bikes · extreme sports · tricks

Tiny, tough bikes. BMX bikes are much smaller and stronger than regular bicycles, built to handle jumps, tricks, and rough racing tracks without breaking.

Racing on dirt. In BMX racing, competitors zoom around specially designed dirt tracks with jumps and turns, trying to be the fastest from start to finish.

Freestyle stunts. Freestyle BMX riders use concrete parks and street obstacles to perform flips, spins, and aerial tricks that look like they're flying through the air.

Started in California. BMX began in the 1970s when California kids imitated motocross on bicycles, and it became so popular it's now an Olympic sport.

Super speedy racing. Professional BMX racers reach speeds of over 35 miles per hour and complete entire races in just 40 seconds.
