BMX racing is probably one of the most intense sports out there. And it is also can be pretty dangerous, unless you know what you are doing out there. For this type of racing your main objective is to get to the end of the track before anyone else in your class does. Another thing about BMX racing is that you need to know what class you race in. The class that you race in is the age and level of performance that you race at. For example, I myself race as 13 novice. Which is the middle class. And I have a friend named Riley Manko who races in the class 13 expert. | |
| There are also very well known professional racers in the BMX world. Like Bubba Harris, Jeffrey Upshaw, Kim Hayashi, and Jason Carnes. All of these pro riders are sponsored by the same sponsor, which just happens to be Redline. Another familiar pro is Donnie Robinson who is of course sponsored by GT. DR is a very good BMX rider, because he placed first in the UCI Super cross in San Jose. So he is the best of the best in the Olympics when it comes to Professional BMX racing. |

There are also rules and regulations that you need to follow in order for someone to race. One major rule is to wear all the safety gear that a racer is expected to wear. Another rule is to have all of the reflectors taken off of the bike, and there should not be a chain guard on the bike either. And when it comes to this sport you want to be and have great thing a lot of people like about this sport is that you really can’t technically lose unless you are racing only one other person which is very rare to happen. When I race I am usually with anywhere from three to seven other racers. And I personally think that the more racers there are the better. But, I like competition, myself, and there are a lot of people out there that do not like competition. A lot of people will want to race with one other person and pray to God that they win that race. But, what is the point of racing if there is no competition, and then it really isn’t a race. It’s just stupid and kind of boring. But, when there is a lot of competition that is where the racing part comes in at. And you really want to have great sportsmanship, because you are not going to win every race, and don’t plan on it. Another thing a lot of people like about this sport is that you really can’t technically lose in this sport unless you are racing only one person which is very rare to happen. When I race I am usually lined up at a gate with anywhere from three to seven other racers that are in my class. So to do this sport you need to have great sportsmanship and you also need to follow all of the rules and regulations in order to do this fast and intense sport. |
