Motocross History
There has not been a great deal of historical research about motocross. Most motorcycle historians accept that motocross originated somewhere in France.
Motocross was originally called scrambling in the UK.
The earliest motorcycles were little more than bicycles with small internal combustion engines attached. The most common types of events were track races, endurance trials, and hill climbs.
During the 1930s, motorcycle racing became enormously popular in Great Britain.
In the late 1960's, the European masters of motocross began to export their talents and technology to North America.
Today, the AMA U.S. Motocross and Supercross Championships are the nation's best-attended motorsport on dirt.
