These are some of the good one... top two are the best....
Take a ride on a sporty BMX bike. BMX bikes with their flexible strength and versatility are the best vehicles for fun, excitement or competitions.
The days are gone when a bicycle was a dingy vehicle with two wheels and a seat packed in a simple frame. Today bikes are made to race with the wind! BMX bikes are the latest trailblazers in this new ramp.
BMX whose full name is Bicycle Moto-cross(X) refers to a particular form of cycling done on specifically designed bicycles that usually have 20-inch wheels.
The Origin Of BMX
The origin of BMX can be traced back to the state of California during the late 1960s when the youngsters imitated their favorite motocross heroes, one of the hottest being Steve McQueen, on their bicycles.
The credit for founding BMX goes to Scot Breithaupt. The 1971 motorcycle-racing documentary, On Any Sunday, inspired the movement and took it to national level with its particularly long remembered opening scene where kids are shown riding their Schwinn bicycles off the road. The sport became popular during the middle of the decade and manufacturers started creating bicycles designed specially for the sport.
The Sport
1. BMX sport includes:
2. BMX racing: Races on hilly and sandy tracks
3. BMX freestyle: Performing tricks on wooden ramps, flat ground, trails (jumps made of dirt) or impediments found on the streets.
About Some Stunning BMX Stunts
These bikes have a relatively petite frame compared to other bikes. You can add many additional features to do innumerable stunts. Like adding foot pegs to the front and rear axles, you can stand on these bikes and perform different tricks. Some of the stunts are easy and quick to learn while some are not so easy and demand a lot of time and patience to reach perfection.
With the rise in popularity most of the cities and towns offer both indoor and outdoor zones where the riders can come and practice to hone their riding skills. These zones are ramps, which come in different shapes, and heights which are equipped with tools to perform old tricks and gives you chance to try new ones.
The Cycle Of Competitions
BMX is the breeding ground of amazing and mind boggling stunts, which are seemingly unattainable for a mere mortal. These competitions are not always silky smooth where one can skid through effortlessly; here success comes with a long list of bruises, injuries and bumps.
In a competition the competitor's must wear a helmet to protect the head and elbow and knee protectors. Several competitions are held in the US and around the world.
Recently, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the sport's international governing body began sponsoring the UCI BMX World Championships.
But you don't have to compete to have some easy fun on your BMX bike. Just ride through your neighborhood streets or backyard and enjoy the pleasure, of course with a helmet on your head.
The Physique Of The BMX Bike
Frame: The frame of a BMX bike is made very light and strong. While the high-profile bikers vie for aluminum and chrome-moly steel, regular bikes are made of cheap grades of steel.
Wheels: The wheels and tires of a BMX bike make it stand apart from the crowd of other bikes. Usually a BMX bike has a 20 inches rim but are also available in other sizes. The 12-inch size is for beginners and the young children.16-inch size is for kids of 8-12 age group. The 20-inch is the favorite size of all, and very popular with the teens.
Tires: A BMX bike is special with its knobby tires, which are different from conventional road bikes. The knobby tires offer superb traction in tracks and dirt trails.
Gear: A BMX bike has only one gear, which gears it up for sprints and freestyle tricks.
Brake: A BMX bike often has only one rear brake because a front brake can increase the risks of accidents and the racers don't need extra breaks to slow down their speed. But a BMX bike meant for doing tricks will have extra breaks.
With versatile price and size range, a BMX bike is a good deal for everyone from fun-loving greenhorns to expert riders. Visit your local bike shop or look into online websites for more info. Write out a budget and create a plan for what BMX bike to buy and where you can start enjoying it.
