Answer/SSquared BSX2020: New Partner Sprintblock and Event Guide
There’s just 3 days until the Answer/SSquared BSX2020, the 15th running of the unique one-on-one BMX race for charity that raises much needed money for the Royal Children’s Hospital.
New Bronze Partner: Sprintblock
We’d like to welcome Sprintblock back to the fold for the second year as a BSX partner. Sean Dwight is one of most respected coaches in BMX right now, the Sprintblock is the result of many years development from Sean and is used world wide to help develop faster racers.
The Sprintblock crew have donated a Sprintblock and a signed Sprintblock (medium sized) jersey with autographs from Connor Fields, Max Cairns and Andy Hughes. Make sure you are at BSX on Monday to score yourself some Sprintblock goodies.
About Sprint Block
Sprintblock™ is the only portable, cost effective training device engineered to focus on “BMX specific” explosive power and strength training.
Key ingredients in developing balance and producing horsepower can be taught in the multilateral development years (13 and under) to produce immediate results to bridge the gap between general sprint training and the BMX gate start. This allows for the foundations to be built correctly before specialisation approaches in the coming years.
The Sprintblock™ will help make the transition from platform pedals to SPD pedals more enjoyable and seamless, a blended approach of both pedal systems in the daily training environment is recommended.
Sprintblock™ is the best training tool in the sport to teach movement principles of the gate start.

What is BSX?
BSX, short for Bicycle Supercross or Backyard Supercross, is an annual event that started in 2006. Since then the one on one elimination race has hosted thousands of BMX racers, and even dirt jumpers, from all over Australia and around the globe.
Here’s a highlights video from the last event hosted at the Kinglake West venue.
With 100% of profits going to charity the event has raised well over $58,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation and helped raise thousands of dollars for the Kinglake West Fire Brigade.
The Answer/SSquared BSX2020 will be a special event, marking the 15 year anniversary of the backyard BMX bash.
Just 19 days ahead of the first stop for the 2020 UCI World Cup
It’s also just 19 days ahead of the first stop for the 2020 UCI World Cup that starts a two hour drive away. We’re hoping to attract some elite riders who might spend a little extra time in Australia making the most of the weather that the Australian summer is famous for.
Don’t forget to save the date. Monday 13 January 2020. We will have more information for you soon.

ABOUT BSX
BSX (Bicycle Supercross) is one-on-one sprint trails style BMX racing on a backyard track built specifically to test a rider’s skills.

The event provides a unique experience for the local Victorian riders, as well as the interstate and international visitors during an off day of the annual BMX Victoria Track Attack series.
The primary goal BSX is to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation but there’s so much more to the event. It creates an atmosphere that words just can’t describe. Since the very first event in 2006 BSX has raised $58,712 helping to providing the hospital with much-needed equipment.
