ABA
Membership
All riders are required to
obtain ABA membership before they can participate in any ABA sanctioned
event (race, practice, clinic, etc.) The ABA has several types of
memberships available.
One Day Free Membership
This membership is intended ONLY for the new rider to have a chance to
experience the sport prior to joining one of the memberships below. This
membership is for one practice or one race only and is not transferable or
re-useable. It is $1 for a one day membership.
Temporary (trial)
Membership
There is a $25 fee for this 30 day membership. This membership is valid at
any ABA track, however, riders may only compete in single point events and
will receive no ABA points for their finishes. This is a one-time
membership. This membership can be converted to a full membership status
with a second payment of $25, if done so within the 30 day period.
Full (annual) Membership
There is a $45 fee for this one-year membership, which is valid at any ABA
track across the country and Canada. Upon becoming a full member, you will
receive an ABA Rulebook, an ABA number plate, an assigned number and an
official membership card and the ability to earn points towards year-end
awards. The rider will also receive an annual subscription to the BMXer
magazine (delivered monthly). The BMXer contains current point standings for
every ABA district and all national groups, ABA track directory, current
coverage of all the ABA Nationals and noteworthy events, bike tests, top
am/pro interviews and much more.
On top of all this, the
full member also receives a secondary medical insurance coverage. This is
something that no other membership oriented youth activity offers.
There are also discounts available for
multiple family members.
