The true origin of BMX was nothing more than kids on bicycles, typically Schwinn Stingrays, mimicing their motorcross heroes on small dirt dunes. But in 1973, Yamaha made a bicycle specifically for that purpose. It was called the Yamaha Moto-Bike.

In 1974, BMX was sanctioned into it's own type of sport with the creation of the "National Bicycle League". This same year saw the first bicycle frame made specifically for BMX: The Redline Squareback.
