BMX bikes are designed for speed and maneuverability, with thick tires for better traction on dirt tracks. Competitions generally take place on a short circuit with obstacles such as jumps and fast bends. Runners start at the same time and try to complete the course as quickly as possible.
Generally speaking, BMX can be practised at different levels, from recreational to high-level competition. As far as professional competitions are concerned, riders can choose between different types of discipline, namely: Race (track races), freestyle and ramps.
BMX is a highly entertaining sport, and it’s also a group activity that can be enjoyed with family or friends. It offers an excellent opportunity for each participant, as the sport helps them develop self-confidence and build stamina.
