My current bike is 20.4 TT with a 12.6 CS. Can it work doing this kind of riding?
They are on a bmx race track. Doesnt look like they are actually racing, more practicing their technique by pedaling through the rollers. You could do it on your bike, but you would be better off with a frame designed for racing if this is the path you want to take.
It’s racing, you can technically do it on any bike but honestly something a bit longer would work better for you. Ideally you would want to have a brake and a cassette hub. Have a look for a pump track near you and give it a go.
That’s the original BMX riding. Longer, lighter bikes with hard gearing for speed.
Everything BMX was born from gravel/dirt track racing

That’s *actual* BMX—bicycle(B) motocross(MX) racing—everything else that’s called BMX today stems from that.
You don’t need a special bike to try it out, but if you find that you want to pursue it/get serious about it you’ll benefit from getting a race bike.
This is the original BMX. Bicycle Motocross
