Yes there was a rule change this year by BMXA, novice riders are not permitted to wear pedals with a mechanical aid.Seems like a bunch of fuckwits are making rules hence the start of this thread.
don't disagree with the rule change, watching kids fall over in staging and on the start gate demonstrates that they are not ready, yet their parents give into the peer pressure.
This is also a worthwhile read:
