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.

The white cross flag
Some leagues use a black flag with a white saltire. It is displayed with a car number if a driver ignores the other black flags for an extended period of time, and indicates that that car is no longer being scored. In IndyCar, an orthogonal cross is used instead of a saltire.
