Motocross

Motocross is a form of motorcycle sport or all-terrain vehicle racing held on enclosed off-road circuits. The name “motocross” is a contraction derived from the words “Motorcycle” and “Cross Country”. Throughout the late 1980s and all during the 1990s, aftermarket companies kept the sport alive, but barely. In order to be competitive, it was necessary to spend upwards of $20,000 on the race ATV. In the late 90s, rules were changed to allow racers to use dirt bike engines in ATV frames.

• The sport is governed world wide by the FIM, with federations in many nations.
• One of the least understood aspects of motocross racing by non-participants is the extreme level of physical fitness required.
