About Aftershock Racing Inc.

At Aftershock Racing Inc, we believe in the power of competition, community, and collective action to create positive change in families, communities, and the lives of children. Founded in 2002 in Albuquerque, NM, our organization has been dedicated to creating a community of BMX racers and families focused on helping racers meet their full potential in the Olympic sport of BMX racing.

Although originally founded in Albuquerque a chapter has been formed in San Antonio, TX with the potential of future chapters all across the US.

Our Mission

Our mission is evolving to meet the needs of our communities: To offer opportunity to grow in skill and character through the Olympic sport of BMX. We are committed to contributing to the BMX and local community as supportive and engaged members, to foster growth of character, courage, and in strength for our riders and families. We aim specifically to make high level performance and competition more accessible, reducing financial burden of such endeavors by covering or reducing the cost of specific coaching and racing, sharing logistical burdens, and partnering with local sponsors to provide opportunities for the riders to learn the value of networking, and experience what it takes for businesses to operate at level that allows them to support the riders goals.

Our Values

At the heart of everything we do are our core values:

Character -  Sport is an opportunity to witness character in action. Our goal is to through the sport of BMX demonstrate and expect the display of good character, which includes good sportsmanship, emotional control, competitive drive, followership, leadership,  empathy, and  HARD WORK!

Courage -  Courage is abundant in the high-speed sport of BMX on the track. To compete at the state to national level a rider can expect to battle 7 other riders in a dead sprint where another rider may not only fall in front of or beside you but may legally seek to push you off the track. Courage found on the track will serve riders in all facets of life, the most important is the courage to dust themselves off after a fall or failure and go back to work achieving.

Strength – BMX requires strength, speed, and skill that promotes physical and mental fitness. Success at higher levels of BMX requires deliberate and consistent improvement and a strong dedication to bringing your personal best to every race. Riders invest between 5 and 15 hours a week on developing themselves physically and gaining strategic and tactical knowledge required to compete at their current level.

**Human beings have no shortage of non-physical activities to choose from in modern society. At a time when 40% of American youth are ineligible for military service due to excessive weight or poor physical fitness, challenging and physical sport may be best hope for reversing the trend of a nation plagued with poor physical fitness.

Our Impact

Since our inception, we have helped numerous riders grow in character, courage, and strength by supporting them in their pursuit of meeting their sport potential with high expectations and requirements both on and off the track. The team has grown from a single city-based team to a multi-state nationally recognized organization within the BMX sport.
