Today marks just 15 days until the Answer/SSquared BSX2020, that’s just over 2 weeks to go until 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 Platinum Partner: Murrindindi Shire Council

We are very excited to announce our latest Platinum Partner the Murrindindi Shire Council.

The Answer/SSquared BSX2020 is held in Kinglake West which is a part of the Murrindindi Shire. For the 15th running of the event we are proud to team up with MSC to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital. The MSC donation makes it easier for our small club and group of volunteers to put on the best BSX event so far as we strive to hit our total donation of over $60,000 since the event began.

The Murrindindi Shire boasts a number of attractions to consider visiting on your day in the Kinglake area including

• Kinglake National Park which is the largest, and closest national park to Melbourne, making it an ideal spot for a day trip or a weekend getaway. Established in  1928 to protect native fauna and flora, the park features Masons Falls, Mt Sugarloaf Lookout, Jehosaphat Gully, Wombelano Falls, an abundance of wildlife, secluded camping spots and plenty of walking tracks to explore. It’s a slice of nature with a sprinkle of serenity.
• Other popular attractions include the fabulous Bollygum Adventure Playground
• Kinglake Ranges Heritage Trail
• Toolangi Sculpture Trail
• Wirrawilla Rainforest Walk
• The Frank Thomson Reserve for stunning city views
• And for those looking for somewhere else to ride there’s the Kinglake Skate Park

All of which are just a short drive from the BSX venue.

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.
