.BMX.



The BMX was originated at the beginning of the year 1970 in California. The BMX was considered to be an Olympian sport in the year 2008, realizing his debut in the Olympic Games of Beijing 2008. This sport is realized in tracks of humid land, There are two types of BMX's bicycle(normal and cruiser). BMX started in the early 1970s when children began racing their bicycles on dirt tracks in southern California, drawing inspiration from the motocross superstars of the time. To practise this sport you need BMX's bicycle, hull, elbow-patches and knee pads. There are two BMX's modalities: freestyle and race.
Inside the freestyle they differ five modalities.
- Dirt Jump : This modality of freestyle consists of realizing jumps acrobatic using ramps of land
- Park : Is to perform stunts using a set of ramps and other obstacles as concrete or wood.
- Vert: For this type of sport, it is necessary to have a ramp with at least one complete vertical section at the top.
- Street: For this form of BMX is looking for natural barriers in the street, part of urban land.
I chose this sport because I think it's interesting but it also takes time and perseverance.
