If slamming whoops, carving berms and flying high over
jumps is your idea of fun, MOTOCROSS is the sport for you. Motocross tracks are
shaped from natural terrain, and produce fast, close exciting racing.
It is one of the most physically demanding forms of motorcycle sport and
tests both rider and their machines to the limit. Stadium Motocross and
Supercross are condensed forms of motocross conducted in both indoor and outdoor
stadiums. It is spectacular and presents riders with a demanding physical and
mental challenge.
