I recently had to do a run to pick up Hay for the Bunnies in Wangara. I made a detour to take some aerial shots of the Wangara BMX track. It is the end of summer and so it was cool to see an oasis of green amongst the dry suburbs and landscape.
I liked the contrast here between the residential suburb on the right and the industrial zone on the left. In the distance you can see the sea.

I liked the solitude of the lone tree and lightpole in this unsealed carpark

El BMX se originó en CALIFORNIA al comienzo de los años 70, cuando los jóvenes intentaban imitar a los campeones de motocross con sus bicicletas. En los años 1980 se generalizó la variante conocida como race, o carreras en circuitos de tierra, muy similares a los realizados con motos. Más tarde, a mediados de la década de los 80, con las primeras bicis exclusivas de freestyle se comenzarían a hacer trucos en skateparks e incluso en la calle, consolidando lo que ahora conocemos como BMX.
Más concretamente, en 1977, la American Bicycle Association (ABA) se organizó como una entidad nacional para el crecimiento del deporte que se introdujo en Europa en 1978. En abril de 1981, se fundó la Federación Internacional de BMX, y el primer campeonato del mundo se celebró en 1982. Desde enero de 1993 el BMX ha sido integrado dentro de la Union Cycliste Internationale, lo que ahora se conoce como UCI.
Aunque se desconoce en otros países, en España a los corredores de BMX son llamados "Riders" (De la palabra inglesa, "ride") o también "Bikers" (también de la palabra inglesa, "bike").
BMX started in the early 1970s when children began racing their bicycles on dirt tracks in southern California, drawing inspiration from the motocross superstars of the time. The size and availability of the Schwinn Sting-Ray made it the natural bike of choice, since they were easily customized for better handling and performance. BMX racing was a phenomenon by the mid-1970s.[1] Children were racing standard road bikes off-road, around purpose-built tracks in [California].[2] The 1972 motorcycle racing documentary On Any Sunday is generally credited with inspiring the movement nationally in the US; its opening scene shows kids riding their Schwinn Stingrays off-road. By the middle of that decade the sport achieved critical mass, and manufacturers began creating bicycles designed especially for the sport.
George E. Esser founded the National Bicycle League as a non-profit bicycle motocross sanctioning organization in 1974. before they set up the NBL, George and his wife, Mary, sanctioned motorcycle races with the AMA (American Motocross Association). Their two sons, Greg and Brian, raced motorcycles, but also enjoyed riding and racing BMX with their friends. It was their sons’ interest, and there being no BMX organizations in the East, that prompted George to start the NBL in Florida.
By 1977, the American Bicycle Association (ABA) was organized as a national sanctioning body for the growing sport. In April 1981, the International BMX Federation was founded, and the first world championships were held in 1982. Since January 1993 BMX has been integrated into the Union Cycliste Internationale.[3]
The sport of Bicycle Motocross - Freestyle BMX is now one of the staple events at the annual Summer X Games Extreme Sports competition and the ETNIES backyard jam, held largely on both coasts of the United States. The popularity of the sport has increased due to its relative ease and availability of places to ride and do tricks.
