BMX Freestyle Bikes

Understanding the BMX Freestyle Bike

BMX freestyle bikes are designed for executing tricks, jumps, and stunts, suitable for use either on the streets or in skateparks. These bikes, also known as BMX trick bikes, are easily identifiable by their oversized handlebars and small, robust tyres.

The bikes are crafted to be strong and rugged in order to endure the impacts associated with this form of BMX riding. Typically, their frames are constructed from highly durable Chromoly or Hi-Ten steel, which makes them heavier compared to the lighter race BMX bikes.

Exploring Varied BMX Freestyle Styles

Freestyle BMX has, over time, evolved to encompass a range of distinct styles. Despite their differences, there are no strict regulations governing these styles, allowing for considerable overlap.

STREET BMX

Street BMX involves executing tricks and stunts in urban environments, similar to skateboarding and skating. While street riding, you leverage elements such as rails and kerbs to grind and perform stunts.

PARK BMX

Park BMX generally occurs in skateparks with the objective of executing tricks on features like ramps and rails. This style can be performed in a multifunctional skatepark or in a venue specifically designed for BMX bikes.

VERT BMX

This style focuses on executing stunts and aerial tricks on a vert ramp, essentially a large half-pipe with a vertical upper section. Riders transition from side to side of the half-pipe, striving to achieve maximum airtime for various tricks. It is considered the most extreme and challenging form of BMX freestyle.

FLATLAND BMX

Flatland BMX involves performing tricks and spins on level surfaces. Absent of ramps and rails, flatland is often viewed as the most artistic freestyle discipline. Numerous flatland enthusiasts also engage in other freestyle types.
