BMX Freestyle Bikes

What Precisely is a BMX Freestyle Bike?

BMX bikes designed for freestyle are utilised for carrying out tricks, jumps, and stunts. They are fit for both street riding and skate park sessions. These freestyle bikes, occasionally dubbed BMX trick bikes, are easily identifiable due to their sizeable handlebars and small, robust tyres.

The bikes are engineered to be strong and resilient, capable of handling the various impacts associated with this form of BMX riding. Frames are typically crafted from exceptionally durable Chromoly or Hi-Ten steel, rendering them heavier compared to the lighter race BMX bikes.

Exploring the Varied Styles of Freestyle BMX

Freestyle BMX has grown over the years to encompass a range of distinct styles. Although each style may differ, there are no strict regulations governing them, resulting in considerable overlap.

STREET BMX

Street BMX is all about executing tricks and stunts amidst urban landscapes, akin to skateboarding and skating. Objects such as rails and kerbs are employed for grinding and performing stunts whilst street riding.

PARK BMX

Park BMX generally occurs within skate parks, with the aim being to accomplish tricks on structures such as ramps and rails. This style can unfold in a multipurpose skate park or a venue specifically designed for BMX bikes.

VERT BMX

The objective here is to achieve stunts and aerial tricks on a vert ramp, essentially a large half-pipe featuring a vertical top segment. Riders transition from one side of the half-pipe to the other, striving to maximise air time for various tricks. It is known for being the most extreme and challenging freestyle BMX style.

FLATLAND BMX

Flatland BMX involves riders executing tricks and spins on flat surfaces. With no ramps or rails, flatland is often deemed the most artistic of all freestyle styles. Many flatland enthusiasts also engage in other genres of freestyle riding.
