A Brief History

Arenacross is a bit of a scaled down version of Supercross, a sport that has become one of the most watched motorcycle competitions in the country. Supercross itself branched out from Motocross but has gone on to create its own identity. It is more technical in nature and involves more skill and tricks compared to Motocross. Supercross events are held in big arenas where man made tracks, full of different obstacles, are used to test every aspect of a motorcyclist’s skill to the maximum level possible.

Supercross really upped the ante in terms of catching attention of the masses in the beginning of 2000’s. Since then more and more people have turned up to catch the events live at arenas around the country while million others have watched them from home. Supercross competitions are now covered by major sports broadcasters which has played a big part in increasing its profile.

American Motorcyclists Association

A lot of success that motorcycle sports enjoy today is down to the efforts made by the AMA. Incepted way back in the year 1924 to look after motorcycling, it has done more than that. The AMA has made sure that the sport is in safe hands and have made major changes to the format over the years as well to ensure that it doesn’t get stagnant. AMA now has chartered clubs that total up to more than a whopping twelve hundred.

The success of Supercross has paved the way for Arenacross to step into the limelight. The Amsoil Arenacross provides the platform to young riders to showcase their talents. It acts as a feeder to Supercross and the winner of the “Race to the Championship” at the end is declared the best in the business. The Amsoil Arenacross is held on smaller tracks than those used in Supercross and the arenas are smaller as well.
