What is Dirt-BMX?
Dirt-BMX, also known as BMX dirt jumping, is a style of cycling that involves riding a BMX bike over obstacles such as jumps, berms, and other terrain features. It is a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled activity that has been gaining popularity since the early 1990s. Dirt-BMX requires a combination of skills and techniques, including jumping, cornering, and pumping, in order to successfully navigate the terrain.
The goal of Dirt-BMX is to achieve the highest level of airtime and to perform the most complex tricks and stunts. It is a competitive sport, with riders competing against each other for points and prizes. It is also popular among recreational riders, who enjoy the challenge and thrill of the sport.
According to the National Sporting Goods Association, BMX cycling is one of the fastest-growing cycling sports in the United States. In 2015, there were over 3 million BMX riders in the country, an increase of 33 percent from 2009. The popularity of Dirt-BMX is likely to continue to grow as more people discover the joys of the sport.
.The Origin of the Term 'Dirt-BMX'
The term “dirt-BMX” was first used in the late 1970s in Southern California, USA. It was a way of distinguishing bicycle motocross (BMX) from the traditional form of cycling. BMX involved riding bicycles off-road, on dirt trails, jumps and other terrain which was different from the typical road racing and track cycling of the time.
In the early days, BMX was mainly a recreational activity for kids, but it quickly grew into an organized sport by the end of the 1970s. At that time, the term “dirt-BMX” was used to describe the off-road version of BMX. This term was used to differentiate it from the road racing and track cycling that was popular in the 1970s.
Today, the term “dirt-BMX” is still used to describe the off-road version of BMX. It is a popular sport, with competitions taking place all over the world. Dirt-BMX is also popular with recreational riders, who enjoy the challenge of riding on dirt trails and jumps.
