Bicycle Motocross anyone? Greetings from Holland, the country where BMX was born. Introduced in , the original Schwinn Sting-Ray changed the world of bikes forever. The steering geometry of the Sting-Ray, combined with the short wheelbase and inch wheels, resulted in surprisingly good handling characteristics.
Doing wheelies and riding dirt trails in vacant lots soon became popular. The motorcycle film " On any Sunday " produced by Bruce Brown was released in july of The opening scenes showed some kids on Stingray bicycles in a field in San Juan Capistrano, California, pretending they were racing motorcycles, complete with pie-plate numbers and two-stroke expansion chamber audibles. It is credited that those few minutes in the opening scenes is really what opened the doors for BMX.
With most guys riding Schwinn Stingrays at first, frame tweakage was abundant. In , the first of the BMX frames started popping up -most of them being monoshocks. Yamaha introduces a fully suspended kids bike called the Moto-Bike. Another attraction of the BMX bike to teenagers was its low cost.

Then, the American Bicycle Associate was launched to manage the sport.
Also, the BMX Federation started in , then the first world championship was held in A BMX bicycle is used for racing in off-road tracks and performing stunts.

The true story begins sometime in the s when these bikes were first developed.
It started off as a result of the popularity of motocross taking off as a sport in the USA - the name is inspired by motocross, standing for Bicycle Motocross. Picture this: Long Beach, California, in the s, kids were emulating their local motocross heroes; and the BMX was born. The bikes we know as BMX started out as a model of bicycle that was easy to customize on your own, so you could get it to cover the types of terrain that you wanted - from asphalt to dirt tracks, to the custom-built BMX circuits that were popping up as the sport gained popularity.
Same dirt. Same mounds. Same rules.
