Why you should sign our petition.
BMX Australia is concerned for the long-term future of this sport. BMX has strong membership, and a high medal winning potential at international events. This move is about horizontally integrating our sport as the ASC have set out in AWE, and providing our members with the support on the athlete pathway they deserve.
Why you should sign the petition to support BMX Australia controlling their own high performance program
First, a little history:
-The BMX high performance program was established in 2006 under the Cycling Australia High Performance Unit – by all accounts at the time this was the most appropriate option
-As a sport BMX Australia has since matured with a greater sense of direction for the sport, and greater stability as a National Sporting Organisation.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
