There’s just 13 days until the Bicycle Works BSX. The clock is ticking to the reveal of the biggest changes to the event since it first began in 2006. A new track, a new race format and a whole bunch of new classes.

Welcome to our new gold partner Thinglab

BSX is a unique event that attracts hundreds of BMX fans each year. The one on one elimination aspect of the racing is just a small part of what creates the spectacle. When we added new classes to the line up the first question was what should we do for prizes, it had to reflect the core components of the event. The current trophies available on the market today are just too same-ish and boring, they just don’t cut it. We wanted to come up with something that people will cherish, something that would be a permanent reminder of the event, something that’s not available anywhere else.

This is where BSX event founder and manager Shane Jenkins, a 30+ year veteran to BMX racing, reached out to Melbourne based Thinglab, a leader in all things 3D; printing, scanning, and related services.

Shane described the event and what BSX was trying to accomplish and was able to work with the Thinglab team to create a trophy that’s different to anything else ever seen.

While it’s a stand alone trophy it’s also a number plate stand with a slot behind the rider for the event number plate to slide into. These trophies are each printed individually, making the approximate cost per trophy around the $100 mark and we have six sets of 1-4 (gold, silver, bronze and black) that’s 24 of them.

The whole experience with the guys from Thinglab has been amazing from concept to the final product.

We’d like to thank the Thinglab crew for going above and beyond to support the event and we look forward to seeing the faces on the winners of these amazing trophies.

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 short straights, lofty jumps and tight corners are intense under race conditions, offering a fun and entertaining event for competitors and spectators alike. 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 over $40,000 helping to providing the hospital with much-needed equipment.
