What Is BMX Racing? Since its beginning, a little over 30 years ago, Bicycle Motocross Racing (BMX) has grown into a national and international sport, involving thousands of dedicated, committed youngsters and their parents. The key ingredients in this rapid growth formula are simple: BMX is fun to compete in, exciting to watch, and involves the entire family. Each BMX race consists of eight riders of matching age and skill, all competing on specially equipped bicycles over a short but challenging course of jumps and turns. Racers start from a gate on a small hill. After the start of the race, they skillfully maneuver, according to their skills, toward the finish line as fast as they can go. The winner, of course, is the first to cross the finish line. Competition events take place at local tracks, with the State Championships occurring in each state, while the National Championships culminate in the Grand National Race. In addition, BMX has reached a milestone the Olympic Games! Over the past 30 years, BMX racing has proved its staying power and made its proud debut as a full medal sport at the Olympic Games in Beijing, China in July of 2008. A big day for everyone who has been involved with this exciting sport. There are two sanctioning organizations in the United States. They are the National Bicycle League (NBL) and the American Bicycle Association (ABA). A large number of serious racers compete in both organizations events. Beginner, novice and expert riders compete on an amateur basis for trophies and the status of achieving a high-point standing. Professional racers, many of whom are sponsored by bicycle and race clothing manufacturers, compete for points standings, event purse money, plus sponsor s purses, which at National events, sometimes run to several thousands of dollars. The form of sponsorship offering the most cost effective promotional viability is the sponsorship of a team of nationally competitive riders. Riders at this level of personal commitment generally race two or three times a week, competing in Local, State and National series events throughout the United States and abroad.
