Set against the urban landscape of Bronx, New York, BmX is the story of Rob, a twenty-something extreme BMX bike riding enthusiast balancing a less than stellar financial position with the overwhelming desire to be the next best extreme BMX biker. Rob’s dreams of course do not lay themselves in a straight line to success given the demands bike riding can make on personal relationships and time. How does a young man with high hopes navigate limited resources toward a less than conventional occupation?
