TORONTO BMX JAM 2010

Registrations are now open for the next JAM, the weekend of March 5 to 7, 2010. Please check out the registration page (Amateur or Pro) to make sure that you submit all the information required.

The location for JAM10 has changed slightly. It will take place at the BETTER LIVING CENTRE at Exhibition Place in downtown Toronto - that's just a couple of buildings WEST of the Direct Energy Centre.

The freestyle course from Toronto BMX Jam will be at Wallace Emerson Park until October 30.  It's open all the time and there is no charge to use it. Please wear a helmet and safety gear - and help to keep the place tidy. Enjoy the riding until mid-October.

Our BMX park is open to all. It's located beside the Community Centre at 1260 Dufferin Street, just south of the McDonalds at Dupont. To get there by TTC, take the Bloor Subway to Dufferin and head north on Dufferin (by bike, or the Dufferin Bus has a bike rack) a few blocks to the site. There is no charge to use the park but please remember to wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear. Hope you enjoy the ride: pass along any comments or concerns that you might have (use the "contact us" heading, above).

LEARN TO RIDE/TECHNIQUE AND SKILLS

Toronto  Park and Recreation will be hosting "Learn to Ride" skills camps all summer long. Children enrolled in Parks and Recreation Summer Camps offered at Recreation Centres throughout the City will be able to spend a day with their group at the Freestyle and Dirt Parks. Arrangements for these workshops will be made by Summer Camp Directors at each Rec Centre.

 GENERAL GOALS OF TORONTO BMX

We are very proud to be  involved in a number of projects that will help to benefit the BMX community.  Our projects include spearheading the creation of new parks in the downtown Toronto area as well as organizing the TORONTO BMX JAM that was part of the Toronto International Bicycle Show held at Exhibition Place March 2 to 4, 2007, March 7 to 9, 2008 and March 13 to 15, 2009.

Many of the ramps used at the torontoBMXjam became part of a new FREESTYLE BMX PARK at Wallace Emerson Park (Dufferin and Dupont area). Ramps were located on the outdoor rink just south of the Community Centre. They were on loan to the riders of Toronto for the year, as plans call for them becoming a part of future show courses. Enjoy the riding for free. There is also a 500 foot clay/dirt track at the west end of the Wallace Emerson park.

Toronto Parks, Recreation and Forestry organizes summer programmes for BMX riders at  Wallace Emerson Park each summer. 

Crime Stoppers, under the guidance of Constable Scott Mills, undertook to engage youth in the city in a project to paint graffiti images on all of our ramps. Not only does this painting help to extend the life of the ramps, the images look great. The entire painting-the-ramps project became a part of the Grey Cup BMX event.
