BMX Canada Rules of Conduct
Every rider must, at all times, demonstrate behavior that reflects the ideals of good sportsmanship and avoid any conduct which may bring themselves or the sport of BMX into disrepute.
The use of radio assistance for any rider on the track is strictly prohibited.
A rider may be disqualified or suspended for his/ her actions or the actions of his/her parent(s), or accompanying party.
A parent/guardian or accompanying party may have their event attendance privilege revoked for their own actions or actions of their rider(s).
A rider may be disqualified for team riding—letting another rider of same team or other affiliation pass so as to affect the overall outcome of any race.
A rider may be disqualified if any parent, team member, pit crew or other person physically assists that rider in any situation on the track during any qualifier or main.
Track crew members or any other person allowed on any areas of the track that are not open to all spectators, may not assist any rider physically, with verbal or non-verbal signals, or instructions that afford any rider an advantage over other riders on the track. A disqualification may result.

Squamish BMX Member Policy
SQBMX is run entirely by dedicated volunteers who promote BMX as a sport that builds hard work, commitment, and life skills. Skills gained through racing are transferable to other biking activities and life in general.
Everyone—riders, parents, officials, and volunteers—must be treated with respect.
Negative behaviour will not be tolerated. We all care deeply about our riders and strive to treat them fairly and keep them safe.
Constructive input from parents is always welcome. If concerns arise, please address them respectfully—we’re all here for the same reason.
This program depends on positive energy and the continued support of our valued volunteers.
Riders, parents, and coaches who do not follow this Code of Conduct may, at the discretion of the race director, official, or Squamish BMX Executive, be disqualified, suspended, or removed from the track. Failure to comply with SQBMX Track Rules, Codes of Conduct, or BMX Canada Rules may also result in permanent exclusion from the track.
