Thanks to its low cost and enormous freedom, this newly invented sport soon became a hit among youngsters in California and, later, all over America.

By the mid-1970s, BMX Cycling was hugely popular, and in 1974, the National Bicycle League was founded as a sanctioning organisation.

As the sport gained popularity, the American Bicycle Association was established in 1977, and the International BMX Federation was founded in 1981.

BMX Cycling is popular worldwide. In 1993, it became clear that BMX was more closely related to cycling than motorcycles, and it was integrated into the International Cycling Union (UCI).

BMX Cycling is considered an extreme sport, and it is one of the flagship sports during events such as the Summer X Games Extreme Sports. However, it can be easy to sustain an injury while participating in the sport.

It is a fast-paced sport with difficulty and skill, and injuries can be severe and sometimes fatal.

Injuries are usually sustained by going too fast on the bike, overusing specific muscles, or colliding with a motor vehicle or another Rider.

When BMX Cycling, it is essential to ensure you are always wearing a helmet and protective clothing to protect yourself from injury and to limit the severity of the damage.

We can provide you with a policy if you have pre-existing medical conditions and plan to participate in BMX Cycling. 

Our provider (Adventures) can offer travel insurance, including BMX Cycling if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
