All BMX riders are required to have a BMX Plate so I have created some helpful information to get you started.
What is BMX Number Plate for?
Back in the day number plates were the only way line judges could identify your placing when you crossed the finish line. As technology advances a newer system called transponders have come on the scene which scores riders automatically and results are shown online… but
BMX Plates are still an essential part of BMX racing and a great way to represent you at race events.
