Freestyle Motocross

The freestyle motocross began in the 90’s by different riders who wanted to modify the traditional competition of motocross. This discipline consists in making diverse tricks while the motorcycle is on the air when the riders jump. They use many typically gears of the same they use Cohen riding motocross race. These gears are: helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, jersey and MX pants

 

Many riders have a lot of accidents while training and running. One case happened here in Costa Rica; two years ago with a famous rider whose name was Jeremy Lusk. And I say “his name was”, because when he crashed in “Red Bull X-Fighters”, two weeks later he died in a hospital in L.A. These kinds of news or accidents are very sad for the freestyle. 

 

Nowadays, this extreme sport gathers thousands of people to enjoy the exhibition of different tricks in diverse sceneries and countries. I like it very much. It’s very exciting to watch on T.V. and still more on live. Maybe in the future I could practice this extreme sport.
