About Supercross Racing
Supercross is a cycle racing sport involving racing specialized high performance off-road motorcycles on an artificially made dirt tracks consisting of steep jumps and obstacles. Professional Supercross contest races are held almost exclusively within professional baseball and football stadiums.
Supercross is not the same as the even newer sport of "Arenacross," which consists essentially of Supercross style courses that are downsized even further and placed into smaller venues such as ice hockey and basketball stadiums. The popularity of Arenacross is growing however, since smaller cities that do not have large football and baseball stadiums can host Arenacross races. Arenacross held it first open in 2006 which got high attendance. There are currently two arenacross series, AMA Toyota Arenacross and Bookoo Arenacross. The AMA is trying to use the AMA Toyota series as a way for riders to transition from amature racing to supercross. Many supercross privateers race arenacross. Some of the top racers of arenacross include.
