Description: BMX is Bicycle
Motocross. It was started in California in the early 1970's by some
kids who wanted to emulate motorcycle motocross racing. There are now
hundreds of tracks across the country and around the world, and
thousands of racers. BMX race tracks are usually around 1000 feet long
and consist of banked turns (berms) and jumps. Most of the track is
dirt but berms on some of the tracks are paved. The National Bicycle
League Grand Nationals comes around once a year and is the grand-daddy
of BMX races in North America and is attended by amateurs, pros and
some who will be attending the Olympic summer games in Beijing.
