In the UK, BMX was a craze which took off in the early 1980's, specifically 1982-1983, when it became the "must have" bicycle for children and teenager. Previously a small niche area, BMX exploded during this time into the dominant bicycle for the younger rider, with older teenagers and even adults becoming known names through publications like BMX Bi weekly. The shift to Freestyle from Racing came in 1985 with popular styling moving from chrome frames and contrasting components in black blue or red being the norm, to brightly coloured bikes in one colour only, including their mag wheels and even matching tyres. Because BMX exploded into Britain's streets so suddenly, it was not surprising that it imploded with similar speed, when the kids who rode the bikes left school and went to work. By 1986-1987 sales in the UK had dropped off dramatically, with the new ATB or "Mountain Bike" taking off and taking the BMX bike's place.
