A Brief History
This sport has been around since the late 70s originating in California, USA and stands for (Bicycle Moto – cross (X). BMX riding became hugely popular in the 1980s and many believe that this is where mountain biking originated from. However, it has managed to remain unique with a culture and lifestyle of its own. Incredibly popular but still independent of the main stream, BMX has branched off into many disciplines. Some styles remain firmly in the domain of the few trendsetters while other areas, such as racing have been officially recognised by the Olympic committee and have been awarded full status at the Olympic Games.
