I. INTRODUCTION:

INDIAs FIRST STUDENT MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP:

Motocross is a form of off-road motorcycle racing held on rugged muddy circuits. It first

started in the France, presently making its craze all around the world. A group of

motorcyclists will compete with their highly performing race bikes to run on off road track

running over different kinds of tracks like rugged surfaces, small hills etc., and finally the

riders are scored on style, level of track difficulty, best use of the course and frequently,

crowd reactions.
