If you ever watched motocross videos before, you realize that the sport is exciting and dangerous. People take amazing crashes, and live! BMX bicycle racing is just as exciting without the noise and the scream of the engines. By watching BMX videos you will see that there are several different kinds of bikes in BMX racing. BMX racing has the same excitement as motorcycle races that are held on a single lap racetrack. The type of bike used in BMX racing is a BMX class bicycle which is strong, light weight and quick handling. They normally have 20 inch wheels for kids and 24 inch wheels for adults. The BMX racers compete individually but there are often teams that are formed to share the enthusiasm and some are even sponsored by businesses for team events. Believe it or not, BMX racing will become an official Olympic sport in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

By watching BMX videos you can share the same excitement of motocross but also see how the sports are different. Instead of horsepower, these bikes are run on manpower and are able to achieve jumps comparable to many motorcycle tricks. If you are a beginner you should start out on a BMX track that is made for beginners. Just as in motocross, the BMX track is constructed so that you have smaller jumps and can practice your aerials at a lower height. With the thrill of a bungee jump, the BMX rider throws his bicycle high in the air and some professional riders can even do somersaults or crossovers on the handlebars during the flight.

Some of the bike manufacturers of BMX bikes are listed here: Haro; roadkill.com; Brooklyn Machine Works in New York makes frames; Diamondback in the UK have been around for thirty years; Freeagent sells ramps and bikes. There are so many more. With so many categories of bikes within the BMX class including race series, vertical, dirt jump, trail and street trail you can get a very specific bike for your needs.

A lot of bike frames come from China. Who knows what kind of weld control is used on those frames? Ask your bike maker what kind of quality control goes into the frames including the quality of metal and the welds. If you are going to put serious g-forces into your bike while jumping you want a frame that will stay together. Make sure you get a quality frame from whatever source you choose. It might be more than you bargained for to crash and have your bike spear you in an unpleasant place at the end of a jump. Pay for quality if that’s what you need. If you’re just riding around town on a bike that looks cool but not doing any serious tricks, any old frame will do.

Do you often wake up feeling groggy or like you got up on the wrong side of the bed?  Many people think this is because they are just morning people and often get the feeling of “I hate mornings” when in reality, there could be a more complex reason you are waking up day after day feeling like you got hit by a truck!  More than likely it is because your regular old standard alarm clock is not waking you up at the right time believe it or not!  How can this be?  You have trusted this clock to wake you up at the same time day after day, week after week, year after year? 

Well, yes, it is true it is waking you up at the time you ask it to, but is it the ideal time?  Probably not.  Your body goes through many various sleep cycles and because your standard alarm clock can not tell where you are at in your sleep cycle you are often awakened abruptly while you are in a deep sleep.  This alone can cause you to feel tired and grouchy all day!  The SleepTracker Pro Alarm Watch simply fixes this problem by monitoring where you are at in your sleep cycle and wakes you at the right moment making you feel much more refreshed and alert.

How does it know and how does this work you might ask?  Great question!  The Sleep Tracker watch wakes you at your “almost awake” moment by monitoring these moments.  Almost Awake moments happen throughout your sleep cycle and only last for 20 seconds or so and can be monitored by movements your body makes.  You simply set the SleepTracker Alarm Watch at a range that is ok to awaken, for example 6AM to 6:30 AM.  The watch will then find the ideal wake up moment for you in that 1/2 hour range and wake you at that time!  Simple as that, you are now refreshed, feeling like you got a much better nights sleep.

All you have to do is wear this comfortable watch to bed each night.  The SleepTracker Pro Alarm Watch offers many features including downloadable sleep data to your PC, vibrating or ringing alarm and a time and date stamp so you can use it as a regular watch as well.

The SleepTracker Alarm Watch has been seen on Dr. Phil in the past and has some great press coming out again in the next week to give it even 2 more thumbs up!  It may be worth it for you to try the SleepTracker Pro Alarm Watch and see if it helps you feel refreshed throughout your day.  You can get the watch at Serenityhealth.com as well as read about all the Sleep Tracker Alarm Features and how it works.
