I have been asked this question many time in the flurry of calls and emails that I have been getting lately. Apparently some people do not know how to start. Never fear! We are here!

Jack Baruth or Jim Boswell (his pen name) as he is known as has an excellent website at http://www.bmxbasics.org with lots of insightful articles.

There is another site here that also has a brief description.
So with that in mind, get your stuff together and if I have not welcomed you before, welcome to the world of BMX! Youth Olympics here we come!
