Motocross

Motocross is form of motorcycle or ATV racing held on enclosed off-road circuits. Motocross is derived from the French, and was originally called Scrambling when the sport was "invented" in the UK. The name "motocross" is a contraction derived from the words "Motorcycle" and "Cross Country". Motocross is often abbreviated to MX.

Freestyle Motocross

Freestyle motocross (FMX), a relatively new sport, is not racing and concentrates on performing acrobatic stunts while jumping these motorcycles. The winner is chosen by a group of judges. The riders are scored on style, level of trick difficulty (the most difficult trick being done at this time is a backflip 360, or off axis backflip), best use of the course, often times crowd reactions as well. Caleb Wyatt was the first person to successfully execute a backflip on a large bike.
