BMX: ACRONYMS AND HISTORY

The abbreviations BMX stand for Bicycle Motocross and have to do with the history of the sport, which dates back to 1969. It was then when in California where else young people began to use their bikes on Motocross tracks to imitate their motorized idols.

BMX RACE

was born in California in 1969 when a young man named Scott Breithaupt decides to use a bicycle on a Motocross track, to imitate the skills of his idols in this sport. In the 1970s, the first registered BMX replaced the classic Stingrays in 1973. Throughout this decade this style grew in popularity until it became an established sport when the first international BMX association, the IBMXF, was formed in 1977.

I base myself on reality and on what happens in BMX RACE, since we athletes run a risk of falling on a daily basis. The most frequent falls are in young people and children since from the strides, that is, from the smallest to the elites that are professionals, there has always been an increase in falls from 25% to 40% in the risk of fractures and injuries; but also in BMX, adults have practiced and the risk in them is less since they are very precarious when doing a dangerous action.

WHY IS THE BMX MORE DANGEROUS FOR ADULTS THAN IT IS FOR CHILDREN?

1. KNEE INJURIES: Iliotibial Band Syndrome: due to the excessive extension of the fibrous band of tissue that surrounds the external part of the knee caused by a poorly adjusted position of the cleat.

2. HIP INJURIES: The most relevant are the perineal injuries mainly as a consequence of the support on the saddle and the long hours of training and / or competition.

1. WRIST INJURY: Compression of the Ulnar Nerve: known as paralysis of cyclists, it occurs with loss of sensation in the fourth and fifth fingers or lack of strength.

2. FOOT INJURIES:Achilles Tendon Tendonitis: usually appears when hyperextension of the leg when pedaling overloading this area or by using new pedals and / or shoes.

1. CONTUSIONS: They are usually caused by direct trauma to the ground. They can account for between 15% -30% of injuries. They are not usually serious and cause bruising and inflammation. The most appropriate treatment for this injury is rest, ice and pain relievers or anti-inflammatories.

1. SKIN ABRASIONS OR BURNS:On the shoulders, hips, elbows, thigh or legs. Treatment is based on local cures and analgesia.

LIGAMENTOUS INJURIES:The most frequent are acromion-clavicular sprain, which can have different degrees of severity, depending on the integrity of the coracoclavicular ligaments.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY:The TCE production mechanism is a direct mechanism, that is, it occurs as a consequence of a direct blow to the ground on the rider's head. They can be from the cranial vault or from the base of the skull (in this case, blood or clear liquid can come out of the nose or ear) or bruises around the eyes. If the cyclist has suffered transient loss of consciousness with or without partial amnesia, vomiting, severe headache, bleeding from the ears or nose, asymmetry of the pupils or amnesia

CLAVICLE FRACTURE:It represents 13% of the total injuries. It is produced, almost always, by indirect trauma, when supporting the extended arm when falling. Treatment is immobilization of the arm for 8 weeks

RADIUS HEAD FRACTURE :They occur as a consequence of a fall on the outstretched hand, this causes a displacement of the valgus elbow and compression of the radius head. If the fracture is not displaced, it can be treated with a posterior splint. If not, they must be operated on.

THE PROTECTIONS

The helmet: The helmet not only covers the head but also the sides of the face and also from the mouth to the chin. The collar: The collar covers the neck and does not allow the neck to fall or have sudden or rapid movements that cause injury.

The chest: The bib covers the chest, shoulders and back to prevent fractures or perforations in the trunk of the body.

The diver: the diver must be long-sleeved, It is also required by the sports regulations of the bmx race.

The elbow pads: the elbow pads protect the elbows from a deep scratch.

Gloves: Gloves help protect hands from a burn.

The special pants: The pants are thicker than normal pants since they have protection on the sides of the hip (foams). The knee pads: the knee pads go from a little above the knee to the shins protecting those parts.

Sneakers: The shoes are special and necessary after a certain level since they have a metal socket (clips) on the sole that hooks with the pedal of the cycle (which is also special).

BASIC TRICKS OF THE BMX

Manual:balance keeping the front rim elevated, for this the body weight is pulled back and the handlebar is raised.

Nose Manual: balance keeping the rear tire raised, is the reverse of the Manual.

splitter output: This consists of reacting as quickly as possible to the sound of the starter by pushing the bicycle forward from a 2-meter ramp to approximately 20 meters.
