The origin of the BMX

BMX stands for Bicycle Motocross. These kinds of cross bikes started to be released in the early ‘70s in South California as a bicycle version of motocross and the bicycle itself is designed for dirt and motocross cycling. When the kids in South California started to ride their bikes in dirt tracks emulating motocross superstars, it was clear that there was the need to build a strong and secure cycle for this new kind of trend. In the mid ‘70s the use of BMX’s was already a massive hit.

BMX: not only for the pros

After the big bicycle motocross boom, the bikes started to be produced especially for sport. But these bikes are not just used for competitions. Tricks and little tours off-track attract a lot more people than just BMX race bike professionals. Nowadays, because of the structure of a BMX bike, there are possibilities for everybody to ride this bike. Of course adrenaline and a little bit of athletic preparation are required but almost all over the world it is possible to find tracks or city circuits designed for beginners and pros.
