Kicking off this week is the 2019 Oceania BMX Championships that took place at the Te Awamutu BMX track in New Zealand. There were 36 Australian’s who brought the fire to the event and threw down a challenge to their Kiwis competitors.
Of the 36 Aussies, 25 of them made it into the finals of their respective classes and 13 of them found a spot on the podium getting a #1O, #2O or #3O plate.
First out of the gate are the Bailey’s in the 12-boy’s class. Bailey Willis from the Pine Rivers and Bailey Seckold from Nerang finished atop the podium with Willis first and Seckold second. Seckold went on to compete in the final of the 8-12 mixed cruiser class and found the podium once again bagging another #2O plate.
The father son duo of the 2018 BMXA National Series (the Jolly’s from the Knox BMX Club) were at it again with Joshua finishing third on the 13-boy’s podium and Wayne finishing fifth in the 40+ class.
Ashmore’s Isabella Schramm took on New Zealand’s world no.1 rider Leila Walker in the 14-girl’s to finish third while in the 15-girl’s, Australia’s #W1, Kira Hill went bar-for-bar with Megan Williams to win the two-spot.
Maitland’s Moore’s had a great day out on track with Lachlan coming second in the 15-boy’s while Zachary finished sixth in the 16-boy’s.
The junior and senior elite classes were jampacked with Aussie talent and the Sakakibara siblings stood tall at the end of the day.

A jam-packed weekend of BMX racing sounds perfect and for the track attack participants, this is exactly what they got, as they wrapped up the final round of their series.

Leading the way were the superclass riders and the Cove’s Shane Rosa once again stood tallest on the podium. Lilydale’s Joshua Callan found the two-spot while Shepparton’s Hayden Fletcher rounded out the podium to end a great weekend of racing.
Leah Hearne was looking to back up her outstanding success from Park Orchard’s, but she had to settle for second as Terrigal’s Clare McNamara finished first. Finishing the women’s superclass podium was Jaclyn Wilson from Bendigo.
Like Rosa, the following riders had a spectacular weekend clean sweeping every race and helping to cement their name at the top of their respective classes.

The Hills Tri Series Round 1
The final dish on this week’s menu is from Western Australia at round one of the Hills Tri Series. Over 150 riders competed at the Hills BMX Club and there were some great results.
Before that, we should celebrate the great turn out by the participation classes (Mini-wheelers and Sprocket Rockets). Nearly 30 shredders were out and about on the track enjoying their Sunday dose of BMX action. We look forward to seeing them compete in the future.
On to the competition side of things and capturing the spotlight was the superclass. Home dirt hero, Felicity Mann, had a cracking day on track winning the women’s superclass in style. Joining her on the podium was fellow club rider Catherine Hopkins and Byford’s Tehlia Jokic.
Westside’s Kyle Green won the top gong in the men’s superclass with Bunbury’s Dylan Rush and Southside’s Cameron Ainger joining him.
Other great results from the day included Westside’s Coby Van De Velde in the 10-boy’s as well as Rockingham’s Declan Mcghee in the 11-boy’s (and 8-10/11-boy’s cruiser). Billy Summerville also never missed the beat winning all his races in the 12-boy’s, with the same going to Jay Lander (Byford) in the 13-boy’s.
