BMX Bikes are customized vehicles that can range in price from under one thousand dollars on the low end to several thousand with alloy parts and special bars, wheels and handle bars. To put it mildly, BMX riders typically buy the finest components to help them become the best stunt riders around. The BMX circuit has similarities to skateboarding. The riders must find great locations to practice and become better and they are always going where they must to challenge themselves and become better.

Contrary to perception, most BMXers have parents who know their kids love extreme sports and who generally help them buy parts and bikes to improve their riding and safety. To watch BMX bicycling, there are a few sanctioned locations around Orange and Los Angeles County but most bicyclists (like skateboarders) have to make up their own courses and tracks.  The sport is extreme and fantastic to watch. The riders earn their flying stripes with hours of trial and error till they get it right. Smart riders wear helmets for safety and longevity.

Great BMX competitions in Huntington Beach can be seen at US Open of Surfing and Beach Games as part of the Beach Games. There is also a King of the Dirt Hill BMX bike competition at Core Tour, a September event with open sign up and play offs. Popular in the BMX circuit are the video contests in which video submissions are accepted and finalists awarded prizes and entry into video productions.
