Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hampton Supertrack?
  Hampton Supertrack is an NBL sanctioned BMX track located in Gosnold's Hope Park in Hampton, Virginia. Although Gosnold's is a city park, HST is not funded or maintained by the City of Hampton or the Hampton Parks and Recreation Department. Hampton Bicycle Motocross Parents Association is a 501(c) non-profit organization that leases the property that the track is on from the city and runs the BMX program and maintains the track on a strictly volunteer basis. The parents association consists of BMX riders, family members and friends of Hampton Supertrack. The track board of directors is elected by the members of the association for a two year term during odd years at our annual banquet in December.
  Our program is only as strong as our volunteers. We extend an open invitation to all of you to get involved at some level. There are jobs that are strictly race day jobs and others that require much more involvement. Whether you simply volunteer on race day or even just help to clean up after a race, we need you. Being part of a character building sport such as BMX is a very rewarding experience. At HST it is all about investing in our youth. Sooner or later you will find that, not only do kids grow and learn to be good children, parents grow and learn to be good parents.

What does it mean to be sanctiond by the NBL?
  This means that the track is approved by the National Bicycle League, of which Hampton Supertrack is a member track. The NBL sets up the rules of racing and conduct on the track.  Anyone who races on a NBL track or participates in NBL sponsored events at the track must be a member (or trial member) of the NBL. This binds the racer to the safety and conduct standards of the NBL and also provides the rider with insurance coverage while racing.

I'm not an NBL member and I don't race, can I ride on the track?
  The mission of the parents association is to promote the sport of BMX to the City of Hampton and the region and to provide a place where riders and their families can participate in the sport of BMX in a safe, positive environment. Our goal is not only to build great bmx riders, but to encourage and develop great character as well. As a result, the track is open to the public as long as there is not an NBL sanctioned event (such as a race, gate practice, lock-in or other event), maintenance, or the track is wet or muddy. We ask that you follow a few simples rules to keep the riders safe and the track in good condition:
