BMX Canada is holding a Canadian Nationals at Greater Victoria BMX - Vancouver Island Nationals, which is the 3rd of 5 Canadian National Series including the Canadian Grands being held in BC for the 2016 season. 2016 Series includes 6 Nationals plus the Canadian Grands. Four Nationals and the Grands will take a place in BC and two (3 Day National) in Ontario. The Grands is the finale of a year's worth of national competition.

ALL current BMX Canada members are welcome to participate in this Series. Even beginners/striders are very welcome at National races!! Register just like you normally would for a weekly local race. We strongly recommend you to pre-sign up online to save your time and avoid a long lineup. Online Pre-Sign up closes AT 5PM TUESDAY, July 26th. On-site registration will be available Friday and Saturday during the event, but expect a long lineup!!


Some riders are following the series to be ranked nationally but others just race one or two Nationals simply for the competition. So even if you are a new BMX rider, you are welcome to race at this event. There will be a pre-race (double points race) on Friday, National (triple points race) on Saturday and Sunday. All these 3 days' races are separate and distinct so you don't need to race all three days. It is a big event and there will be lots of riders! Come race and see how you compete with athletes from across the nation!!

North Shore BMX volunteers will set up 1-2 tents for riders and their family to rest and park their bikes. Please feel free to join and hang out with us!! (We provide tents so just bring your chairs, if you can! ) 

If you have any questions please ask us on FB page or send us an email. We hope to see lots of riders from NSBMX participate this series :)
