What an amazing weekend in Rotorua for the BMX World Cup. Was such an awesome opportunity for BMX in New Zealand to host to top athletes from around the world. For me it was a great experience being behind the scenes with the New Zealand team.
Excited to see what the future holds for these athletes.

Awesome opportunity for coaches coming up early in the new year.

Do you have a passion for BMX and for helping people develop their love for BMX? Have your found yourself as an ‘accidental coach’ or are you the one that new members to your club turn to for advice and support? Are you wanting to move into this space but do not know where to start?

In partnership with Cycling New Zealand and BMX New Zealand, the UCI BMX Racing World Cup is offering a “Coaching the Coaches” workshop. This workshop is designed for anyone in the sport of BMX that engages with developing club members (young and older), is motivated to create a safe environment for learning. We invite you to join us for a day of knowledge sharing and will bring a growth mindset and be prepared to challenge some traditional coaching practices.

Coaches and Club ‘influencers’ can be the key that unlocks potential, supporting athletes to develop skill and strategy, and grow their understand of the science behind their training and development. They can also play a mentoring role to support the athlete in navigating and guiding them through the sport.

This opportunity will be held on Saturday 3rd February in Rotorua with some practical application delivered at the Rotorua NQM on Sunday 4th February. Participants will also be invited to attend the Official practice day for the UCI BMX Racing World Cup on Friday 9th February (optional).

The day will follow the principles of the Cycling New Zealand College of Coaches curriculum and philosophy but is designed for those beginning their journey or structured teaching. The course will provide a pathway into the Cycling New Zealand Foundation Coach endorsement and will also introduce you to the HPSNZ Core Knowledge Programme.

This is open for those aged 14+ who are wanting to support riders from sprockets through to adult training.

Fun little Q&A prior to the World Championships.

TG BMX Club caught up with one of our local coaches this afternoon for a quick Q & A
Andrew Hickey Coaching

TG BMX
What are some challenges you have faced in coaching your riders leading into World Champs?

AHC
It’s been challenging with the weather and hard to get consistency. Obviously we are training in winter here in NZ and it’s summer in the northern hemisphere. The wind has been the main culprit. Also, trying to get my riders adapting to multiple tracks leading into racing.

TG BMX
What race day tips do you have for your challenge riders?

1. Enjoy the experience
2. Breathe!!
3. Whatever is working for you in the motos keep doing that in your qualifying rounds. It’s working for a reason 😀
4. Be aggressive

TG BMX
Have you raced at a World Championships yourself?

AHC
Yes. Auckland 2013, in the 17-24 age group.
I raced the North American and Canadian circuit 2014-2019

TG BMX
Who are you excited to see race in the Elite categories (on livestream)

AHC
Obviously all the kiwis, special shout out to Will Skipper . My internationals would be Felicia Stancil & Ryan Tougas (CAN)

TG BMX
Do you have any predictions you are willing to put money on for Elite/Challenge riders?

AHC
🥇Rico Bearman #44 for U23 Male
🥇Alise Willoughby for Elite Women
🥇Daniel Franks Vet Pro
All our Tauranga Club riders 👊🏼👊🏼

TG BMX
What’s on the horizon for you?

AHC
I’m running a nationwide Super Cross development program in conjunction with BMX New Zealand

In October I will be running clinics in Mainland South BMX from 2nd - 6th incorporating Dunedin BMX Club, Kaitangata Black Gold BMX,Alexandra BMX Club & Southland BMX Club.

Also I’ll be trying to lock in more clinics in various regions.

TG BMX
What are you excited about for the future of NZ BMX?

AHC
Lots more development programs coming online. Pump tracks popping up around the country, playing bike is so important! It’s also really exciting for Rotorua Bmx Club to be hosting a World Cup here next year and seeing our kiwi riders step up to the challenge and brilliant opportunity to bang bars with the best in the world !!
