Not just for ten year olds with silly haircuts, BMX (an abbreviation for bicycle motocross) is a form of cycling on specially designed bicycles which usually have 20-inch wheels. The sport includes races on sandy and hilly tracks—BMX Racing—as well as the performance of tricks on flat ground, wooden ramps or obstacles found on the streets—BMX Freestyle.

Freestyle can be split into several disciplines, although riders will generally participate in more than one discipline. These are Street, (skate)Park, Vert, Trails and Flatland. Rather confusingly, in competitions, park riding is often referred to as 'Street'.

Originating in California in the early 1970s, BMX is now firmly established internationally with several sanctioning bodies organising professional competitions. The great thing about BMX freestyle is that you can do it anywhere, but there are also special tracks and facilities throughout the UK.
