Illegal competitions

In Mallorca there are many illegal competitions, where young people their tricket motorcycles, compete with other people in secondary roads, polygons or within the same village. It's a great danger to them, because they go too fast and they all compete to win and only think about themselves, and do not think about the danger that has circulated at those speeds, especially in the villages, because there are also other vehicles, do not know that careers are made, and also involves a great danger to them. But the young, really like the speed, and above compete against other young, because what they like is that his bike is the fastest and they want to show it. If the police catches those competitors would suppose a large fine for them as they lead faked motorbikes, organize illegal competitions, and many of them don't have any papers of the motorbike or have a driving license, or don't go with the obligatory insurance . So when one of the competitors see the police, what they do is occur to the flight, which also involves a great danger to all drivers.

Sports derived from motocross

Freestyle
Freestyle Motocross (FMX), a relatively new variation of supercross, does not involve racing and instead concentrates on performing acrobatic stunts while jumping motocross bikes. The winner is chosen by a group of judges. The riders are scored on style, level of trick difficulty, best use of the course, and, frequently, crowd reactions. FMX was introduced to the X Games and mainstream audiences in 1999.


Supermoto
Supermoto involves taking a motocross bike meant to be raced off-road and converting it to be raced on tracks consisting of both dirt and road. The bikes are fitted with special road-racing tires with grooved tread to grip both the pavement and dirt. Some tracks for these race events have jumps, berms, and whoops just like true motocross tracks. For special events, the Supermoto track may incorporate metal ramps for jumps that can be disassembled and taken to other locations. Supermoto races may take place at modified go-kart tracks, road racing tracks, or even street racing tracks. There are also classes for kids such as the 85 cc class. Supermoto got its start in the late 1970s as a fun side project for many road racers. Its first exposure to a wide audience came on the American television program ABC's Wide World of Sports in 1979. UK racing journalist Gavin Trippe envisioned a racing event that would prove who the best motorcycle racer was and from 1980 to 1985, he organized a yearly event called "The Superbikers", which pitted the top road racers and motocross racers against one another on specially modified bikes raced on special tracks on the television show. After 1985, the sport died and received little exposure, but in Europe, the sport started gaining popularity, and in 2003 it was revived in the United States, when the name became "Supermoto".


ATV - Quad motocross
Throughout the United States and the United Kingdom there are many quad racing clubs with enduro and quadcross sections. GNCC Racing began around 1980 and includes hare scramble and enduro type races. To date, events are mainly held in the eastern part of the United States. GNCC racing features many types of obstacles such as, hill climbing, creek and log crossings, dirt roads and wooded trails.
ATV National Motocross Championship was formed around 1985. ATVMX events are hosted at motocross racetracks throughout the United States. ATVMX consists of several groups, including the Pro (AMA Pro) and Amateur (ATVA) series. Championship mud racing (CMR) saw its infancy in 2006 as leaders of the ATV industry recognized a need for uniformity of classes and rules of various local mud bog events. Providing standardized rules created the need for a governing body that both racers and event promoters could turn to and CMR was born. Once unified, a true points series was established and lead to a national championship for what was once nothing more than a hobby for most. In 2007 the finalized board of directors was established and the first races were held in 2008. Currently, the CMR schedule includes eight competition dates spanning from March to November. Points are awarded throughout the season in several different competition classes of ATV and SxS Mud Racing. The 2008 year included Mud Bog and Mudda-Cross competitions, but the 2009 and future seasons will only have Mudda-Cross competitions. Classes range from 0 to 499 cc, to a Super-Modified class which will allow any size ATV in competition.


Supercross
Supercross is a cycle racing sport involving racing specialized high performance off-road motorcycles on artificially made dirt tracks consisting of steep jumps and obstacles. Professional Supercross contest races are held almost exclusively within professional baseball and football stadiums. Many notable differences exist from regular motocross. Supercross tracks generally have much shorter straights & tighter turns and are more technical than motocross tracks due to the limited space of an indoor arena. The supercross season takes place during the winter and spring months, partially due to more controllable indoor climates involved.
The supercross season travels throughout the entire United States, going a different city every weekend for the next race. There are 17 races in the 2011 and 2012 Monster Energy AMA/FIM Supercross schedule. The Supercross Lites riders series is split into two series the East and the West Coast. The Supercross class has one large series where they travel from east to west for the race and even go to Canada for a couple rounds out of the series. Racers only get a month or two off out of the year between the Supercross and the motocross series, Racers endure crazy jumps and obstacles in their Supercross races that they have to endure for a heat race and a main event.


SideJeep's
Sidecar racing, known as Sidecarcross has been around since the early 50's, but has declined in popularity since the mid 80's.Esta variant is common in Europe, with a few followers in the United States, New Zealand and Australia .. The competition first level, Sidecarcross world Championship, is contested on European tracks only and almost exclusively by Europeans. Motocross sidecars are purpose built frames that resemble an ordinary motocross-cycle with a flat platform to stand on it attached to each side and a handlebar at waist height to hold on. The side of the "chair" (slang for the platform) usually follows the side of the road the nation in question drives, but not always. The passenger balances the bike by being a counterweight, especially in corners and on jumps. Crosstracks is driven.


It is very physically demanding, especially for the passenger. This is reflected in most in the Swedish term for passenger burkslav, roughly translated as trunk / body / barrel-slave. .This Name comes from the early sidecars where the platform looked like a real road-sidecar and not today's platform Main structure builders today are VMC, BSU, AYR, EML and Woodenleg. Common motors can be used, but size matters and two engines are designed to be built for sidecars, Zabel (Germany) yMTH (Austria) are most common. Four-strokes are increasingly common, usually KTM (Austria).


Pit bikes and mini-motocross
Pit bikes are small motorbikes that participants in powersports events use to walk around the pits, which are rest areas where the vehicles support team. More recently, they have been used in races held at any supercross track and motocross.Numerosos performance and aesthetic upgrades are often applied to pit bikes.

Originally, there was only one way to acquire a pit bike.Un buy a minibike rider of a child, usually a Honda CRF 50 or Kawasaki KLX110, and applied all necessary upgrades and modifications to build a competitive pit bike. Of course, a rider could also buy a used bike. Since 2004, manufacturers have begun designing, manufacturing, importing and selling complete bikes and pits. These bikes are less expensive and require less time to complete.

Pits bicycles are driven by 4-stroke horizontal engines, single cylinder that range anywhere scroll 49 & nbsp; 195 cc & nbsp; cc. A typical pit bike is usually a small motocross, but has become common to buy pit bikes with street wheels and tires style. Pit bikes with street tires, as opposed to knobby tires, are used in Mini Supermoto Racing.

Bike Pits are often personalized with decorations accessories and parts for improved performance. Pilots and mechanics replaced many engines in order to increase the displacement and thus the output power. Systems heavy duty suspension, are often a necessary addition, since the mini-bike suspension actions were designed for a small child. Updates on wheels, brakes and tires are sometimes performed to improve handling.


Pit bikes also have their own separate competitions held with classes generally corresponding to wheel size. This is a notable difference from Motocross competition and Supercross, where classes are separated by engine displacement. Pit bike racing is a relatively new niche of motocross, and as such, there is no official body similar to the AMA government.
