The BMX Racer
The most successful competitors in BMX Racing are often the most hyperactive of
our youngsters and teenagers. Those who without the spills, thrills, excitement,
and focus of BMX will give them would be looking elsewhere for their kicks. BMX
racing builds character, sportsmanship, and goal setting. It provides a
discipline and direction to young people, usually unwittingly, because they are
having fun doing it. There is also a large, mainly hidden group of young people
that find little joy in team sports, not loners but individuals who need and
want to be in charge of their own destiny and obtain satisfaction from their own
achievements at their own pace. These kids are not catered to in many other
sports. At BMX no one rides the bench.
