A new style of ride, the Park Lines BMX Tournament – official 2024 South African BMX Freestyle Championships is coming to the iconic Gold Reef City Theme Park on 2 June. It is presented by LW Mag and Dragon Energy in association with Garmin, Balwin Sport and DJI.
Some of the country’s most talented BMX Freestyle riders will compete for the title of South African BMX Freestyle champion. The action-packed event will showcase creativity and skill as riders perform tricks and stunts in their battle to win their share of the prize money and to see who will be crowned event champions.
A newly built skate park will be positioned in the Gold Reef City Theme Park’s Town Square specifically for this BMX Park Freestyle tournament. Invited riders from around South Africa will compete in the Pro Division, and the event will afford up-and-coming riders the opportunity to compete in the Amateur Division.
The park will offer a range of obstacles for riders to make use of during their runs. Competitors will go head-to-head in qualifying heats where judges will take use-of-park, variation, style, tricks and amplitude into account when making their selection of riders advancing into the Finals. Pro riders will be competing for their share of the R35 000.00 prize money, a Garmin Instinct smartwatch, along with other prizes from the official event partners. In the Amateur Division, there is a new Mongoose BMX and further prizes up for grabs.
