 FMX Motocross riders put observers on the edge of their seats with
their performance of aerial stunts. Riders launched their
motorcycles over 70 feet through the air doing mid-air maneuvers and
back flips.
FMX Motocross riders perform acrobatic stunts while jumping
Motocross bikes, and a winner is chosen by a group of judges. Riders
are scored on style, level of trick difficulty, best use of the
course, and crowd reactions.
In the three part competition, riders progressed through a series of
jumps and maneuvers the announcer described as "anything goes" with
the "biggest and baddest jumps" that got "bigger, better, and
crazier."

The crowds were encouraged to "make some noise" because, as one
rider said, "we like to get crazy." Another rider who had a bit of
trouble with his bike said, "It can get terrifying."
As the riders performed increasingly difficult jumps, the crowd went
wild, cheering the riders on by yelling and clapping.
The winner of the competition received nearly perfect scores for his
death defying jumps.
For the crowds, it was a night of eye-popping entertainment from the
gravity defying riders.
