys with a rider from another country, you can still wear that one.

The assigned plate numbers for 2008 can be seen here.pdf
  • It’s alphabetical by last name
  • The riders category is either 20” or Cruiser because there are different plates for each of them.
  • The plate number that the rider is to race with is the one that is shaded. W 1st, N 2nd, C 3rd, AB 4th, P 5th.
  • Cruiser plates are bold type
  • If a rider is not on the list then their number is the last 3 digits of their UCI code (which is their country followed by their birthday). For example, a UCI number for a Canadian born on August 31, 1984 would have the number CAN19840831. So the riders plate number would be 831.
