AusCycling Freestyle BMX National Championships features the following categories:
Age Category is based on year of birth. So that if you are currently 11, turning 12 in 2021, you will need to compete in the Under 15s Category. Similarly if you are currently 14, turning 15 in 2021, you will need to compete in the over 15s category.
Notes about Categories
The purpose of these competition categories is to make the event fair and accessible to all riders. There are no limitations on rider’s competing in a higher category to what they are eligible for – in fact, we encourage competitors to push themselves to compete in the highest category possible. The goal of these rules is to ensure that we do not have “sandbagging” – riders deliberately competing in the lowest possible category to gain an unfair advantage or easy win. The event judges will have discretionary power to alter the category of any competitor if they believe that they are acting against the spirit of the competition and outside of good sportsmanship.
Each Category of the event will have a set number of Rounds of Competition.
Each Round of Competition will follow the same format:
The Pro / Elite Competitions will be run according to UCI regulations for Freestyle Park Events.

The performance of each rider is judged on overall impression including, but not limited to:
The overall composition of the runs is most important as the judges evaluate the sequences
of tricks, the amount of risk in the routine, and how the rider uses the course. The judges
take errors such as falls and stops into consideration.
For Further Information, please download and read the event technical guide. A Riders Meeting will be held prior to the start of each competition where the rules are explained in detail. We encourage all riders to attend the meeting to make sure you know how the event is running.
