The connection of Pumptrack and the Olympics<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was a significant milestone in the history of BMX cycling when BMX cross made its debut at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and in 2020 Freestyle BMX was added to the Olympic programme. These two events opened a new chapter for the sport and had a major impact on the popularity and global recognition of BMX, as well as on the rules and structure of the sport.<\/p>\n

While pump tracks are not officially an Olympic event, they are increasingly seen as an important part of the future of BMX, and some are already speculating that pump tracks could become an Olympic sport themselves. The link between pump tracks and BMX is worth exploring in more detail, as they are not only fun, but also essential for the technical development of BMX.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-1″]
