BMX bike riding has steadily gained acceptance since the late 1980s and stands as one of the most popular extreme sports in the U.S. BMX riding, or bicycle motocross, originally consisted of races held on dirt courses. BMX bike riding has broken away from the original style and has various genres, including freestyle and dirt jumping. BMX bike manufacturers produce bikes to fit the specifications of each type of riding.

We The People BMX company offers bike models for novice, experienced and expert BMX bike riders. The Novice Series from We The People offers riders the most basic of BMX bikes while still taking into account quality and style. The Novice Series requires little maintenance and offers hand brakes for new riders.
