When I was a kid I always wanted a BMX. I asked for one of these two wheeled wonders for every Christmas and every birthday. Unfortunately my family wasn't particularly well off and I had to settle for a pre owned, black, re painted 5 gear racing bicycle.

I did love that ricketty old bike and indeed was grateful you must understand but I still looked on in envy at all the other BMX bikes. Perhaps because I believed I could fly over the garden, house and beyond at that point made me want one even more. I hadnt grasped the fact that the BMX bikes in the movie E.T. had more than a helping hand in getting them off the ground! Flying over large obstacles in BMX video games didnt seem to compensate.

Christmas mornings became a spot the who has got a new BMX competition as all the kids raced up and down the streets and pavements, making impromptu ramps with old splintered planks of wood and a few bricks. There was no doubting the huge success that BMX had become.

Despite thousands of valiant attempts, no one ever did manage to fly their BMX over the house, although crazy Billy from the next street has the scars to prove he gave it a really good try. We all concluded that E.T must have had some kind of magical powers!

More than 30 years later and although BMX bikes still cannot fly they are still very cool and are more popular than ever. For the first time in its history in 2008 they became a successful part of the Olympic Games in Beijing.

The only discipline at the Olympics this time was racing although Freestyle is also massive and with its ever growing success is only a matter of time before these disciplines are considered also.

People at the top of the BMX sport are extremely dedicated to perfecting their skills and what you see may look easy, but just try it yourself to find out otherwise. Flatland BMX, another discipline is particularly fascinating to watch!

With such a variety of styles it is not a surprise to find out just how many different models of BMX there are. Not only does each discipline generally require a different bike with regards to weight and structure but even within the disciplines themselves there are many different models and brands.

Famous riders get bikes designed not only with their name branding it, but often with their own specifications too.

If you are looking for a BMX bike for personal use or for a gift for someone else, never have you been better served by the choice and variety available and there should be no problem finding the one you want.
