Have you tried out Kaiapoi's new BMX track yet?
Kaiapoi's newly-rebuilt BMX track was officially opened on Saturday, celebrating by beginner and experienced riders looking for a bit of fun.
The track - designed and built by BMX Olympian Trent Jones - features a starting mound and track that is four bikes wide, allowing friends to race each other for fun.
It's located near the sports fields, dog park and wetlands in Kaiapoi East and replaces the old track that was damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes.

Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
