it was invented by a bunch of kids copiying motox riders, and it started in the 1960s.

Hard to put an exact date on it because BMX evolved from kid's mimmicking their Motocross heroes on dirt hills using 20" bikes (typically Schwinn Stingrays).

The first bicycle made specifically to mimmick the motocross riders that early BMX riders were mimmicking was the Yamaha Moto-Bike in 1973.

BMX became "official" in 1974 when George E. Esser founded the NBL, which officially sanctioned BMX races.

The first official BMX bike (bike made specifically for the sport of BMX), with the frame design as we know it today, was in late 1974 with the introduction of the Redline Squareback.

I don't know the exact year but it all started when kids were takin their bikes off dirt bike jumps and bike companies decided to make their parts stronger

it has been around since schwinn invented the bike stingray an established the first race the sting ray bike was in the movie "et"

1982: The Haro Freestyler built by Torker for Haro Designs.

Although BMX as an organized sport has been around since 1974, you couldn't really say it hit the big time until 1982 when the first world championships were held.
