There has probably never been a better time to start riding BMX bikes; the sport of BMX has evolved into one that offers a gamut of respected riding disciplines, all supported by proven and established cycling technologies. All these disciplines are catered for by a wide range of different BMX bikes on the market. The only question is which of these BMX bikes to buy?

A beginner would do well to find out a little about each BMX discipline through, for example, viewing live action clips on the internet. In this way the new rider will be better placed to decide which style of BMX he or she prefers, and therefore which bike to purchase, such as Mirraco or Hoffman BMX bikes.

Street riding, park riding and dirt jumping, three of the ‘freestyle’ BMX disciplines involving tricks and leaps, are often among the most popular of BMX styles amongst beginners. However, a fair few BMX riders new to the scene find themselves captivated by the speed and thrills of BMX racing.

This is essentially a more rugged version of the bicycle race, taking part as it does on a dirt track circuit, and with the potential of earning official trophies and medals.

Although most quality BMX bikes will be capable of accommodating the demands of each discipline to some extent, it is far better in the long run to decide on which style of BMX riding appeals the most and buy a bike best fit for purpose.
