-Freestyle BMX has grown to include five distinct disciplines. These are ''Street'', ''Park'', ''Vert'', ''Dirt'', and ''Flatland''. These usually involve technical movements of the bike in different ways over varied terrain.
+==Track listing==
-A BMX intended for racing can be easily picked out from a freestyle BMX. Freestyle bikes usually have a [[Bicycle_brake_systems#Rim_brakes|rim mounted]] U Brake instead of a V Brake and a race BMX has longer stays to increase stability when going faster. The shorter wheelbase of a Freestyle bike allows quicker turning.

-Some more modern technologies for BMX racing is the wheels addition of a rear [[Bicycle_brake_systems#Disc_brakes|disc brake]] as opposed to having a rimming  brake. This increases stopping power and works better in wet weather due to the rubber free brake pads.

-Recently, BMX racing's international governing body, [[Union Cycliste Internationale]] (UCI), began sponsoring the [[UCI BMX World Championships]].
-In 2008, BMX racing entered the [[Olympics]] for the first time in [[Beijing]].<ref>{{cite web | last = | first = | title =BMX will be added to the 2008 Olympics (UCI press release) | url=http://www.uci.ch/modello2.asp?1stlevelid=C&level1=5&level2=7&idnews=1309 | accessdate = 2007-10-15}}</ref> (For the schedule, see [[Cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics#BMX|Cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics: BMX]])

-== History ==
-BMX originated in the state of New York (Washington Heights), [[United States]] in the early 1970's, by kids imitating their [[motocross]] heroes on their bicycles. <ref name="aba">{{cite web | last = | first = | title =History of BMX | url=http://www.ababmx.com/index.php?page=home_history | accessdate = 2007-10-14}}</ref>   Children were racing standard road bikes off-road, around purpose-built tracks in [[California]].<ref name="bmx">{{cite web | last = | first = | title =University of BMX : BMX in Holland | url=http://www.fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2372 | accessdate = 2007-10-14}}</ref>  The 1971 motorcycle racing documentary ''[[On Any Sunday]]'' is generally credited with inspiring the movement nationally in the US; its opening scene shows kids riding their [[Schwinn]] Stingrays off-road. By the middle of that decade the sport achieved critical mass, and manufacturers began creating bicycles designed especially for the sport.
-The BMX bike has grown very popular with youth and is practical as it is rather small and easy to move. There are also [[BMX style helmet]]s made especially for the sport. A popular trend in BMX is running no brakes which forces the rider to be more creative and fluid like when he rides. Riding brake-less improves efficiency on the BMX reduces weight and cuts down on maintenance.
-By 1977, the [[American Bicycle Association]] (ABA) was organized as a national sanctioning body for the growing sport.<ref name="aba"/> BMX was introduced in [[Europe]] in 1978. In April 1981, the International BMX Federation was founded, and the first world championships were held in 1982. Since January 1993 BMX has been integrated into the [[Union Cycliste Internationale]].<ref>{{cite web | last = | first = | title =A Short History of BMX | url=http://www.uci.ch/english/bmx/index.htm | accessdate = 2007-10-14}}</ref>
-Over the last decade, the popularity of BMX has grown immensely. Rhonie and Jesward succeeded to create a revolutionary sport which now consists of Street bmx, Flatland bmx, Vert bmx. It is now one of the staple events at the annual Summer X Games Extreme Sports competition held largely on both coasts of the United States. Recently, there has been an explosion in the popularity of the sport due to its relative ease and availability of places to ride and do tricks. It also became an official Olympic event at the [[2008 Summer Olympic Games]] in [[Beijing]], [[China]]
