What is FMX

Freestyle Motocross (FMX)

FMX, or Freestyle Motocross, is one of the most electrifying and high-flying disciplines featured in Arenacross. It’s a showcase of skill, bravery, and creativity, where riders defy gravity with massive jumps and breathtaking stunts, blending precision with fearless innovation.

Originating in the mid-1990s, FMX began when motocross riders started incorporating tricks into their practice jumps. Over the years, it has evolved into a worldwide sensation, with athletes continually pushing the limits through increasingly daring and complex maneuvers.

What do they do?

Hitting purpose-built ramps and taking off 40ft into the air (above your heads!), jumping a 100ft gap, these riders will throw their 100kg bikes around as though they’re light as a feather. Going upside down, doing flips, letting go of the bikes completely in the air and landing with no hands, these riders will attempt to out-do each other by performing tricks, flips and whips, all for your entertainment! And by the way, the more noise you make for them, the bigger they’ll go!

Unleash the Ultimate Thrill!

Alongside them laying down the best tricks and whips in competition, we’ll also be holding a frenzied freestyle free-for-all, in which all of our riders will really go to town and let it all hang out to keep you on the edge of your seats! And listen out for a cry of “TRAIN” before they all hit the ramp in insanely close succession for a mind-blowing session of big-air madness!
