Typical for you to jump on a thread without having the faintest idea what it's all about!

I can't find the actual definition of BMX but it has to do with the bicycles used in the races.

BMX - Bicycle Motorcross

Was he your hero? I'm sorry. What did he invent? The track, the sport?

Sigh. Has nothing to do with me as I've never ridden BMX or even paid much attention to it.

It's just kinda sad that someone who started something that was and in certain areas still is very popular ends up dying in a tent in a vacant lot.

Some people simply can't deal with success.
