WHAT IS BMX?

The sport of bicycle motorcross began in the early 1970’s. A handful of riders started riding their stingray type bikes off road in vacant lots and fields; not much competition but a lot of fun.

Today the sport of bicycle motorcross is sweeping the country and the world. BMX is an exciting sport that everyone can get involved in, be it as a racer, recreationally or as a spectator.
