Hawke’s Bay BMX rider Tyler Waite had an extra incentive when he captained the New Zealand Mighty 11s team to victory against their Aussie counterparts in Auckland last weekend.
Below is the invite for anyone who would like to come to the Mighty 11’s dinner. This is an evening with the teams to meet and greet them all as well as meeting some of the traveling Australian families attending the North Island Titles (there are a lot of them)!
Having attended trials against the best in their age groups, Rotorua BMX Club riders Zach Paterson, 15, and Will Skipper, 11, have claimed spots in New Zealand BMX teams.
After torrential rain in the two lead up meetings, the weather gods were smiling over Labour Weekend for the 2016 North Island BMX Titles staged at the Cambridge BMX Club.
Our journey began with the Mightys trials at Pre Norths where a number of high calibre riders took to the track endeavouring to make one of the 8 valued spot theirs.
Coming into the norths at Taupo the test teams were feeling good. We were excited to have Mark Harland-Croft, the captain of the men’s senior test team racing on his home track, Jamie Williams in the number 2 spot was on fire
Labour weekend is always an action packed weekend in Taupō, but adding arguably the best event on the BMX NZ calendar with 700 odd BMX’ers to the district just made it even better!
Upper Hutt couple Stephen (40+ male 20-inch) and Jo Coombes (40+ female cruiser) won their classes at the North Island BMX Championships in Taupo over Labour week-end.
