Freestyle MX also known as FMX, developed from motocross
racing. As dirt bike suspension evolved, the man made jumps at
races got bigger and the bikes became airborne for longer. Some
riders started to use this air time to show off. They soon got
noticed and in a very short time became a big attraction for the
watching crowd.
Eventually unofficial jump
competitions at motocross and supercross race meetings became such
a big attraction that they got promoted at separate events and FMX
was born. Take off ramps were developed and in recent times lorry
based landing ramps have evolved.
All shows include radical
airborne motorcycle aerobatics while the rider performs airborne
gymnastic moves, - which can have multi rider line-ups and may
also be choreographed to music and commentary. |
