1. Gravity and how BMX wouldn’t work without it. By jaidyn heath

2. What's gravity? Gravity is a force pulling together all matter (which is anything you can physically touch). The more matter, the more gravity, so things that have a lot of matter such as planets and moons and stars pull more strongly. Mass is how we measure the amount of matter in something. The more massive something is, the more of a gravitational pull it exerts. As we walk on the surface of the Earth, it pulls on us, and we pull back. But since the Earth is so much more massive than we are, the pull from us is not strong enough to move the Earth, while the pull from the Earth can make us fall flat on our faces.

3. How it relates to BMX. In BMX you do tricks. You do tricks by getting air and then landing safely on the ground. The more tricks you do or the more air you get the better it will look. Without gravity we would all just be floating around and you wouldn’t be able to ride bikes or any thing that entails continuous connection with the ground.

4. Summary: Gravity is the most important component in not only BMX but all sport. And with it the amazing riders that wow us with their stunts can continue to defy it.
