What is Moto X?
Moto X is a freestyle version of motocross. It has been part of
the X Games since 1999 and the sport made its debut at the Winter X Games
in 2000. The Moto X competition at X Games XIII in Philadelphia was
revolutionary for the sport because two riders successfully landed
a backflip. Moto X riders continue to push the envelope of their
sport and electrify spectators with their daredevil feats.
Moto X at the 2005 Winter X Games
Winter X Games Nine will feature Moto X Best Trick, a discipline
that allows athletes to go big with one trick and awe the audience
and the judges. In the preliminaries, each of 12 athletes will chose
to jump a 90-foot gap, a 75 foot gap, or a 45 foot gap. They will take
two jumps and be judged on style, creativity, and trick performance.
the highest score of the two jumps will stand as the athlete's final
score. The top six riders qualify for the finals. In the final, each
rider takes another two jumps. The top jump wins gold. The on-snow
event is the only competition of its kind of freestyle motocross.
