FMX is an almost acronym for freestyle MOTOcross-the F is for Sreestyle, the M is for Motorcycle and the X is a creative visualization of a cross intended to stand for cross country. You have to admit that FMX sounds a lot cooler than FMCC. The BMX guys copied it even though the M wasn't applicable to their sport since bicycles don't have motors. Moto is a French word for motorcycles. Freestyle Bicycle Cross Country would have been more accurate at the time, but FBCC doesn't sound very cool either. My point is that the 3 letters in all 3 cases aren't accurate acronyms, but because they sound cooler than the accurate initials, they have become what we call their respective sports. If you are a pro rider and want to be taken seriously by the Nikes, Under Armours, XGames, etc. of the sports world, you'll want to distance yourself from the sport your 5 year old daughter does in your driveway. How about when your 25 yrs old and meet a smoking hot girl...do you really want to tell her you ride a scooter for a living? Now, even if you don't see a problem here yet, wait until she has to explain it to her parents. My point is that it really doesn't matter what we call it, but a cool name will help the general public understand there is a difference in levels of scooter riders. In my research, it was clear that the term 'scooter rider' didn't accurately describe what the Funk Brothers do, nor did it implicate any kind of radical sport. 'SMX' was the easiest term for most people to understand as defining pro scooter riders.AJ Lofthttp://www.funkbrotherssmx.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-79569958114722682042015-12-14T19:40:23.012-06:002015-12-14T19:40:23.012-06:00Man what.

It's rare, funky ,and gives a bunch of people a sense of connection that they may have never felt prior. No origination that withholds a competition from us can change that connection and trying to change the image we have with a new three letter name for the sport is wacked. It needs a personality and for more people to do there own things and stick up for the sport the way it is.Michael Hohmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905140957620777999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134599951201795.post-31667596327048409182015-12-14T16:09:14.447-06:002015-12-14T16:09:14.447-06:00Cross post from the Youtubes:

I'm not 100% on this but I'd be willing to say that the term BMX came before FMX, since BMX originated around the '70s and FMX around the '90s. BMX doesn't even make sense unless it's talking about BMX racing, but since it's been around so long it isn't going to change. SMX would translate to "scooter motocross" and since few of us are doing scooter races it doesn't make sense. There's no use in attempting to rename our sport using a term that isn't accurate by basing it on another sport's inaccurate name.

Also, right as scooters are starting to get more respect from skaters and BMXers, they would have another big reason to hate again. "Scootering" doesn't really sound that bad anyway, but SMXing sounds pretty bad. I don't really see any reason to change the name of scootering at the moment, as long as people stop calling it "Scooting".anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735749407921702725noreply@blogger.com
