The history of Motocross

Motocross for some people is a way of living. Dirt bike racing meant very different things than it does today. Motocross as we know it did not even exist here in the states. It was exclusively a European sport, raced half way around the world by riders with names few Americans could even pronounce.  In the early days, manufacturers entered their motorcycles in competitive events to publicize their brand and prove their performance and durability, just as they still do today. The most common types of events were track races, endurance trails, and hill climbing. Endurance trials are on both roads and dirt, track races are on all dirt and hill climbing is on big long hills.  Motocross has come along way since it first started. Its a great sport and always a fun time to go to watch.
