Would You Attempt A Bmx Trick

What is your favorite BMX Trick? If you watch this exciting sport

, you know that the teens who perform these remarkable feats of daring and skill, have no fear. BMX is short for Bicycle Moto Cross. The bike was made as a means of transportation. But BMX makes their bike for trick riding.

There are national BMX championships and the sport grows in popularity each year. BMX riders are usually in their teens, no doubt too young to realize their own mortality. When you watch these spirited youth do somersaults on their bikes with abandon, you have to know that they do not think about death or even injury.

Instead they think about outdoing the last guy to fly down the ramp, or the last fellow to spin in the air while standing on the bicycle seat. This is not a sport for the feint of heart. One brave soul shown on an internet video on a popular social media site, launches off a ramp and soars through the air from one three story building to the next. He must clear a distance of at least eighty feet between the two buildings in order to avoid a three story fall.

Is this the practice of rational people. Should it be outlawed; who allows their teenage children to perform these jumps. People have started using the wheel for thrills and excitement since it was invented. If teens did not have their BMX bikes to challenge disaster, they would find another vehicle to make the challenge.

Maybe the video games are to blame. The video games today are filled with blood, gore, and violence. Perhaps the kids who play these games are acting out what they see on their computer screens. But teens have been looking for thrills and excitement long before video games were invented.

In come cultures in Africa boys are required to leap off sixty foot towers with a vine tied to his ankle that is long enough to stop his fall inches before he hits the ground. Sometimes the vine is a few feet to long and the boy slams against the ground. It only takes one jump for the boy to realize he is now a man.

Perhaps for the BMX teenage biker, this is his vine and tower experience. It his way of proving his manliness. BMX will not stop making the bikes any time soon. But if there were no BMX bikes, teens would find another way to express their fearlessness.
