Well before you jump on your bike and hit the dirt, you need to make sure you have the right protective equipment. Motocross is a fun sport for riders young and old, but it can also be very dangerous. Wearing the proper protective gear will help keep you safe but it will also give you the peace of mind to have fun. Some items are absolute must-haves such as a helmet, boots and gloves.
Motocross races are organized on dirt tracks which are between half a mile to two miles. The width of the course or the track is between sixteen and forty feet. The course or the track is irregular and the rider only makes left and right turns. There are special inclines, switch back curves and obstacles inducing jumps throughout the course. Motocross uses a larger area, is noisier and the audience is much closer to a particular section of the track. Supercross tracks vary from one venue to another.
