Freestyle Mx

Freestyle Motocross (also known as FMX) is a variation on the sport of motocross in which motorcycle riders attempt to impress judges with jumps and stunts.
 

The two main types of freestyle events are:

• Big Air (also known as Best Trick), in which each rider gets three jumps — usually covering more than 60 feet (18 m) — from a dirt-covered ramp. A panel of 10 judges evaluates the style, trick difficulty, and use of the course, and produces a score on a 100-point scale. Each rider's highest single-jump score is compared; top score wins.
• Freestyle Motocross, the older of the two disciplines. Riders perform two routines, lasting between 90 seconds and 14 minutes, on a course consisting of multiple jumps of varying lengths and angles that generally occupy
  one to two acres (.4 to .8 hectres). Like Big Air, a
  panel of judges assigns each contestant a score
  based on a 100-point scale, looking for difficult
  tricks and variations over jumps.
  
  
   

Notable Freestyle motocross events include
Red Bull X-Fighters, NIGHT of the JUMPs, the X-Games,
Gravity Games, Big-X, Moto-X Freestyle National
Championship, and Dew Action Sports Tour Freeriding is the
original freestyle motocross. It has no structure, and is
traditionally done on public land. Riders look for natural jumps
and drop-offs to execute their tricks on. Some freeriders prefer
to jump on sand dunes. In many ways, freeriding requires more
skill and mental ability. Notable freeriding locations include
Ocotillo Wells and Glamis Dunes in California,
Beaumont, Texas, and Cainville, Utah.
