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.

ATV Motocross
The United States continues to see a rise in popularity in ATV racing at motocross tracks nationwide. This is often attributed to "race-ready" ATVs from the manufacturers.
Flat Track racing is done on quarter-mile, half-mile, and one mile dirt ovals, typically held at fairgrounds and speedways. It also includes TT courses which include at least one right turn and a jump. It is the oldest form of American motorcycle racing. Speeds of over 100 miles per hour are common on mile and half mile tracks. The American Motorcyclist Association has been the sanctioning body of Flat Track racing in the United States, each year awarding the coveted #1 plate to their Grand National Champion.
