fmx

abbreviation for freestyle motocross, extreme sport, consists in getting big air with a motocross bike and pulling various tricks while airborne
as seen in x-games or gravity games
fmx or freestyle motocross is a fast growing sport and is pushing the envelope on insanity. it consists on modified (usually two stroke dirt bikes)bikes that have been talored to perform air born tricks. the front and rear fenders are cut shorter so that nothing on the rider gets caught on the bike. the air box covers are cut out larger for a grab hole, for when the rider needs to grab under the seat to do a superman seat grab and other tricks that require a grab hole. the handle bars are replaced with a low setting bar that has no second bar for support. this bar offers more room for throughing the feet out over or through the bar for tricks like the bar hop. fmx riders usually hit wood or meatl ramps called kicker ramps. they are described by their height. 6′ kicker or an 8′ kicker. the landings are usually dirt but can be a metal landing ramp/trailer. the kicker ramps are good from about 30-70ft gaps. the riders compete in a timed session, they through out the sickest tricks with consistance and skill to impress the judges for the highest score. the sport came from a side show entertainment for motocross riders to make a little extra cash, to a highly compet-tive, extreme sport. fmx has come a long way from simple no footers, no handers to double backflips, 360 backflip, and with all kind of trick variations while flipping. keep in mind this is on a 250lb motorcycle.
man, what the h-ll was that…..that’s insane!

freestyle motocross is the most awesomest sport in the world!!! jeremy stenberg and colin morrison are the most hottest fmx riders ever.
dude 1: fmx rox!!!
dude 2: yea rock on, i can get major air!!
type of motorcycle riding, consisting of doing huge jumps. originaly performed by guys who gave up on the supercross circuit, because they weren’t fast enough to make money at it. doing these jumps requires huge b-lls, and far less skill than being a compet-tive racer. while performing these jumps riders will do little tricks with thier bodies to impress the audience, who is usually made up of bandana-wearing wall-mart customers. compet-tions are held with explosions, and fire to keep the attention of the simple minded audience…much like wrestling, but it is real. 909er’s love this sport almost as much as meth!
“dude, will your truck have that sick lift on it by next week, so we can take it to the fmx show? i hope deegan still has spikes on his chest protector…i’m gunna wear all of my black clothes!”
