BMX

BMX (an abbreviation for bicycle motocross) is a form of cycling on specially designed bicycles which generally have 20-inch wheels (less than the 26-inch wheels found on mountain bikes and the 700C or 27-inch wheels found on more conventional road racing bicycles).

In the media

The early days of BMX - both racing and freestyle - was chronicled in the low-budget movie Rad (Yahoo! Movies entry). The movie featured many talented and famous BMX riders of the 1980s as stunt riders including Mike Dominguez, Hollywood Mike Miranda, Martin Aparillo, Fred Blood and Erik Appelhof.
