THE Hinterland BMX Club recently hosted its very first state series round at the club’s grounds in Mooloolah, and had 42 riders from the club compete.
Throughout the six rounds of the Hutsix BMX State Series, riders collect points in their relevant BMX riding divisions, which then goes towards an overall tally.
At the Gympie State Championships, the top eight riders from each division will attend a presentation to determine who earnt the most points and therefore, is the winner of their division.
The local Mooloolah BMX club hosted round four of the state series, and Hinterland BMX Club secretary Jaclyn Smith said it was a great day for the club and the state series competitors.
“We had around 600 riders in total, and had the major elite riders on the coast so we had out superclass division, and also our juniors, men’s, and women’s as well.
It was a fantastic day,” she said.
“Our club riders who competed on the day had everything from firsts, seconds and thirds, with many of the riders at the top of their divisions and most placed in the top eight.”
Jaclyn said the club couldn’t have run this special event without the help of all their valued volunteers, who ensured the day would be a success.
“We can’t run those events without our volunteers, and our volunteers came from all over Queensland offering to help. Our crew in the canteen kept the facility immaculate all day, and ensured hot food kept rolling out all day,” she said.
“The positive feedback from the riders was fantastic for our crew that puts so much time and effort in, it’s a small group of volunteers who maintain and do everything, so to have such great feedback fills our heart.”
