BMX Freestyle

BMX Freestyle brought action-sports energy to the Olympics, with riders on brakeless 20-inch bikes linking 60-second runs of tailwhips, barspins, flips, and other big-air tricks across a park course of ramps and walls. Judged on Difficulty, Height, Originality, and Execution, every clean landing matters, and the top trick is the "Flair," a backflip plus 180-degree turn. The result is a fast, creative showcase of control and style.
