Crazy for BMX Bikes – My Boys’ New Hobby

My sons’ new found love for BMX riding first began when Filipino-born Daniel Caulaug took the gold at the Asian Games. It was back in 2014 and ever since, they’ve been obsessed. Thinking they’re going to follow in the footsteps of his BMX hero, maybe one day he’ll also make it to the Olympics.

At first I was skeptical and a little worried. It’s an extreme sport, after all, and my first concern was for his safety. However, I did a little research of my own and learnt a few things about BMX riding. The activity is great exercise, builds strength and burns plenty of calories — approximately 610 per hour. And if you have a son of your own and are looking to build his discipline and confidence, you should try buying him one of the boys BMX bikes at Tesco or from a sports store and see how he gets on with the hobby. They really look forward to the next BMX competion to watch. Unfortunately, BMX was dropped from the 28thSoutheast Asian Games in Singapore. This would have been a brilliant opportunity for him to meet his hero and watch the professionals in action. I’ve been researching upcoming BMX events and if he’s lucky we may visit one.

UCI BMX Supercross World Cup

This premier BMX racing series features the world’s most elite male and female riders from more than 30 countries. It acts as the main qualifier for the Rio De Janeiro Olympic Games to be held in 2016. Events have already taken place earlier this year at Manchester (Great Britain), Papendal (the Netherlands) and Engelholm (Sweden). The next in line is taking place from September 5th-6that Santiago del Estero in Argentina. The location has been a favorite on the circuit for the last three years and was voted the best event in 2014. Famed for its electric atmosphere and warm climate, you can see some of the best BMX bikers in the world at this one.

The final event of the year takes place on September 25th-26th in Rock Hill, USA. This is one of the largest cities in the state of South Carolina and marks a new location for the world cup series. A circuit has been newly built which will also host the 2017 World Championships.

UCI BMX World Championships 2016

This is one of the most thrilling events in the BMX calendar and one which my son would love to attend. The 2015 event has recently taken place at the magnificent Lotto BMX Centre at Circuit Zolder complex in Belgium. Next year it will be held at the new location of Colombia. The city of Medellin will host the competition with a newly built track.
Hopefully we’ll make it to one of these events. If not, we can still cheer on the riders at some of the smaller ones that are happening throughout the year.
