Go BMXing Day is an event to celebrate BMX, plain and simple. It has no official ties to any BMXing body, apart from the two bodies that put their necks out to start something a little different, an organised but unofficial BMX social event.

Bruce Morris (Brisbane) and Shane Jenkins (Melbourne) are long time BMXers who are both so passionate about BMX you can hear it in their breath. When the two of them were discussing the world of BMX, life and everything else Go BMXing Day was born.

Brisbane’s turn out last year was mind blowing, hundred’s of BMXers enjoyed a day that included a cruise along the river with drinks and shenanigans at Ellaspede to finish off.

Melbourne’s event was a more intimate event based around the dirt jumps, pump track and skate park at Kensington with a few riders venturing for a street ride into the city.

The 2016 event is definitely on the cards again for Melbourne and Brisbane it will be on Saturday November 12. On November 14 BMX celebrates 46 years, so it’s only fitting that we find the closest weekend and roll with it.

If you want to get involved in the event, start a ride up in your local area or just generally talk BMX check out the website at gobmxingday.com or the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/gobmxingday
