On an BMX bike there is a great number of different BMX bearings. These bearings range everywhere from on your back wheel, to your front wheel, your bottom bracket and even your headset. They work to reduce the friction between each part in order to make your bike run smoothly.
The bearings in your back wheel can range in quality and design. The quality generally ranges from a low quality to a high quality. Each BMX brand generally has a large range of bearings covering all the different qualities. For example the bearings within a WeThePeople Supreme hub are on an extremely high quality, however the ones on the lower ranked cassettes are worse.
The bearings in your bottom bracket are also of ranging qualities as different bikes are designed to be under different loads of stress. The low grade bearings are generally found on low grade bikes, around the 100 to 400 dollar range. The high quality ones are found on such bikes as the Colony Endevour or Bloody Oath. These bikes can cost up to and over 1000 dollars.
The last main type of bearing can be found in the headset. This is the bearing that is used to allow your bars to spin freely and smoothly in your frame. As with every other type the quality of these bearings ranges, however over a far lower range then the others. Generally all of the heatset bearings cost the same amount. The only price ranges are dependant upon the brand and slightly on the quality.
Basically its safe to say that a BMX bike is full of BMX bearings of different qualities generally dependant on the price. This is true for all the bearings except those in the headset, which are more depandant upon the brand.
I've also written articles covering BMX Bearings and BMX Cranks which you can view at your leisure.
Freestyle BMX
While BMX originally started life as an imitation of Motocross, a sport about racing and jumping, a track event with limitations, it soon evolved into something very different. While BMX racing is still very much alive and well, the style of riding many of us now associate with the sport, is that of freestyle.
The core component of freestyle is an emphasis on extreme stunts and interesting tricks. There are a number of different disciplines within freestyle, the most popular among riders being ‘street.'
Street riding involves performing intricate manoeuvres on any available obstacles from curbs and stairs to walls and any other available platforms. There is a crossover with street and park styles. Park BMXing revolves around the use of specifically built skate parks, utilising ramps and other specific structures. Many riders will use parks as training for street riding or vice versa, which also crosses over with vert (the most extreme style, using a half pipe to perform intense stunts).
The final discipline in the freestyle bracket is that of flatland. This has no crossovers with the previous styles, with most flatland riders sticking strictly to flatland. It uses a flat terrain and involves tricks based around balance and position. It is about manipulating the bike into new shapes or spinning in an extremely controlled manner.
Freestyle BMX has grown to extreme sport status over the past few years and the popularity of BMX bikes shows no signs of waning. However, in the same way that freestyle evolved, it is likely that the sport will continue to evolve and push new boundaries as to what one can achieve on BMX bikes. Learning the tricks and practicing them safely takes a massive commitment and can eat up plenty of free time. However, the rewards are very much worth the effort.
