Off-road motorsport involving small capacity (50 - 600cc) two and four stroke motorcycles with massive suspension. Motocross originated from flat grasstrack racing on unduating terrian which increasingly involved humps, bumps, and jumps, to the point that today's modern tracks are almost totally man-made courses that sees competitors challenged by the obstacles almost as much as other riders.
Motocrosss as a sport is a balance between fitness and skill. More like tennis or soccer than marathon running or archery, a successful motocross rider must have fast reflexes; a wiry, supple strength; enough endurance for the rider to perform at lactate threshold intensity for 30-60 minutes; bike handling skills learned from hundreds or even thousands of hours of practice; and enough daring and confidence in their ability to tackle the most dangerous obstacles without fear of concequence.

So it was like, Whoa! Check the killer quads coming outa the back straight! I just knew I needed to be in front of Jimbob before we hit them, he couldn't handle his quads, and I didn't wanna be tailing him... If he holeshotted, I'd have to try to take him out over the whoops in the second straight... He'd understand and be cool about it. This IS Motocross after all.

An alternative motorsport for short guys and rednecks who continue to wear flat billed hats, monster energy drink apparel, and fake diamond earrings well into their 30's.
Participants and fans routinely claim motocross is the most physically demanding sport in the world despite the lack of any objective evidence supporting the claim.
Events are usually centered around binge drinking shitty beer, getting a little too racist, and hot girls who are usually hired by the respective energy drink sponsor to flirt with the fans, often consisting of guys who would have partied wayyy too hard at community college had they gotten in.
Motocross fans are culturally akin to fans of professional wrestling; quick to find ways to justify their enjoyment of the motorsport by: (1) drunkenly spouting out baseless claims relating to the physically demanding nature of motocross, (2) trying to convince you to go to a race by harping on the entertainment value of the event, or (3) bringing up nostalgic motocross memories from their childhood. Which when described to you may reveal more about their personal character than you wished to know.

MX Bro: Bro, the best athletes in the world bro... **takes long drag of menthol cigarette** are motocross riders, bro.
Reasonable Friend: That's a highly questionable claim given the overwhelming number of Caucasian participants.
