motocross Introduction
Motocross, also abbreviated as MX, is the combination from the words ¡°Motorcycle¡± and ¡°Cross Country¡±.
The motorcycles used in the motocross races are lightweight and powered by two stroke or four stroke engines. The engines are highly tuned with absorbent suspension designed to deal with the shock of heavy landings, and short gearing designed for swift acceleration rather than high top speed.
Many MX racers begin when they're young, and grow up in the sport as a family activity. But it is not the rule and if you like, you can start at any age, especially for enthusiastic trail rider, or those who love riding dirt bikes or racing when they are young.
Motorcross racing is one of the most appealing forms of motorsport, with riders performing seemingly death defying leaps, turns visibly at the edge of traction, and the effort of riders clearly visible as the move their bodies around their motorcycles to balance the bikes for maximum speed.
Capitalising on this appeal, a variant called "Supercross" has evolved, held on tighter tracks in sports stadiums with more, even higher jumps.

Freestyle Motocross Tricks
Freestyle motocross employs many tricks of varying difficulty.
- Perhaps the most difficult of all tricks is the ¡°Body Varial,¡± also called the ¡°Carolla¡± after its inventor Chuck Carothers .
- The 'Can-Can' is one of the simplest FMX tricks. It involves the rider taking one of his legs and sticking it out on the otherside of the bike in front of him.
- The 'Cliffhanger' consists of the rider placing his feet on top of or underneath the handlebars and than reaching up towards the sky as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff. Variations of this include the 'Jackhammer' and the 'Christ Air'
- The "Coffin/Dead Body" involves the rider sticking his legs between his arms and stretching back so he is laying flat above the bike, as if he were in a Coffin.
- The ¡°Double Backflip¡± was completed by Travis Pastrana . This trick was pulled off for the first time ever in competition during the 2006 X Games.
- Double Grab
- Fender Grab
- Hart Attack Invented by Carey Hart
- The ¡°Heel Clicker¡± is another elementary FMX trick. It consists of the rider clicking his heels together over the handlebars while in the air.

- The ¡°Kiss-of-Death,¡± where the rider moves his body straight up and his motorcycle straight down, is one of the more difficult tricks.
