Nottingham Outlaws BMX Club was reborn ten years ago and has developed into a large but friendly club that welcomes riders of all abilities. Riders can just turn up and have a go. The Club also offers structured BMX coaching and racing.
The beginners’ coaching sessions are every Saturday morning from 9:45 – 11:00am and cost just £2. Club membership is £3 for 12 months. All riders must have long sleeves, trousers and full finger gloves. The Club has race bikes and helmets but new riders must bring their own gloves.
The Club runs a race series over the summer on Friday evenings (register before 6.30pm) with race categories for established riders and novices, so anyone can have a go. Club races cost £3 for club members, £5 for non-members.
The Club has recently benefitted from a major upgrade thanks to funding and support from Sport England, WREN, Hewdens, Frank Key and Bunneys Bikes.
The track is located on Sellers Wood Drive, Bulwell, Nottingham NG6 8GN. You can find more information on the Nottingham Outlaws website or contact the Club on 0115 8229454 (Phil).
