BMXers

Stunt bike riders

BMXers are people who ride BMX bikes—small, sturdy bicycles designed for racing and stunt riding.

The term covers both competitive racers on dirt tracks and freestyle riders performing tricks in skateparks or on street obstacles: BMXers gathered at the park to practice jumps.
