What is motocross racing? Motocross is a form of racing that is performed on a natural terrain dirt track with an assortment of different obstacles. Its roots date back to England in the year 1924 when an event called “A Rare Old Scrambles at Chamberley Heath” took place. It has evolved into a sport that involves extremely specialized motorcycles. The riders are being paid salaries of one million dollars a year and more.
Motocross began in Europe in the early twentieth century with a bunch of competitive guys wanting to have some fun. It has been performed by many different people on many different machines. The track type and motorcycle has changed drastically over that time, but the competitive heart of the sport has not. Most people still do it for the competition and to have fun. I’m sure the young men who organized the first race in England had no idea it would evolve into what it has become today. They should be proud. If you ever get the chance to experience a professional motocross race do yourself a favor and give it a try. You will not be disappointed.
