North Bay BMX

Today's practice is ON.

Thursday racing is OFF (enjoy your July 4). We'll return on Saturday for racing and Community Ride.

USA... USA... USA!

Kira Boustead (World #3) and Bobby Connelly (World #5) make their return to North Bay BMX as World-ranked racers after the 2024 UCI World Championships in Rock Hill, SC.

Of course, this level of success doesn't happen overnight, and you can see their 10+ year, two-wheeled journey documented through pictures on this very page...
..and they aren't done yet.

Congratulations, Kira and Bobby!

📢 BIKE LEAGUE FOR KIDS – Napa Bike League is hosting a FREE "Give it a Try" Open House at North Bay BMX on Sunday, May 19, ahead of our program's start date of Sunday, June 2.

📲 Find ALL info for this free event and five-session League at: https://napabmxleague.com

🚴 Napa Bike League is a Beginners-only BMX experience with instruction and racing. Our coaches bring girls & boys, 3-15 years of age, gradually through the fundamentals of riding our track, with weekly drills, which they then apply in full lap efforts that highlight personal progression in a group setting.

🏁 BMX Racing is the fastest growing family sport in America, and there's a reason for that. It's an individual sport that is great for boys and girls of all shapes, sizes, and abilities.

🎯 "Competitive" kids, "not into team sports" kids, "can't pry them off the phone" kids, and all the rest. BMX Racing is like a real-life video game, where each track is like a unique "world" in the game.

❤️ North Bay BMX provides a great family atmosphere, where parents, grandparents, and siblings can cheer-on their rider as part of the "pit crew," or jump on a bike and join the fun (parents/grandparents of enrolled riders ride in their own age-appropriate class for a discounted rate).

🏆 Tuition includes five sessions of instruction and racing, a League jersey, personalized number plate, season-end award, plus loaner bike and/or helmet (if needed).

COME VIBE WITH US!
- Vibe: a term that refers to the atmosphere, mood, or feeling of a place, situation, or interaction. It can also refer to the general energy or ambiance that is perceived or felt.
