BMX Gate 😨 EXPLAINED

A minor mistake by any rider at the starting gate in this race can trigger a serious pile-up before the race even starts. BMX racing begins with all riders lined up at the gate, waiting for it to drop and signal the start. The riders push off with all their strength to gain speed and take an early lead, but timing is everything. If anyone moves too soon, they can lose balance or cause a chain reaction that leads to crashes. That’s why racers spend years perfecting their timing and technique to avoid disasters at the start.
