The BMX Racing discipline saw the light of day in the early 1970s in the United States, when children, to imitate their motocross idols, began racing their bikes on dirt tracks. This gave rise to the name “Bicycle MotoCross”, which later became the abbreviation BMX. Today, BMX Racing is an established international cycling sport discipline.
BMX Racing is one of cycling’s most intense sprint disciplines, where technique, overview and strength must come together in a higher unity. BMX Racing is run on a short track with a series of jumps and turns, where the fastest riders can reach 40-50 km/h when they complete a heat that typically lasts 35-40 seconds.
On a worldwide level, BMX Racing is undergoing rapid development, precisely because the discipline became Olympic 12 years ago. More and more countries are betting more and more, which increases international competition year by year. Today, the most successful nations work with top professionals and targeted concepts.
