What Is BMX
 
BMX stands for Bicycle Motocross. Races are short (a minute or two) on simple dirt tracks with lots of jumps and turns. BMX begins with a gate to control the start and an elevated ramp to provide a burst of speed to get riders over the first jump. Banked turns which connect 4 runs of about 200 ft in length. Each run has a number of jumps, spaced so that younger riders can roll over each jump while older riders can clear two ( or more ) at a time. 
 
Modern BMX bikes evolved the single-speed sting rays, GT and many other old school bikes that
many parents remember as their first bikes. The BMX season typically runs from March to November,
but Circle City BMX will be open from January to November.
