Tan Ping, the president of the Yingshan County Bicycle Association, said that recently, the BMX BMX Freestyle Gymnasium in Yingshan County was upgraded and renovated, with the roof repaired to enhance waterproofing, track boards replaced, and LED facilities for racing added.

In addition to updating the facilities of the BMX Freestyle Pavilion, the outdoor BMX Sports Center track has also been hardened and upgraded. ”Tan Ping said that last year, the BMX Sports Center track became the first all-weather asphalt racing venue in China through asphalt hardening, curve surface transformation and other projects. It was equipped with dual starting platforms and national standard anti-collision buffer facilities, successfully creating a dual starting racing track that meets international standards. In addition, fences and rest function rooms were added.

Since hosting the U series freestyle BMX championship on our own mountain, the number of participants this year is the highest in history. The standard venue and standardized facilities have increased our confidence and confidence in hosting large-scale events. ”Tan Ping stated.

The complete facilities for BMX sports have become fertile ground for cultivating BMX enthusiasts. In recent years, professional teams from Sichuan, Jiangsu, Gansu, and other regions have been stationed in Yingshan for a long time, cultivating a large number of outstanding BMX athletes. Athletes who have left the Yingshan training ground have emerged and won honors in various levels of competitions. Deng Yawen, a athlete stationed in Yingshan, once made a stunning debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning the Olympic gold medal in the women's freestyle park event. Xia Huangyao, a native of Yingshan, won the women's freestyle park event in the 14th National Games. A large number of outstanding small wheelers, such as international athlete Xia Honglin and national athlete Xiong Yuxiang, have shed sweat and won honors on this land of Yingshan.

It is understood that Yingshan is currently the only domestic base capable of hosting both racing and freestyle BMX events, as well as a national BMX winter training base and a cycling training base in Sichuan Province; It has successfully hosted 19 national level BMX series races, 5 China Tour of Sichuan (Yingshan) Road Cycling Leagues, and other internationally influential events. Yingshan BMX Sports Center has been listed as a cycling training base in Sichuan Province by the Sichuan Cycling Association and as a national BMX winter training base by the China Cycling Association.

The development of the city through competition and the strategy of competition. The small wheeler industry has taken root and rapidly developed in Yingshan, driving a large number of young people and children to join the cycling team and enhancing the city's image and influence. The repeated national level small wheeler competitions in Yingshan not only recognize the development of sports in Yingshan, but also further polish the city's business card of small wheeler sports, "said the relevant person in charge of Yingshan County Government.
