| Description |
The History of Motocross Where it all began Conflicting information suggests motocross began both in France and in Great Britain, so it might depend on who is asked. The first off-road event was a 50-mile race called Scrambles held March 29, 1924 in the town of Surrey in England. A total of 80 men raced on motorcycles that weren’t much more than bicycles with a small attached engine, designed for road transportation. The dirt course went through fields and forests in a kind of “anything goes” race, which does have some resemblance to what is universally known now as motocross racing. Half of the field finished, with the winner coming in at just over 2 hours. When racing through acres of wooded areas, there were no spectators, so the sport evolved to closed-course races that could be watched by fans. |
