Here's a page on Your Adrenaline Fix written as an introductory to the history of motocross, as presented by the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. This page is designed to give the readers of this site an easy way of finding and accessing the excellent information regarding the history of using motorcycles in off-road competition, so as to show people how the sport of motocross has evolved. Afterall, you didn't think that motocross bikes always had an over-abundance of arm straightening power and 11+ inches of suspension travel did you?

The "Motocross America" online exhibit below is an excellent and entertaining presentation that begins with the earliest people and riders that developed the sport of motocross as we know it, people from Gunnar Lindstrom or Edison Dye, all the way to the more modern day riders which are that of Doug Henry or Jeff Ward, as well as even showcasing some of the bikes that shaped the history of mx including their specifications.

Once you get done there... The online exhibit carries you through to the history of motocross covering the years in the United States and abroad from the very earliest dates beginning in the early 1920's until about 2004 which is when this article appears to have been last edited.

Then If that's not enough for you, finally the Motorcycle Hall of Fame concludes their presentation with an online "Virtual Tour" display of the 8,000 square-foot exhibit located in Pickerington Ohio at the AMA Headquarters and is a wonderful attraction that one should make a trip to see in person.
