Training Days Can Be Fun!!
Be creative and make sure you’re keeping things fun while pushing your comfort zones!
Couple Days ago, @sparkmtbbmxcoaching hit the nail on the head. Bike Control and Technique will take you farther in the sport of BMX than any other training regime.
Learn to love riding your bike, learn how to jump, manual, balance, bail and crash. Learn how to have bike control and I’ll show you how to add speed to that.
@barrynobles95 is the king of bike control and through his years of riding various two wheel events, he has continuously added power to his bike control making him one of the most impressive riders to watch at any cycling venue!
Yesterday @pbcpal BMX Program had the opportunity to do a full day of riding off the track. Pump Track, parking lot riding and trail riding to add technique to our toolbox. Over 12 hours in a kid packed van with nothing but snacks and our bikes.
Keep it fun and continue to find ways to push yourself.
Thanks to @drcolinmp and @trailbossmkm for educating our riders on proper maintenance of trails while ripping up the scene at @markham
Growth on every level

Memorial Day...
Is the day that is set aside to REMEMBER with GRATITUDE AND PRIDE all those that served and died for our country and our FREEDOM.
May your day be filled with memories and peace!
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Congratulations to our freshman varsity wrestler, Sergio Torres on earning Rookie of the Year!! Wrestling is not for the faint of heart, it takes both mental & physical strength to spend 5 days/week training, 8-9 hours at tournaments Fri & Sat, all while maintaining A’s & B’s. Sergio started wrestling with @pbcpal in September 2023 and with his grit, hard work, and determination he has great things coming next year! #gohawks
