BMX BIKING

BMX biking is related to mountain biking, though these bikes have their own unique design and is regarded as a different sport altogether. These are special bikes with pegs on the wheels for tricks, pads on the places where impact will most likely occur, and no front brakes. BMX bikes are small, nimble bikes with 20 inch wheels. These bikes are used for jumping and are usually used at a skate park, or in an area that has dirt mounds to jump off.

What makes BMX biking great is that you can do it alone or you can do it with friends. BMX bikers compete in events where the players race to the end of the course in the shortest time possible. Another competition involves controlling a BMX bike while doing tricks such as backwards and forwards flips off of large jumps and ramps.
