Treasurer: Mrs Laraine Spurr (TAS)

The Australian BMX Association with the aid of a Federal Government grant, commissioned a training video for Officials. This was largely based on the work already done by the VBMXA, who in previous years had put together a rules guide for Officials "booklet". Based on this, the ABMXA commissioned Denis Croaker to design a coaching course for Level 1 Accreditation. Australia is believed to be the first country to implement an accredited coaching course for BMX.

The first Pacific Oceanic Titles are held.

The 6th Australian BMX Championships were held in Launceston, Tasmania, and sponsored by Coca Cola. Racing ran over 3 days, April 6, 7 and 8. The track was built inside a velodrome with excellent spectator facilities. Most riders were very pleased with the track which was considered flat and fast.

World Champions Leigh Egan and Pauline Williams took out the Mens and Womens Open classes respectively. 16 year old Queenslander Paul Addams wins his 4th Australian title, while Brenton Cooper wins 4 in a row.
