Roaring up the half-pipe and throwing a 360 backflip on the way down, that's what BMX is all about. BMX is an extreme sport that takes the tricks and style of skateboarding and merges it with cycling. At first, BMX used to be purely a racing sport, inspired by motocross and consisting of cycling at breakneck speeds along dirt courses with obstacles such as hills and sharp turns in each rider's way. Some of the riders began to get fancy going over the hills, doing flips or letting go of the bike as they went high up in the air, and thus was freestyle BMX born. Now, freestyle BMX is by far the more popular of the two, having a large following of enthusiasts and practitioners.
BMX bikes, for both freestyle and racing, are generally smaller than most other bikes, having smaller wheels and lighter frames. But the frames and parts of a BMX bike still need to be tough enough to withstand the constant impact of jumping and landing.
Looking for a BMX shop – both an online BMX shop and your local BMX shop – boast wide selections of not only bikes made specifically for BMX, but also of accessories, spare parts for BMX bikes, protective gear, and clothing.
