Getting to know about extreme sports, the very first thing that gets into my mind is BMX. The word itself means Bicycle Motocross. According to relevant sources, it started way back in 1970’s when these hilarious kids raced their bicycles on dirt tracks in South California. It all started there and the extreme BMX sport started to be phenomenal from that moment and until this present era. Actually, it has expanded and continuously developing through time. As we can see, today BMX bikes have been greatly different compared with those 70’s and that we now have different genres or they call it discipline of BMX riding which is either street, park, and dirt. There is also flatland which is mostly dominated by artistic and technical tricks rather than extreme stunts so some people will not call it as extreme as BMX.
Last month I registered an account in a forum site to take part in the conversations. Well, I was really amazed of the guys there because of their helpfulness. I bookmarked the latest page of the thread and it was really progressing. By the way, I was talking about the forum about BMX bikes and the bikers in our place. The people there are absolutely doing great in spreading the BMX fever and there they talk about several bike topics especially with in terms of parts, distributors, nearest dealers, and basic help for beginners like me. I hope it will improve more in the coming days and also I hope that I will have my own rig soon, so that I can ride with them in their weekly sessions.
I’ve been always doing daily viewing of various BMX videos over YouTube just to be directed of a clearer understanding towards this kind of interest. Just like this video which I found under the channel of StolenProductionz broadcasted over YouTube. It’s a bike check wherein the owner or the rider does something like introducing his ride and giving out the specs of it. It’s a lot useful for people like me planning to get into BMX riding.
A friend of mine who shared the same passion with me when talking about sports asked me to help him fulfill his plan for our sports here in our place. It was about his plans to make a formal spot for BMX bikers like us. Though I don’t have the equipment for the sport but I am halfway to owning a bike for that certain purpose. He said that he has a spot right at their backyard and it is spacious enough to build some ramps, rails, or any other obstacles that we need to have for our sessions. Now we were still trying to fix the schedule because he’s a bit busy with his work schedules but hopefully by next week, we could start working for it.
