| • | BMX (an abbreviation for bicycle motocross) is a form of cycling on specially designed bicycles which generally have 20-inch wheels (smaller than the 26-inch wheels found on mountain bikes and the 700C or 27-inch wheels found on more conventional road racing bicycles). The sport includes races on sandy and hilly tracks—BMX racing—as well as the performances of tricks on flat ground, wooden ramps or obstacles found on the streets—BMX freestyle. BMX originated in California, United States in the 1970s, when teenagers imitated their motocross heroes (most notably Steve McQueen) on their bicycles. The 1971 motorcycle racing documentary "On Any Sunday" is generally credited with inspiring the movement. In the opening scene, kids are shown riding their Schwinns off-road. It wasn't until the middle of that decade that the sport achieved critical mass, and manufacturers began creating bicycles designed expressly for the sport. Source: [wikipedia: bmx] |
