Entry form (Includes directions/map)
There have been a few people enquiring about entry forms for the Goldcross Cycles BSX.
There is no panic. Traditionally we don't take entries until the track attack rounds leading up to BSX and on the gate from 10:30am-12pm at the gate on the day of the event. And who are we to break tradition?
For the smoothest possible experience. Download the entry form, complete it, have your money and BMX Australia license (or green slip) ready and hand it in before you hit the track. We will also have day licences available for non-licensed riders.
Classes:
Non-licensed riders will need to complete a membership form for a day license and pay an additional $10. They will be available at the gate.
Spectator entry fee
We would love to invite everyone to BSX for free but this is a charity event that's expensive to run with public liability insurance, toilet hire and other costs so it's just not possible. That said we have kept the prices the same as they have been since BSX started in 2006.

Q. What does the weather look like for Monday?
A. The weather gods have decided that the track has had enough water and will shut things down for the weekend to give the track a chance to dry up. The minute it's dry we'll get it under cover for the evening before the event.
The current forecast for Monday is 30°C and mostly sunny. Check here for the most up to date forecast: http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/yarraglen.shtml
Q. What can I win?
A. Our generous partners have donated many prizes, more than you could imagine. There's everything from CDs, to t-shirts, there's just about enough bike parts to build a couple of full bikes and still have plenty of spare parts, and let's not forget 3 complete GT Bikes, there's an MTB Downhill tour and a whole lot more.
We will have a couple of raffles, auctions and silent auctions, so there are many ways to win. The auctions will be run through the day. The raffles will be drawn after the finals, the silent auctions will finish after the presentation, then on to the number plate auction and the auction for the other prizes.
What can you win? There's a pretty damn good chance you could walk away with a whole lot of goodies, but you have to be in it to win it!
Q. How does the track look?
A. The track has been well groomed leading up to the event, with improved drainage the water flows away quickly. That said, a day or two of sun and the track should be perfect for the big day.
Q. Where is BSX?
A. 55 Watsons Rd, Pheasant Creek. Check the entry form for maps and directions. Melways doesn't have detailed maps of the area. If you are relying on GPS, it's best to plan your trip first, GPS has been known to drop out in the area.
Q. What food is there?
A. As per usual the Kinglake West CFA will be providing the most awesome BBQ (and drinks) on the hill for the whole day. Make sure you bring some money along and help the CFA keep the area safe.
Q. Can I bring a tent?
A. Sure, but we cannot reserve spots for you. It's first in best dressed. Sponsor tents will be positioned before the general public is allowed through the gate.
Q. What are the classes?
A. Classes:
