The race video for round 3 is now out! Thanks to our resident media expert Andy for putting it together.

On the 15th September a batch of Dragons made their way to Preston BMX track to represent their club at the end of season north region club championships. 11 riders plus parents made the journey from north wales to celebrate their club.

As part of Dragon Riders BMX development plan our goal each year is to re-design and re-develop part of our BMX race track here at Marsh Tracks in Rhyl. This year it is the turn of the 4th straight. At the start of September 2019 we handed the keys over to JB Extreme Landscapes to completely re-design our last straight into a rhythm section and resurface our first straight. The transformation is fantastic and completes the next stage of our program of improvements. That's over £10,000 invested by the club and by sport wales into the BMX facility at Marsh Tracks continuing our vision of BMX racing in North Wales. A huge thank you to Sport Wales for funding 80% of the works this year with the remaining 20% coming from Dragon Riders BMX. Next year we hope to redesign the 3rd straight into a technical straight. Watch this space!

On the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August the largest batch of Dragons yet represented the North Region at the British BMX Championships 2019 hosted by Derby BMX club. 13 riders in total made the journey from North Wales to represent the North Region, a massive achievement for a small club from Wales.

Round 4 of the North Region BMX series was hosted by North East BMX club. After an extremely windy practice session on Saturday, it was almost perfect conditions for racing on Sunday.

Mid Lancs BMX club hosted the 3rd round of the North Region BMX series, and it was a hot one. A number of Dragons made a weekend of it and rode Saturday practice then camped at the venue to make the most of the weather.

A big thank you to all our volunteers, our committee, club riders and other regional club riders and parents for supporting our winter series in North Wales. We have fulfilled our goal of 2018 to get BMX racing back in Wales at Marsh Tracks. We would not have been able to do this without your help and support.
