Saturday 28 June will mark the 2025 edition of the Kooigem city battle. Taking place on the smallest BMX skatepark in one of Belgium's smallest city's, riders in teams of 2 will battle it out against each other. The idea is that you don't win from the judges, as there aren't any, but you win from the audience. After every run they decide what team goes on to the next stage. Some teams will be invited and pre qualified, but everyone can enter in the "normal run" contest, and the best riders then move on to the Quarter finals team contest.

Should I enter if I'm a Girl rider? Yes, you will get a price.
Should I enter if I'm not that good? Yes, you will still probably win something

The Ride Isn't Always on Two Wheels
Some days, riding your BMX is the best feeling in the world. The moment your tires leave the ground, it's freedom. You forget about everything - school, deadlines, group projects, all of it. Then reality lands hard. A history paper is due at midnight. You forgot about the lab report. Your math teacher sent another email. It hits all at once. BMX riders are good at pushing limits. Still, even the strongest legs can't pedal through a 10-page paper. That's why some riders look for help with school. They'll search for help writing college papers while they get back on their bikes. And honestly, that's a smart move when your brain feels like it's doing tricks in midair.

Why BMX Riders Struggle With Homework
Riding takes time. School takes time. There's barely enough to split between both. Here's what most BMX riders deal with:

-Long practice hours: Jumps, flips, and races need repetition.
-Frequent travel: Events and competitions pull you out of town.
-Tired bodies: After a long session, typing an essay feels impossible.
-Focus fatigue: Tricks demand full focus. So does homework. Switching is hard.
-Online classes or hybrid schedules: These can be confusing and unstructured.

In a world where school routines and screen time dominate the daily schedule, staying active isn't always easy for students. But one high-energy sport is rolling into the spotlight as an unexpected hero for student wellness—BMX biking. While often viewed as a competitive sport or extreme hobby, BMX (Bicycle Motocross) training sessions are quickly becoming a powerful tool to promote physical health among students. From building core strength to improving mental clarity, this adrenaline-fueled activity is more than just tricks and tracks. Let’s explore how BMX training can make a real impact on student health—and why it's a smarter alternative to traditional workouts for many young people.

A Full-Body Workout in Disguise
BMX training might feel more like play than exercise—and that’s exactly what makes it so effective. Behind the rush of racing and jumping lies a surprisingly comprehensive workout. Every time a student hits the track, they’re engaging a wide range of muscles without even thinking about it.

Balance on the bike demands strong core engagement, with the abs and lower back working constantly to keep the rider stable through turns and landings. The legs and glutes are also put to the test—every pedal, jump, and sprint over obstacles pushes them through a high-intensity, lower-body challenge. And it doesn’t stop there. The upper body, particularly the shoulders and arms, gets a workout too. Gripping the handlebars tightly and steering through ramps and curves builds strength and endurance
