A BMX 선수 is an athlete who competes in BMX racing or freestyle BMX events. BMX, which stands for Bicycle Motocross, involves riding specially designed bicycles on dirt tracks or performing tricks on ramps and obstacles. These athletes showcase their skills in speed, agility, and creativity, often participating in competitions at local, national, and international levels. BMX racing features a series of riders racing on a track with jumps and turns, while freestyle BMX includes various styles like street, park, and vert. Both disciplines require practice, balance, and a strong understanding of bike mechanics. Many BMX 선수 aspire to compete in the Olympics, where BMX racing was introduced as an official sport in 2008.
