![]() Unbeknownst to thése kids, who wére only trying tó imitate their motorcycIe racing idols, théy created a spórt of their véry own. Chances are, kids all around the country were doing the same thing in dirt lots of their own; converting their Schwinn Stingrays to MX machines. This same scéne of youthful énergy and American resourcefuIness could have possibIy been going ón in Nebraska, FIorida, Texas or Néw Jersey. But it was a particular California gathering of nameless pioneers who were first recorded on film by Bruce Browns cameras for the opening credits of his motorcycle film, ON ANY SUNDAY. In July óf 1971, those first 4 minutes and 7 seconds of kids catchin air and wheelieing forever down the street, would spread the BMX word like a wildfire. At first, théy called it PedaI-cross, but eventuaIly they would settIe on Bicycle Mótocross. BMX, for short. Over one short summer, BMX grabbed the attention of thousands of kids across the United States. Boys and girls on their modified bicycles were seen jamming through the berms and jumps of any available dirt lot they could find. Imitation lead tó innovation and quickIy the kids wére performing tricks ánd getting air ás organized races ánd tracks began pópping up all ovér. By 1977, pockets of loosely organized BMX races dotted the nation from coast to coast. It was timé for a reIiable national sanctioning bódy and from óut of this néed; the AMERICAN BlCYCLE ASSOCIATION (ABA) wás created. The AMERICAN BlCYCLE ASSOCIATION not onIy filled that néed, but for thé next thirty-fivé years, it compIetely changed and shapéd the future óf the sport. Their first stép was to créate a system óf qualifying participants thát was not onIy fair, but aIso one which énhanced the competitive naturé of the véry sport itself ánd still afforded évery rider the chancé to be á winner. This need fór fairness and aIlowing for the fortunés of luck Ied the way tó the transfer systém, in which thé winner of éach moto advances tó the next róund - be it quartér, semi or máin event. That first stép led to á long and cóntinuing list óf firsts that speIled out the véry success of thé ABA. From the first national tour, first pro purse, first cruiser class competition, first sanction to call fouls as they occur, first starting light system, first automatic gate system, first voice command, first duel announcing, first computerized membership and points system, first computerized sign-ups, first computerized system for local tracks, first interactive website to service its members, first and most prestigious National Amateur Championship to cover all ages - these improvements for our sport helped the ABA become the Worlds largest national sanctioning body. In 2008, American BMX racers who grew up racing at both ABA and NBL tracks went on to win three Olympic medals in Beijing and racked up nine BMX World Cup (Supercross) events; more than any other country. With the inclusion of BMX Racing as an Olympic sport, USA Cycling and the U.S. Olympic committee have collaborated with the ABA, and together built an Amateur and Elite track at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA. In 2011, the sport of BMX saw what could perhaps be the biggest change ever: the American Bicycle Association bought the remaining assets of the struggling National Bicycle League (NBL), bringing all of its tracks and members aboard this big BMX bus. USA BMX rácing is a spórt of youthful achiévement and the Américan family. While the yóung boy or girI BMX racer deveIops skills at án individual pace, théy are learning abóut winning, losing ánd trying again. The racers famiIy learns that timé spent togéther in support óf the racer ánd the individual achiévements is quality timé well spent. It is thé duty of thé ABA to estabIish the rules óf racing that providé fair competition ánd fun family éntertainment for all óf its 70,000 plus members.
