Understanding BMX

BMX, which stands for bicycle motocross, is a cycling discipline that caters to various ages and skill levels. Since its inception, the sport has progressed significantly, making BMX bikes visible globally. BMX goes beyond being merely a sport; it embodies a lifestyle and culture, appealing to people of all ages, not just youth and teens.

The Origins of BMX Bikes

During the 1970s in California, BMX emerged as a more affordable and accessible alternative to motocross. The sport rapidly gained traction across the US and subsequently worldwide. While no single person can be credited with inventing the BMX bike, early influencers such as Bob Haro and Scot Alexander Breithaupt were instrumental in its evolution into the sport celebrated today.

Adjusting Your Setup

What makes BMX exciting is the ability to modify and upgrade your setup at will. Virtually every part of your bike can be customized, and for those feeling adventurous, constructing an entirely new bike from scratch is possible. Ensure you have the appropriate BMX tools before diving in.
