I was involved in the management at State and Club level BMX when AusCycling was being introduced. BMX Clubs were advised that there was no choice but to join AusCycling, no join – no race.
The new Organisation appeared to be top heavy and with not much interest in the grass roots level of the sport. As most people involved in a sport such as Cycling, with no new competitors, the sport will die. A lesson not learned by AusCycling.
The administrators need to re-start the program from the beginning, become involved in State, National & International events and help our sport to grow.
