Byford BMX Club president Kevin Marrow said to have 12 members at Australia’s premier BMX event showed the strength of the club.

‘It shows the commitment and dedication of not only our riders, but the families and coaches who support the riders to achieve their goals,’ he said.

‘Last year four Byford riders attended the Nationals so to have three times that number represent the club this year demonstrates the continuous development and improvement of the club as well as our athletes.’

To qualify for the event, riders had to compete in last year’s State Championships.

The national event will be live streamed via the BMX Australia website, to allow the domestic and international viewers to watch the competition.
