LIL RIPPER'S (BALANCE BIKE RIDERS)
LIL' RIPPER'S (BALANCE BIKE RIDERS)
Our youngest group of riders! From the time they can walk and manage to hold a non-pedal bike to the age of 5!
A membership is required for the balance bike riders. Cost of the membership is $30 and is good for a year from the date of purchase. If you rider moves up to a pedal bike, you pay the additional $35 for a regular membership. The membership must be current in order to pay the difference.
As always, we like to keep our riders safe. Please have them wear long sleeve shirt, long pants, closed toe shoes and helmet.
Balance bike riders follow the same schedule as regular scheduled events. We do not have training or clinics for balance bike riders.
Strider No-Pedal Balance Bikes are designed to be the first step in teaching children how to ride a bike. The popular Strider World Cup races are held on portions of the BMX track and often on smaller specially-constructed tracks. They give children ages two to five the opportunity to take their riding to the next level — from balancing to racing on two wheels! Additionally, a Strider Adventure Zone will give kids a place to ride their Striders and have fun at each race.
"The Strider bike is a great learning tool and an awesome first bike for kids," says BA Anderson, USA BMX CEO. "Incorporating Strider World Cup races into our series is a great way to get siblings of current racers or young children started on the track. We are excited to have Strider on board as a National Series sponsor and look forward to having Strider races at our events."
Ryan McFarland, founder of Strider Sports International, says, “We think USA BMX is the perfect fit for our Strider World Cup races. After witnessing the passion and camaraderie exhibited by BMX racers at the Grand Nationals last month, I am honored to bring Strider into the USA BMX family. We have the same enthusiasm for racing at Strider and can’t wait to share the Strider experience all season long!”
