Hello everybody,
I need your help: what verb would you use with bicycle motocross (freestyle BMX)
to ride bicycle motocross? to practice bicycle motocross? to do BMX (sounds strange to me!)
thanks for your help :)

You can ride a BMX, ride a motocross bike (always the noun after �motocross �, not before), compete in or participate in motocross (without the �bike �). There may well be other expressions reb77 but the foregoing are the one I have heard. |

I have heard people say, "My son does motorcross", so the verb to do is also used. You can also use �participates in � �involved with �. I have not heard however, "My son rides motorcross", but "My son rides a BMX bike" is okay.
