🔥 **ALL ABOUT STRIDERS at The Hill BMX!** 🔥

What’s a **strider bike**?
It’s a balance bike—no pedals, no training wheels—just pure confidence building. Kids learn balance, control, and track awareness the *right way* from the very start.

💥 And that’s why **STRIDERS are the future of BMX racing!**
These little rippers aren’t just riding… they’re building the foundation to become the next generation of BMX racers.

At **The Hill BMX**, we give our striders a REAL race experience:
🚲 They drop in out of the **second turn**
🏁 Race the **3rd and 4th straights**
🏆 And EVERY rider is treated like a champion

Because here… **they’re all 1st place in our eyes!** ❤️

Some people build tracks.

Some people build champions.

Jim McMahon built a family.

Join us as we come together to celebrate the life and legacy of the founder of The Hill BMX—a visionary, mentor, friend, and the heart of a community that has touched generations of riders.

🏁 The Jim McMahon Memorial Race
❤️ ALL riders are welcome
💲 There is NO FEE to race Jim's Memorial Race

Registration opens at 10:30 AM, with practice running until noon. There will be a silent gate drop before the National Anthem in Jim's honor, followed by a day of racing, stories, memories, and celebration.

Before the mains, we will gather for a special ceremony and tribute lap for Jim, remembering the man who believed that BMX was about so much more than winning races.

After racing, the track will remain open for riding in Jim's memory.

Every racer will have the opportunity to earn a commemorative Jim McMahon Memorial Award. Awards will also be available for purchase after racing for $5 while supplies last.

Loaner bikes and helmets will be available on a first come, first served basis.

Whether you raced with Jim, volunteered beside him, grew up at The Hill, or are discovering his legacy for the first time, we invite you to join us.

Let's fill the gate one more time for the man who gave so many of us a place to belong.

Thank you, Jim, for building more than a track...
You built a community, a family, and a legacy that will never fade.

Reminder! No practice today but we'll see you on Saturday for our Jim McMahon Memorial Race.

This race is also called our BMX Week or BMX Registration Day race. We decided to combine these two events in honor of Jim, because BMX Registration day - no member ship is required and the race is FREE - ANYONE CAN RIDE IN HONOR OF JIM.

SO, Let's FILL THE GATES for Jim - come ride in his honor, or race (even better) in his honor. You MUST register BEFORE you ride on the track - but ALL ARE WELCOME.

Please support our concession stand this Saturday - 100% of the profit of concessions go back to fund track improvements. We appreciate the support.

THERE ARE NO PRESIGNS for free races so we'll see you at the window :)

Ever wonder who keeps the gates dropping, the races running, the leagues organized, and the fun happening at The Hill BMX?

Our amazing team of volunteers works tirelessly behind the scenes to create a safe, fun, and welcoming BMX experience for riders and families of all ages. From race operations and coaching to registration, track maintenance, and special events, these dedicated individuals are the heart of our track. 🚴‍♂️❤️

Take a few minutes to get to know the people who make The Hill BMX such a special place!

👉 Check out our staff page:
[Meet the Staff at The Hill BMX](https://thehillbmx.com/meet-the-staff/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Be sure to say hello and thank them the next time you're at the track. Without our volunteers, none of this would be possible!

While The Hill has more than a dozen volunteers that make the program happen, there are six "Staff Volunteers" with specific areas of responsibility.
