Growth and Development

Park Lines organiser Ryan van der Spuy says, “The Park Lines BMX Tournament is all about the growth and development of BMX Freestyle locally. Since its inception in 2021, we have done just that. Hosting a professionally run competition open to all riders, becoming the official South African Championships, and producing South African Champions. Also, producing the country’s first Olympian in this discipline.

Now, we add the opening of our own BMX Freestyle-focused Skatepark, SkyLab, to the mix. The location of this year’s tournament and a park that will be open to all riders year-round. We’re in for a treat come 24 May, and we cannot wait to see who will be crowned the 2025 South African Champions.”
