If you don’t have a BMX stashed out the back, but you quite like the idea of being able to pull off some pretty impressive wheelies, then the best (and safest) way to do this is in the comfort of your own home, on your games console. Although you won’t necessarily get extra perks (such as big money wins) as you would on video casino games, there are definitely the perks of having lots of fun. Here are our top favourite BMX games to enjoy which will pass away a fun few hours. Some are from recent years, whereas others go way back to the 80s - the comparison is remarkable!

USA BMX Graduates of the First-Ever RISE Educational and Mentoring Program Compete at the ‘Greatest Race on Earth’
Officials from USA BMX Foundation and the Terence Crutcher Foundation announced on Juneteenth the launch of RISE, an innovative mentoring program targeting underserved youth in North Tulsa. RISE stands for Resiliency, Inclusion, Social-Awareness, and Education. The class started and finished each session on their bicycles at the USA BMX National Headquarters while guided and coached by Olympians and Pro BMX athletes.

Relic are one of those independent BMX companies that know what they like and stick to it, no gimmicks, no flavours of the month, just well made BMX products with a classic feel.

Their parts and accessories are more aimed towards the trails and transitions style of riding and with a team of riders like Clint Reynolds and Lil Jon behind them you know that they mean business!
Ashley Charles (Relic's head honcho) has a solid sets of ethos and makes his decisions based around strong morals that he has gained from over 20 years of riding BMX bikes and all the great experiences
Sixteen of the top Flatland BMX athletes from across the globe will descend on the Crescent City for the 5th edition of Red Bull Circle of Balance on December 17. The hand-selected riders will take their skills to the floor at New Orleans’ iconic Mardi Gras World - a venue as atmospheric and artistic as the sport itself. Flatland is a complex and progressive discipline of BMX that can best be described as dancing on a bike. Bike enthusiasts from around the world can watch all the action live on Red Bull TV.
Sixteen invite-only athletes representing nine countries will go head-to-head in a bracket style, seeding competition. No ramps, no rails; just the riders, their bikes and the New Orleans floor.

Nowadays, there is a host of events organized by top brands for riders to race or show off in a freestyle contest. These offer elite BMX riders a platform to showcase their skills.

Monster Energy’s Justin Dowell Takes 2nd and Anthony Jeanjean Takes 3rd in BMX Freestyle Park at UCI Urban World Champs
Bringing the heat to Abu Dhabi! Monster Energy congratulates team riders Justin Dowell and Anthony Jeanjean on taking silver and bronze in BMX Park at the UCI World Championships. The men’s finals closed out the 2022 UCI Urban Cycling World Championships with the BMX Freestyle Park Finals. Twelve men and twelve women competed in the finals, with three men and three women from Team USA making the big show. The crowd was excited to see the world’s elite BMX athletes throw down their best tricks on the world-renowned course. Monster Energy’s Dowell (Virginia Beach, V.A.) and Daniel Sandoval (Corona, Cali) represented Team USA.
Dowell, USA, has been consistent at World Championships with a win in 2018, and he took 4th place in 2019 and 2021, so he was ready to get back on the podium. With a score of 91.50, he finished the day in second place.
“My run is exactly how I like to ride – a combination of tricks back-to-back to back,” said Dowell. "I don’t like skipping ramps and pedaling around the course. That’s just really not my style. I respect the big transfers and stuff, but I am more of a back-to-back type of guy. I put everything down. I think that is a really technical way to ride, and it doesn’t always go right, but when it does, it is really special. To end up on the podium again at the World Championship for the first time since 2018 means a lot to me. I want to try for the top spot next year.”
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
