Nike BMX

[pushatam]

so Nike is finally gonna jump on bmx'ing officially. I'm pretty excited about it because Nike's commercial exploitation of the sport will still help bring the light to the sport that it deserves.

Yeah he is. It says "if I am first out of the gate, if I pedal as fast as I can, I can already feel the medal around my neck, that's what I'm made of." Very inspiring I must say so myself. ;)

Bicycle moto cross (BMX) started in the late 1960s in California, around the time that motocross became a popular sport in the USA. The motorised version of the sport was the inspiration for the human-powered competition. Children and teenagers with the desire but not the means to participate in motocross sated their appetite by racing bicycles on self-built tracks. These young adventurers completed the imitation by dressing themselves up in motocross gear.

BMX racing offered exciting action at a low cost, close to home. It is easy to see why the sport was an instant hit. In California the sport was more popular than anywhere else. During the early 1970s a sanctioning body for BMX was founded in the USA. This is considered as the official start of BMX racing. As that decade progressed, the sport was introduced on other continents too, among them Europe in 1978.

In April 1981, the International BMX Federation was founded, and the first world championships were held in 1982. BMX rapidly developed as a unique sporting entity, and after several years clearly had more in common with cycling than motorcycling codes. Thus, since January 1993 BMX has been fully integrated into the International Cycling Union (UCI).

On 29 June 2003, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to include BMX in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

COMPETITION
BMX races are held on circuits of around 350 metres, including jumps, banked corners and other obstacles. Eight riders compete in each heat (qualifying rounds, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals), with the top four qualifying for the next round.

yes just racing

[ascend]

Yeah he is. It says "if I am first out of the gate, if I pedal as fast as I can, I can already feel the medal around my neck, that's what I'm made of." Very inspiring I must say so myself. ;)

"If I am last out of the gate, if I pedal as fast as I can, I can already feel the large fries and coke choking up my arteries, that's what my sponsor is made of." Totally inspiring. ;)

Hey maybe Nike will have a third world country farm out the bike manf. where they use child slave labor, then sale the bikes for an over inflated price. Some rich puke will have his Dad buy it for him, it gets stolen and used as a stunt bike by real shreddrs

[Street rider]
