Understanding BMX

BMX, which stands for bicycle motocross, is a cycling discipline suited for all ages and skill levels. It has evolved considerably since its inception, and BMX bikes now have a global presence. This dynamic sport is open to everyone, transcending age and is far from confined to just youngsters. Similar to numerous action sports, BMX has grown beyond mere sport to become a lifestyle and culture.

The Originators of BMX Bikes

Emerging in the 1970s in California, BMX began as a more cost-effective and accessible version of motocross. It swiftly garnered popularity across the USA before expanding internationally. Although there isn't a sole inventor of the BMX bike, trailblazers like Bob Haro and Scot Alexander Breithaupt were instrumental in shaping it into the sport we recognise today.

Personalise Your Setup

An appealing aspect of BMX is the liberty to modify and enhance your setup. Nearly every component of your bike is customisable, and with sufficient confidence, you can assemble an entirely new bike from scratch. Ensure you are equipped with the appropriate BMX tools before embarking on any modifications.
