BMX world was synonymous with the lifestyle of young children today. A lifestyle that was clocked by each young man in his prime. History has given evidence. When "viral" BMX epidemic, since it is also the youth of this country-yack move "flow". Like a wave, this hobby has a tidal period showing. BMX world so quickly known but very easy to slide the level of popularity.
According to Muhammad Yusuf (26), one of his loyal devotee with a BMX bike, the late eighties and early nineties virtually bleak period for the development of BMX in Indonesia. Name BMX fan community already branded ugly by the layman's eyes. Smelling criminals, drugs and various other negative actions. Tail, lonely world of BMX racing arena. Sponsors were reluctant to disburse funds.
"At that time I got dizzy too. BMX prestige fell sharply, but even there the beginning of my love with this hobby. So, I play alone with my brother. After players ever, was bored and move on to play BMX MTB (mountain bike), "explained Joseph. He himself decided to stick with BMX hobby because of his love for the attraction and dance on the bike. "If used MTB to do more difficult, with no sidewalks live BMX jump over it.
Besides young people open a business that is currently supplying spare parts and accessories for it like living from BMX BMX hobby. Inevitably, it takes a deep sense of love and pursue consistency in a field. And Joseph was well aware of it. Be loyal to his players in the world of BMX this. My friends had already swallowed up the more senior the jungle town.
"BMX began to rise again in 1995. This is because some players still prefer the old gathered at the Senayan. After a long time why more and more who join. From there arose the idea, why BMX is not held back, "said Joseph.
Senayan community is also growing rapidly, and evolved into a central arena for the whole community gathered in Jakarta and surrounding BMX. Someone is coming from Kemayoran, Pulo Gebang, Cottage Coffee, Ciputat, even from Depok and Cikarang.
Joseph said, there is no association or a large container that holds the entire devotee BMX. Now, there is growing community based on location alone. But small amounts can be up to hundreds. "The one in Senayan's only just hangout. Not a container association. "
What does it say that Joseph has a point. BMX community that grows based on the location of play is very easy to find throughout the greater Jakarta area. Look at the Super Tetra, a BMX community founded by young children in the number of High Wood, Pulo Gebang and surrounding areas. This community has grown from frequency often meet and play together in one location.
Limitations of the tools for making sense of solidarity play thrives. Not infrequently, they must make themselves a board leap. Everything is completely independent. Looking for waste wood building projects, design to create the board. From there, cohesiveness and creativity intertwined with slick.
Abroad, the development of BMX was so advanced, they are not having trouble finding an arena to play for all classes. Sponsors many support a team. Everything was prepared very seriously. The most simple example, about technology. They already produce BMX bicycles with aluminum alloy, and titanium. As a result, more powerful bike but very lightweight durable invited to dance in the air. Young children we can only see it through magazines, internet and spectacle in the VCD. And for those that will be enough.
