BMX -- short for Bicycle Motocross -- is a brand new event this year in the Beijing Olympics and joins road, track, and mountain bike events to make bike racing the most exciting sport in the 2008 Games.
BMX - the Sport
History
BMX is a new Olympic event, so there's no proud "Hall of Champions" to look back on. But certainly there will be some memorable performances in Beijing to get things started.
BMX Athletes
The BMX athletes are a rare breed -- with the explosive legs of a racer, the strength and flexibility of an acrobat, and the steel nerves of a daredevil, you'll see athleticism and artistry here like no where else.
