After having to reschedule to Friday morning, there were plenty of kids at the BMX track Friday morning to give the track a test run.

Although the track is not quite finished yet, as the starting hill has yet to be finished off, the remainder of the track was more than ready for the kids to give it their best shot.
Tennant Creek was fortunate to have visiting internationally renowned coach, Jade McPherson, at the tryouts to give riders the benefit of his experience, as well as WA and international champion Rider, Jordan Callum along to demonstrate some more advanced skills.

Barkly BMX club are hoping that the tryout session will increase the interest in BMX in Tennant Creek again, so if any families are interested, just get in contact with the club through their Facebook page.
