A BMX bicycle is an acrobatic, sports, circus analogue of a regular bike.

Eh, I remember my youth with joy... I remember we rode our bikes all over the area, played different games, and were happy, cheerful and at ease. And, naturally, the matter could not be solved only by fast riding on a two-wheeled horse. I won’t even mention the rearing, the police U-turn with a skid - probably everyone has tried this in their life. Again, I’ll also keep silent about riding in some unusual way (lying down, sideways, backwards) - these are all childish pranks... Our entertainment was much more extreme - we drove down cliffs at speed, flew through pre-dug pit-traps, overcame jumps and even water barriers...

Well, the most extreme of us even jumped off the bike while walking!!! And in general, what else have we come up with with our personal two-wheeled vehicles...

It is worth mentioning here, of course, that our ordinary bicycles often could not withstand such wild extreme loads, and often broke down and failed, even completely. However, this never frightened us, and having slightly manipulated our apparatus, we rushed into battle again...

It all happened a long time ago - it’s scary to even remember how long ago...

And now, for all fans of such extreme cycling, specialized vehicles with a reinforced frame and increased wear resistance of all key parts have appeared - BMX. What is it? In fact, a BMX bicycle is a modification of an ordinary two-wheeled iron horse into a kind of sports, circus, acrobatic analogue. This is a large special frame - enhanced strength, but at the same time lightweight - after all, excess weight is a negative point for performing tricks. On the axles of the front and rear wheels there are special footrests - foot rests, so that you can ride while standing on these key elements. The chains and transmission are also special - reinforced, wear-resistant, ready to withstand any fall or landing on the wheels from a great height... In a word, BMX is a bicycle specially designed for the athlete to jump, jump and flip on this vehicle. No one rides it just like that - only tricks.

Eh! What a pity that in my youth there were no such specialized devices - although this did not at all prevent us from joining sports, leading a healthy lifestyle and spending our free time in a fun, friendly way...
