BMX racing is a competitive sport where riders race on specially designed bicycles over a dirt track filled with jumps, turns, and obstacles. The races typically involve multiple riders competing in heats, with the goal of crossing the finish line first. BMX stands for "Bicycle Motocross," and the sport originated in the 1970s in California. Riders wear protective gear, including helmets and pads, to ensure safety during races. BMX bikes are lightweight and have a sturdy frame, allowing for quick acceleration and maneuverability. The sport has gained popularity worldwide, with events held at local, national, and international levels, including the Olympics.
