Oceania BMX Championships 2025

Jacob and Ben Shaw had the opportunity to race at Oceania 2025 in New Plymouth on Sunday, 2 February. With 453 riders from New Zealand, Australia and Tahiti, it was a long and hot 12-hour day at the track. 

Alongside Connor Jelgersma, Jacob had the added opportunity of attending a Development Training Initiative for riders in the 16 year and over age group. With training at North Harbour with Olympian, Rico Bearman, Cambridge with their Coach, Andrew Hickey, as well as lots of fun riding the Te Awamutu Track where Nationals 2026 is to be held, they were kept busy. The lads rode strong in their competitive groups, Jacob placing O3 and Ben placing O6.

The lads are looking forward to the rest of the season with a few more events to go, including Nationals in Southland next month.
