I’m always hearing that the hobby of BMX is dying. I’ve even felt it myself. I was reading into it and it appears BMX is growing and has future growth plans.
Sometimes it feels like I’m the only one who like a BMX type bicycle even for urban exploring.
Full article will be in next post under.

[BMX Market Size](https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/bmx-bike-market-105601#:~:text=The%20sports%20segment%20held%20a,the%20growth%20of%20this%20segment)
It’s absolutely not. I’ve never in 25+ years seen sales as bad as it is.
Bmx has died a few times from what I’ve heard
I would imagine thats based off bike value and inflation rather than bikes in the wild. We can dream though.
What the fuck is this lol? Just a perfect, straight linear growth? Nothing at all happened around 2019-2020? Just regular old business as usual?
Do wheelie bikes count as BMX for these figures?
Theres been way more kids hyped on bikes lately than the past 10 years. bmx still holds the skatepark bronze medal though. At least we arent as extinct as roller blades, but will never touch skateboard and scooters success because they are way more accessible to the lower income households.
It probably is since there’s more people living today, but it doesn’t feel like it did back in the mid to late 80’s when it was everywhere. I remember my first Redline RL20a with a gyro, getting it after my neighbors dad accidentally ran over my Predator..LOL! Edit:typos
If sales of department store 20in bikes is what BMX is about then maybe there is “growth”. On the article putting GT there who just shutdown there BMX team makes this article really a joke.
I definitely see more skaters at the park but alot of more kids are on bikes nowadays
The “market size” seems to be purely off population and age demographic..
However. I can assure you as a 40yr old lifer.. this is not even remotely accurate. Tho I wish it was. 😆
I don’t know if there is a single fact in that whole article.
BMX is the most popular bike category in BMX.
Fact.
What does this mean?
10 years ago everyone I know had a BMX
Now I can’t find someone local to ride with to save my life
Also, the price of bikes has skyrocketed.
Is that what this represents?
I live in nyc , and it’s so hare to see a BMXer if ur not at an event.
… and here I am still rolling with my 80’s GT Performer.
Me and 4 friends just bought our first bmx bikes at 23 so I’d say people are still picking it up 🙂
This is untrue unfortunately and this article is absolute garbage. Has to be AI.
They extrapolated 14 years from 2 data points… If that’s how it works then Obama is still the president and will be for another 50 years!
Ok, let’s pan out to the 80s and 90s
Dude it ain’t 2032 lol. I wonder when this was made and whether or not it’s accounting for shit like inflation.
BMX isn’t thriving and it isn’t dying. But it certainly isn’t the best it’s ever been (not even close to what it was like in the dew tour and Nike 6.0 days).
