Dirt Bike Racing Spawns a Number of Offshoot Motor Sports
from: Maxx Sports GuidesDirt bike racing is an exciting sport to watch. It's impressive to see riders gunning their bikes over rough and muddy terrain or performing death defying jumps.
It's always exciting to see a bike accelerating and kicking up dirt or manoeuvring sharp turns. Even the crashes are spectacular.
Dirt Bike racing has become so popular that offshoots of the main sport have emerged.
One of the offshoots of dirt bike racing is freestyle motocross. This is a relatively new sport. Instead of focusing on racing it focuses on riders doing stunts. Judges score the riders according to the complexity, style, level of the trick's difficulty, best use of the course and crowd reaction.
Freestyle motocross stunts are awesome to behold, especially the high jumps that often exceed 50 feet. Riders do back flips, one hand seat grabs and other truly spectacular stunts.
Mini Pit Bikes
Another offshoot of dirt bike racing is the emergence of mini bikes or Pit bikes. Pit bikes were originally designed for motocross riders to navigate the Pits, or the area assigned for parking.
The Pit bikes were also designed for children who are interested in motocross. Adults began adding taller handle bars, improved the bike's suspension and other parts. From there, the craze grew and people began racing pit bikes.
Pit bikes are smaller and cheaper than standard dirt bikes. They have smaller tires, reinforced frames and powered by 75 cc to 147 cc engines.
Still another offshoot of dirt bike racing is the Supermoto, which started in the 1970s as a side project for many road racers.
In 1980, UK racing journalist Gavin Trippe organized races that pitted top road motorcyclists and motocross racers against one another on specially designed tracks.
Supermoto Races Back in U.S.
The sport died in the U.S. after 1985, but it gained popularity in Europe. By 2003, Supermoto was back again in the US.
Supermoto races involve specially modified off road bikes that can run at high speeds on race tracks consisting of pavement and dirt. Some tracks also have jumps, beams and pits, just like a standard motocross event.
Sidecar racing is another offshoot. Sidecars are installed on standard dirt bikes. This means that every bike carries two passengers.
The sport is physically demanding, especially for the passenger who acts as a counterbalance.
All these dirt bike racing offshoots are as exciting as the parent sport. If you're looking for unique adventure, why not try one or more of them?
