BMX in Stuttgart

The street is your skatepark! The great thing about BMX Street: every stair set, ledge, and curb can become your spot. However, to practice the basics and new tricks in peace, Stuttgart offers a variety of skateparks and plazas. There you will regularly meet other riders (locals) who are happy to help and give you tips.

This is all about ramps, airtime, and flow. For everyone who loves to catch air. BMX Freestyle Park is now an official sport within the International Cycling Union (UCI) and has even been an Olympic discipline since 2020! Unfortunately, there is currently no real facility directly in Stuttgart that allows for proper, professional BMX park riding – an issue we are actively advocating for with the Stuttgart Sports Department.

Parks & Bowls:

• Bowl & Skateplaza Waiblingen: A bowl landscape up to 2.35m deep with a massive spine, which already hosted the Vans Pro-Cup, an international BMX contest.

Stuttgart is one of the flatland strongholds in Germany. This discipline is all about balance, technique, and patience. BMX Flatland is also now an official sport in the International Cycling Union (UCI), with regular National, European, and World Championships. Our connection to the scene is deeply rooted: CEO Daniel Fuhrmann and kunstform founder Sebastian Pospischil are former flatland professionals themselves and are still active today.

Flatland Spots:

• Haus der Geschichte (HDG): The legendary spot, named Johann-Lorenz-Schiedmayer Platz in 2025, is located between the House of Representatives and the House of History. Smooth ground, partially roofed, and a relaxed atmosphere.

BMX Race is the ideal sport for conditioning, speed, and catching air. On a specially prepared track with a starting gate, big jumps, and berms, riders compete directly against each other. BMX Race is the most original BMX discipline, is organized by the International Cycling Union (UCI), and has been a fixed part of the Olympic Games since 2008. There is also a national league (Bundesliga), meaning regular races take place, including the Baden-Württemberg Cup, German Championships, Euro Cup, European Championships, World Championships, and much more.

Important Equipment:
Please note: A full-face helmet and gloves are mandatory equipment on the race track!

Although pumptracks are often ridden with BMX bikes, it is a discipline in its own right and a fantastic full-body workout. Just like BMX Race and Flatland, Pumptrack is now an official sport in the International Cycling Union (UCI)! Here, you don't build speed by pedaling, but by targeted pushing and pulling (pumping) of the bike over rollers and through berms. A pumptrack is also the perfect foundation for learning bike control and the right feel for transitions.

Which bike is the right one?
That entirely depends on your goal: If your main focus on the pumptrack is pure speed and racing for the best time, you should choose an extremely lightweight BMX Race Bike. However, if you are more about style, flow, or want to throw in some tricks while riding, a classic BMX Freestyle Bike is definitely the better choice.

Pumptracks:

Asphalt pumptracks are currently springing up everywhere around Stuttgart. Very popular and good tracks can be found in Weilimdorf, Köngen, Rommelshausen, Sindelfingen, or Ehningen, for example.
