There has never been a lot of research on american motocross and its history. The sport has been around for a while now and is finally gaining a name for itself. The sport started naturally with a group of just average people riding their motorcycles on a course they designed with maybe a few man made jumps.
Motocross really took a step in the direction it is in today when Edison Dye came into the motocross picture. He ran motorcycle touring business in Europe and his travels across the pond exposed him to a new style.
Motocross came to America in the 1970’s in the form of hair scrambles. Simple off road races. The sport grew and eventually came to the LA Coliseum. Which was when supercross was invented, a form of motocross on man made courses.
