Take a look at the history of BMX racing. From the USA in the 70's to now and the Olympics. More BMX Racing at www.uci.ch/bmx/ Follow us on Twitter @UCI_BMX_SX
That really brought back some memories! I raced BMX from about '80-'83 and had a blast. Started with a Stingray. Happy to see it's starting to grow again.
Excellent video, Americans have been a massive influence in BMX and played a massive part in BMX Racing, freestyle, dirt ridding however Americans take note.. The chain-driven bicycle was patented in 1873 and tarmac was not patented until 1902, so let's begin with the obvious: People have been riding bikes here in Europe "off road" since before pavemen existed. This is a very important video 👍🏻👍🏻
Ive raced BMX from 1990 till 1997 and had the time of my life. In the end it was the going away every sunday for races all over the country no matter the weather that I quitted the sport I can remember. I started playing tabletennis, wich have given me great reflexes in life...but I cant help but feel I made the wrong choice in that time...but yeah...was a 12 year old boy that wanted to play with friends in the weekends and not being in the car for hours anymore. I do miss it, been a long time ive riden a bmx bike. Was a great feeling hitting a jump
This craze impacted many countries south of the border of the US, l was 10 years old in 1973, motocross was very popular in the city of Guadalajara, we would imitate our local heroes Chuy Macias, Gutierrez Yanome el “pelusa” and others, got the black army boots and the padding on the sides of the Levys jeans, as the sport evolved so did we, started with Stingrays and the local version of it, then the Red Lines, Torkers and Mongooses , at my age l can honestly say that those were the best years of my life, in my late teens and early twenties l competed several times in the nationals, never placed higher than second, there was this period from 81 through 83 that l raced motocross and bmx. Marriage , kids and work overtake your time and those years become memories, but very pleasant ones, thank you for posting this video long live bmx.
I one several palms park series, intermediate class , went to the world championship race at the LA coliseum back in 74,that race was so far ahead of its time,there was a jump over this lil pond like thing,the guys that didn't clear it made a splash
LOVE BMX! Raced from '84 - '88 NBL, mostly in CT. I still have my Patterson Racing bike which I restored a couple years ago. I remember Wed. & Fri. nights all season long at the track in South Windsor, CT. Miss those days so much! Have dozens of trophies including 2nd place at the State finals 1985 and ended up 02CT for 17 & over novice 1985. Sean Dickey, if you're out there, you must remember winning that race in Meriden! Used to follow all the pros, Eric Rupe, Shawn Texas, Brent & Brian Patterson, Stu Thompson, Piston Pete Loncarevich, Greg Hill and many more. Stranger Things, I think, has renewed an interest in 1980's nostalgia including BMX.
Wow great video this really brings back awesome memories just being a kid riding my BMX with friends and at the track. I still have my bike from 83 it's a Mongoose Supergoose
It did. It's a stretch to say that just because people rode bikes in dirt, BMX was born. The way BMX has been over the last 45 or so years is clearly a result of the explosion of popularity in southern Cali. It's always that way. Whenever a movement gets huge from an origin, there will be some outlier story of something resembling it and it will be attempted to be credited to it. But if it were the real origin, there wouldn't be any unknown element to it. It's like electric cars. A failed electric car from 1895 is hardly the start of what electric cars like Tesla are today.
@@davidcooper4385watch the beginning of the video it's not BMX but they were riding bicycles on dirt and they had number plates on the front of the bike. It evolved from that that's not the USA it originated in Europe
I started Racing BMX in California in the early 70's when I was 4 years old. P.A.L. BMX in Vallejo California Mostly. but also raced at Skyline Park in Ca.. Raced for Mikes Bikes out of Vacaville Ca. I remember when we used Paper Plates and used a Black Marker to write our Number on it! hahahaha... I raced through the 80's and 90's, mostly in Nor Cal... Raced a Bit in Wisconsin, sponsored by Schwinn bicycle shop, I believe in Oshkosh maybe Fondulac, in the super early 80's for 2 years, Fondulac etc. Oh yeah and we had to saw off the ends of our axles and tape them up with Black Electrical tape or whatever would work...
I watch BMX racing, I quite enjoy it, it can be entertaining. These are some things I'd like to see in the future in BMX racing: · Longer tracks with at least 1 more straight (try to build them in terraces so the turns can act as places to increase the speed), maybe even have 1 World Cup venue that is in a bit of a hill (some parks in cities could do the trick) · More imaginative designs, we should explore new obstacles like uphill rollers (called "dragonback" in supercross), wall jumps (very short jump, almost vertical, could help building speed) or big hills (2-3 seconds of pedaling and then a ramp to get speed back). Right now all tracks have pretty much the same obstacles in slightly different order, adding a couple of extra things could help build personality. · Multi-race finals (having 2-race or 3-race finals could improve the show, you could make it like "normal grid, reverse grid, normal grid") · Top32 or top16 from qualifying enter an extra 1v1 or 4-way knockout competition. Less riders at the gate could mean better racing since they would not be bummed by traffic.

All olympic tracks were sloped from 1st to 4rt straight. It's challenging to make good layout with 5 straights and equal number of turn directions so that start is not too far from finish. Another straight also takes more land which is also a problem.
Big screens exist for a reason. Longer challenging tracks will create better racing. Nowadays, the winner is usually 1st after 1 corner and never gets passed.
Před 6 lety
A 20% longer tracks will not help to change situation much more, although I also wish for longer tracks. If make tracks longer, I would experiment with 6men runs, which allows to make 25% narrower straights, and then it's possible to fit track in same area. But that could be only for special elite tracks, because for kids and amateurs tracks seem long enough already, and changing such basic rules for general BMX would be too much. So narrower, longer, jumpy track would be nice for some pro league tour with temporary tracks in city centres, arenas, etc...and You have less "trains" in races....chances to get 3rd position from 6 are a bit more then 4th from 8... that could play role as well.
I know it would be expensive but think about bobsleigh tracks. Those have 3 different starts for different classes. I know it's a lot different in BMX but it's all about trial and error. The base of the sport is good but some exploring could make it better, make it draw bigger crowds and all that. I have also thought less riders per race. Sometimes it looks like there is a traffic jam, like the guy in 2nd is blocking most people. 6 riders could probably be a good number.
Před 6 lety
First of all, crowds will go to adult sport, they will go to properly promoted athletes and events, they will go where people are(cities, arenas), were are clear rules, they will go where intrigue heats blood and pumps heart. Now it's mostly Disneyland with family milking but with poor result with growth of sport. Boring transitions between classes, and rounds. I am proposing also "team game" for BMX, simple, fast but intriguing. I've got good feedback. Waiting for trials. In future that would be good format for "Race of Nations" between olympic games which could keep BMX under attention.
Absolutely. BMX as we know it over the last 45+ years plus unequivocally is a result of the explosion in southern California. To say "a couple guys rode bikes in the dirt on a track in the '50s" is hardly what BMX is. That's like saying electric cars, like Tesla, were originated from some failed battery-driven car in 1895. But people always try to do that. I was born in London in 1970 but mostly raised in the US. I can say, absolutely without a doubt, that I never saw anything resembling a BMX bike in the UK in the 70s or 80s (or ever,for that matter). Only in the US back then.
The first American to win a BMX Olympic medal was Jill Kintner (Bronze at Beijing) as the women final ran first. The second one was Mike Day (Silver) and the Donny who came in third place. The USA had to wait until 2016 for its first BMX gold (Connor Fields)
Bmx began in the 40s, in Europe. Kids were bombing mine fields & building sets over blown out buildings & bodies, hitting Cordova Backflips over 80ft gaps. Bmx has become softer & softer ever since
Yes, although we rode 21” frame bikes to school on the road, we as kids modified 18” bikes by stripping them down, removing the front rod brakes and adding ‘cowhorn’ handlebars. We called them Track Bikes. Yep, was there at the beginning in the 1950’s UK.......the yanks think they invented everything !
Modern BMX isn't nearly as kool as early 80's BMX. Today it seems more about big grandiose tracks where yes, they hammer the start to build BIG momentum but the skill is in landing the big jumps and mastering the whoops at speed. Other than the gate drop the riders only have to really pedal (with clip in pedals nonetheless) when coming out of the HUGE paved berms and the final stretch of the race. Sure that takes skill but to me the real skill was in not slipping a pedal or knowing just how far to put your foot out in a berm to be able maintain speed and not get passed as you'd get that foot back onto the pedal keep blasting toward the finish. I'm 53 and from Ohio but I was lucky able to four times in my youth, at tracks that were miles away from my house that my single mother took me to, dragging my two years younger sister along as well. Two firsts and third place trophy and one over the fence wipeout in my short one summer career on my GT Pro that I built to try to replicate Greg Hill's machine. Trivia question: What did the license plate say on Greg Hill's 944 Porsche?

Name of our sport is "Bicycle Motocross", code-named as "BMX". It was so for 40+ years. "BMX Racing" is explanatory term for shoppers of skatepark people who don't know what BMX means and thinks that BMX is a kind of bicycle and uses that as reference. Funny how scenarists made gradual transfer from "sport of BMX" to "BMX Racing" approximately where BMX UCI history started. Then it was sport, and after "this discipline". Please get Your taxonomy together. I can help! Freestyle BMX in fact and historically is not discipline for "BMX", but "Sister sport", evolved parallely. So there is "BMX" (with all the Championships, including UCI for 20 years now) and Freestyle cycling - for all the freestylers on all kind of bicycles with all kind of styles. "BMX Freestyle" is not better or exceptional. So freestyle can have their disciplines and classes by bicycle types. But, same like figure skating is not discipline of speedskating, in same way Freestyle can not be discipline together with racing.
Flat, Street, Racing, Park, Dirt, Trails and whatever else you can think of. BMX can cover it all. No need to retroactively create any new terms. What's "Football" about American Football? Which Mountain does a Mountain Bike Slopestyler climb? The origin of the term doesn't matter. The kid needs a name and it has a good one for over 40 years now.

American football stayed as local sport. It might be that some role for that is played by name of sport. Mountainbike is having "bike" in it's name, it means that this is not about sport, but about using some "mountain" type or function of bicycle, and I never consider it as logical name for sport. If there is Downhill Skiing, then it could be Downhill cycling... without any "mountain" word and including in some "mountain" group of cycling disciplines. Aspects are being offroad and downhill - and You will use most appropriate bike for such function, which always differed from cross country bikes. Most of taxonomy of UCI is screwed starting from 90-ties, because names are taken from commercial part of sport, not from principle to not confuse general public.
But the UCI has nothing to do with Freestyle (Park, Street, Flat, whatever) being called BMX. They are called BMX because they evolved from BMX (Racing) and are done using BMX bikes long before the UCI got involved. Of course it doesn't make sense to call Flatland "Bicycle Motocross" but that the way it is. The diversity of BMX is what makes it so great. Who cares if the name fits?
From UCI, this is not credible. If a somebody puts the more discredit on this sport, that is the UCI. They just reright the history and forget all the bad things they have done. IBMXF forever!
I like they only mentioned the glory years in the80's. We invented it lived sleepers it and experienced all the innovations. So cal then the rest of U.S.A.. then Europe. Im stoked USA men's super box cross .Just proved USA #1
Are you backwards or just plain stupid bro? Ahhhhhh...I understand...You're American, and by default you think America invented everything, pmsl. LISTEN and you hear the Limey narrator say that its plausible BMX started in Holland. Therefore, it is NOT an American history subject. I hate to be the one that bursts your bubble son, but America did not invent everything. It did not invent history either - even though you are led to believe so 😖😖. Watch the beginning again, LISTEN carefully to what the Limey narrator says, and learn something. You can thank me later 😃😃😃
That really brought back some memories! I raced BMX from about '80-'83 and had a blast. Started with a Stingray. Happy to see it's starting to grow again.

The I.BMX.F - International BMX Federation, started the world wide coordination and organisation of our BMX sport
they mentioned scott breithaupt. (SE racing) thats pretty neato
Yeah lots of great memories, 1978/1982
I always thought it originated in the US. I learned something new today.

Awesome.
Um...you guys really just left ABA out of it? The first American medalist (bronze) Donny Robbinson used to race ABA sanctioned races back in the 90's.
Largest Sanction in the world and holder of the most UCI sanctioned events gets left out, lol.
I am suspecting main advisor/producer of this clip - and he is not with our sport.
The NBL was the USA representative in the IBMXF; not the ABA. I guess that is why it isn’t mentioned.

Is that the league Chris Sanchez raced in?
love how they show the censored ET clip, lol.
Sidecar downhill mountainbiking should be a thing.
Downhill should be a thing first.
Avalanche races are that (downhill MTB racing) but I'm not talking about racing, time trials should be enough

what do the letters bmx stand for?????????
Bicycle Motocross . Just like MX is Motocross with motorcycles.
