Motocross is a colourful all-action sport
previously known as scrambling. It mostly takes place in winter, but now
you can enjoy the sport all year round in all weather conditions.
The enclosed dirt tracks are laid out over natural or man-made
undulating terrain, with spectacular jumps and turns. Races can last from
ten to 40 minutes depending on the profile of the event. One of the great
thrills for both competitors and spectators is the mass start with up to 40
riders racing to get to the first bend.
Motocross is very much a family sport, suitable for all ages
and abilities. From as young as six years of age boys and girls can
compete on automatic machines. There are age and capacity classes,
including classes for sidecars and quads that progress right through to adult
status. Even if you are not in the first flush of youth, there will be
something for you too, with pre-65 twin shock, junior and expert classes.
