Freestyle Motocross is an individual sport where participants perform acrobatic stunts while riding over ramps on motocross bikes. Scores are based on style, level of trick difficulty and best use of the course.

Freestyle motocross is a competition to see who can perform the craziest trick while riding a motorcycle. Competitors perform two routines on a course filled with hills and berms. Common tricks involve rotations and flips. Judges issue scores based on creativity and level of difficulty. The competitor with the highest score at the end of competition is the winner.

Receive stellar judge-issued scores by performing tricks on a motorcycle.

Riders perform two routines, lasting between 90 seconds and 14 minutes. Courses generally occupy one or two acres, and consist of multiple jumps of varying lengths and angles. After a competitor has finished a routine, a panel of judges assigns a score based on a 100-point scale. Judges always tend to favor difficult tricks and variations over jumps. The competitor with the highest score at the end of competition is the winner.

Motocross began in England in the 1920's, with the off-road racing of motorcycles. By the 1950's the sport had grown popular in Europe, leading to the establishment of championship circuits and a governing body (International Motorcycling Federation). In the early 1990's, with motorcycles becoming lighter and faster, motocross racers began entertaining crowds by performing tricks and stunts while racing. By the beginning of the 21st century freestyle motocross had emerged as a new sport, independent of other forms of motocross. Today, it is one of the most popular sports in the motocross universe.
