Motocross is the most physically demanding sport in the world today.
You cannot take into consideration the risk involved. People have died
from stunts and during races people are seriously injured every weekend.
But on the other hand its the most entertaining sport in the world :)
Hundreds of nations compete at profsional level inuding Chile, Brazil, UK, Canada, USA, Norway, Iceland, Portugal, New Zealand, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Spain and others
Unfortunately USA dominate the sport with Ricky Carmichael "THE GOAT" (Greatest of All Time)
being at the forefront of the starz n stripes having done 3 perfect seasons in the US mx champs and claiming 10 or more championship wins throughout his career.
Below is the legend of Travis Pastrana the FMX [Freestyle motocross] legend who has inspired the fmx world to go bigger and better by landing the first ever Double Backflip on soil! He is possibly the greatest FMX rider ever to grace the earth. But thats not all! Travis also boasts a career in US rally for team Subaru and also spent time doing motocross racing & Supermotard which for those of you who dont know - its a cross between motocross and supermoto!

Motocross is distinct from other forms of motorsport in having a mass start, where all the riders line up alongside each other, starting simultaneously and racing the race distance. The first rider across the finish is the winner of that "moto"; the number of motos may vary and points are added up to determine the final winner.
Motos vary in duration, measured in time elapsed plus one or two laps, or alternatively a fixed number of laps. Top level racing tends to have long races (e.g. 30 minutes plus 2 laps) while at the other end of the spectrum, amateur races can be as short as 5 minutes. When the designated time duration of the race is complete, a finish line flagger signals via a board or flag to the racers that there are one or two laps left, and the race is finished by a checkered flag.
Motocross tracks are often quite large (a mile or more) and incorporate natural terrain features with varying amounts of man-made jumps and other features. It is not unheard of for a Motocross track to be made up entirely of hills and turns with a few jumps. In contrast, Supercross is an entirely man-made track, comprised almost exclusively of a wide array of jumps, and is typically held in an large stadium or arena. Due to the size of outdoor tracks, motocross races typically include 40 racers, while supercross races usually have about 20 in the main events.
Contrasting with motocross are the off-road racing events of Enduro, Hare and Hounds, Hare Scrambles, et cetera. In these events there are a pre-determined number of laps or long distance loops to complete within a maximum time limit. These events, unlike Motocross, race on courses that are largely comprised of natural terrain. The Baja 1000 is an example of one of these types of events.

Its dangerous but offers a lot of excitement and reward. Been riding motocross bikes for about 2 and a half years now. Got my first bike when i was 14.
Had a suzuki 85cc small wheel. Then like a few months after i got a tricked out kawasaki 85cc big wheel.
And finally i got myself a Yamaha 125cc which goes like shit off a shovel. The acceleration is too good :p
I only have to rotate the throttle about 45 degrees and thats like fall acceleration. So off the line my
bike is better than a NOS boost :D
heres some pics of me
me on my kawasaki >
and finally thats me on the left racing someone, well im better dan da other guy :D
