UCI BMX SUPERCROSS WORLD CUP BID GUIDE
2015
FANSIT’S ALL FOR THE
Bicycle motocross (BMX) started in the late 1960s in California, around the same time that motocross became a popular sport in the USA. In April 1981, the International BMX Federation was founded, and the first world championships were held in 1982. Thus, since January 1993 BMX has been fully integrated into the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).
The main BMX areas in the world are the U.S.A., Europe and Australia, while South America has been growing rapidly over the past years. Over 2,200 competitors from 38 countries participated in the 2013 UCI BMX World Championships that was held in Auckland, New Zealand. BMX made a successful debut at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China and made an explosive return at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Millions of TV-viewers watched the exciting BMX action over 3 days, which was held in front of a sold out crowd in the Olympic park.
