Tiny Auckland BMX club takes national titles

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

One of the smallest BMX clubs in the country has been turning heads nationally.

Young riders from the tiny club in Saint Johns, Auckland, have dominated the podium at the First Windows and Doors BMX NZ national championship, held in Christchurch.

Some successfully defended their national titles against 400 competitors.

Four club members netted national titles- Ben Anderson, Finn Cogan, Lucas Bhimy and Adam Coker.

East City club also earned enough points to be awarded the overall points trophy, the Pocock Cup, equal with Hamilton Club.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
