Racing does not need limiting - we need more race events

In 2019 (pre covid for worst case) there were a total of 21 weekends over the year with dh or 4x races on. Over competing is not really possible. Steve

How practically do you know what level of concussion some one has or if they have one at all? There are tests but you need a baseline test to have the comparison to understand what has happened.

Wider sharing of the test that could be used (to exclude but also include) would/could be pre shared?

There is no link between training concussion or previous race concussions.  Again back to parental responsibility

Could local hubs stock safety equipment for loan/hire?

Less technical tracks would make the need to have expensive equipment necessary.  More accessible

Think we need to ensure full face one piece construction helmets

Not particularly a problem in 4X or DH. It is already applied in 4X at some events where numbers are low. However I can see bigger problems changing BMX. Especially as globally the sport operates with age groups. Changing this would single UK out.

# data[].attributes.body
Only rule in 4X is 2 working brakes and gears. All mob's are welcome. 24", 26", 27.5", 29", hardtail, full suspension, xc bike or DH bike. No restrictions for riders when it comes to equipment.

As mentioned in DH, certainly with local events and mini DH events, equipment is not a restriction either. However when reaching national level equipment does become more of an issue.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating a system when head injuries are noted and then passed on to events organisers so that medics on site at the next race can assess riders before passing them as fit to ride is vital.

Helmets need better regulation

Land owner / local authority engagement for track development

Club structure is vital. New riders need to have better access to elite riders and club coaches to help the sport become more accessible.

We have already set up 6 clubs for 4X this year and already we are seeing many more riders attending practice sessions and training days.

Vital for DH to create clubs.

Better promotion ahead of events. Attract beginners and novice riders to national events to watch and learn. Use competitions and interactive experiences - track walk with a pro etc....

BC course previews a week ahead of the event. Interviews, tracksuit up - behind the scenes with organisers. Get people involved in what race week means.

It all educates new riders - and indeed current riders to understand the sport and not be intimidated by it.
