BMX

What is great about BMX is that it if you have a BMX bike you can do it anywhere. From the streets to the woods, it is a phenomenon that is enjoyed all over the world. We will show you where to BMX bike and the best BMX travel experiences.

BMX is short for bike motorcross. From it’s humble beginnings as a recreational sub-culture in California in the early 1970’s, to a popular Olympic sport, the world of BMXing has come a long way in such a short time.

BMX Freestyle is all about tricks. Riders use a series of ramps, half-pipes and rails on which they perform. There’s a few versions, including street, park, vert, trails and flatland and no official scoring criteria.

Riders challenge themselves to pull off increasingly complex tricks, while often devising new ones as they go. In an urban setting the street is your playground. Anything goes including using a deserted swimming pool for a BMX bike vert.

BMX dirt track racing is fast and furious. With jumps rollers and berms (bends), it is an adrenaline charged 1 lap race that is both exciting to watch as it is to participate in. Just don’t blink or you may miss it!
