...... There are two main types of freestyle events. Riders often compete in both of these types of events, though most prefer to focus on perfecting their performance in one or the other. The freestyle events are:
Big Air: Competitors each get two jumps from a dirt-covered ramp. These jumps typically cover more than 60 feet. Judges evaluate the stunts that are executed on the basis of style, difficulty, and originality. The highest score on a single jump wins the event.
Freestyle Motocross: Riders perform two routines, each of which lasts between 90 seconds and 14 minutes. The routines are done on a one- or two-acre course that consists of several jumps that are different in angle and length. The competitors can perform any tricks to show off their skills-anything goes. Judges score the riders on their ability to perform a variety of stunts and jumps.
The only way to truly appreciate FMX is to watch an event in person. Be in the audience and experience the adrenaline-filled performance for yourself.
