BMX Bike

With the advent of the dirt sports, motorized biking, ATVs, and BMX, a new culture has surrounded and penetrated the gravity defying sport. The culture is one of energy drinks, adrenaline rushes, and distain for the typical laws of physics. Masculinity abounds in this high risk sport, and adolescents are thoroughly fixed. The easiest way to gain entrance into this X-Games quality sport is through a BMX bike. The BMX allows the youth to learn how to bike and discover the delicacies of balance through the interesting spinning potentials of this style of bike.

Since the 1970s children have been using their bikes to emulate the motocross style biking that they saw on the professional sports venues. California and specifically Schwinn pioneered the new style of bike mostly to children, and it has taken off since then. Typically a BMX bike rider will search for venues to practice their sport in a manner that is similar to a skateboarder. The BMX will ride along the urban jungle looking for areas to grind, hope, jump, and stall. Specialty parks that have been built for skateboarders also work for the avid BMX bike rider. In most cases the bike is told to wear a helmet, but as will the typical distain for authority found in the culture, they don’t. Professionals will because they’re flying through the air at heights that could kill if they landed improperly.
