Motocross (often shortened to (MX) or MotoX) is a form of motorcycle racing or all-terrain vehicle racing held on enclosed off-road circuits and is widely considered the world's most popular form of motorcycle racing. Motocross is derived from the French, and was originally called Scrambling when the sport was invented in the UK. The first known race took place at Camberley, Surrey in 1924. The name "motocross" is a contraction derived from the words "Motorcycle" and "Cross Country". Motocross is often abbreviated as MX.
Motocross tracks are often quite large (around 1 to 2 miles) and incorporate natural terrain features with varying amounts of man made jumps and other features. It is not unheard of for a Motocross track to be made up entirely of hills and turns with no jumps at all. In contrast Supercross is an entirley man made track, comprisingly almost exclusively of a wide array of jumps and typically held in an indoor stadium.
Due to the size of the track, motocross races typically include 40 racers, in contrast to Supercross where it is only practical to have about 25.
