Okotoks BMX Club

  • 5 of the clubs original members were on hand to have their picture taken with former world champion USA rider Bubba Harris who provided the ceremonial first drop of the new Pro-Gate “Safe gate” which was a first in Canada at the time.

  • One of our younger riders taking advantage of the indoor track in Olds. Remeber that you have to be registered with a club and have a valid 2013 ABA licence to ride in Olds.

  • With some hard work, blood, sweat and tears, the shell of our new moto shed was completed late last season. The inside is underway and should be ready to go for the start of the 2012 season!

  • It is very important to make sure your bike and gear fit you properly! If it doesn’t, you compromise your safety..and it kinda looks funny don’t you think?

  • A blast from the past from the 2006 Cochrane BMX provincial that moved to Morley Indoor due to Tornado warnings and torrential rain! It’s pretty neat to go back in time to see these Okotoks riders when they were younger..Can you name them all?

  • What better way to keep from going in 4 different directions? Go in the same direction! The Kroon family is a dedicated bunch and a huge part of Okotoks BMX! Click Here for a great story by the Western Wheel.

OKOTOKS BMX TRACK UPDATE

This year the board has decided that we are going to get some work done to the track to help it drain better so we have worked with a local landscape company to get the work done. This means that we will not have to manually move dirt to resurface the top dressing. We will still need to have people come out to pack it down but having the drainage and top dressing taken care of for us will be great. We would like to thank Scott at SBI Landscaping for working with us to get this done at a price that the club could afford. Here is the contact info for SBI Landscaping and the website.
