BMX Racers

by Ellen C. Labrecque

Overview

BMX stands for bicycle motocross. Freestyle BMX is when riders pull tricks on their bikes. What's the best part of BMX? The races? The tricks? The dirt? All these things are fabulous, but what makes BMX truly special is that it is a family affair. Nobody is left on the sidelines. After all, a racer's age can be anywhere from four to seventy-five.

Editorial Reviews

Five titles make up the Kid Racers series of books. These books cover niche sports. Each of the titles introduces the sport, describes the equipment, discusses kids currently involved in the sport, provides safety advice, and gives information on where and how kids can get involved if they desire. Each book's author is either an expert in that particular sport, or a writer who has previously covered the sport.
