Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A motocross track consists of several jumps and obstacles. The mogul-like section of the track consisting of 10 or more tiny jumps in a row is call the what?

Answer: Whoops

Beginning riders take each mogul within a whoops section, but more advanced riders can just "skip" over them, touching just the tops with their wheels. A rhythm section is similar to the whoops, but consists of several bigger jumps in a row.
2. During riding, dirt or debris thrown in the air from the force of a spinning rear tire is called what?

Answer: Roost

That's why you don't want to stand too close to the track when those pros ride by.
3. "Arm Pump" while riding is often caused by what?

Answer: Riders gripping the handle bars too tightly

Arm pump is that forearm fatigue a rider gets after riding an extended period of time. Of course, good nutrition is recommended as motocross is a very physical sport.
4. Motocross races start when the riders line up at the starting gate and all gates drop at once. The racer that earns the "hole shot" was the first to do what?

Answer: Reach the first corner

Often races will give a special award to the hole shot winner even if they didn't win the full moto.
5. Motocross racers are known for wearing bright colors and designs. What brand of motorcycle is known by its bright green color?

Answer: Kawasaki

Suzuki's are yellow. KTM's are orange. Honda's are red.
6. Which national rider, once known as the King of Supercross, is credited with inventing the trick called the "nac-nac"?

Answer: Jeremy McGrath

On January 15, 1994, Jeremy McGrath was racing his 250cc Honda in Orlando, FL. On the last jump, while in midair, he swung his right leg over the rear fender and past the bike's left footpeg. It was so popular with the fans, other riders started doing similar tricks, leading to the new sport of Freestyle Motocross.
7. Which early national motocross rider had the nickname "Hurricane"?

Answer: Bob Hannah

In the late 1970s, Bob "Hurricane" Hannah won three AMA Motocross and three AMA Supercross championships. He won 70 AMA National races during his career. The AMA is the American Motorcycle Association and the governing body of the American championships.
8. Of the following list of riders, which was the first to win a National Championship?

Answer: Jeff Ward

In 1984, Jeff won the AMA 125cc championship. He went on to win twice in 250cc, twice in 500cc, and twice in Supercross. Mike LaRocco first won an American championship in 1993. Chad Reed first won the Australian championship in 1999. Jeremy McGrath was most successful in AMA Supercross, winning an unprecedented 7 championships in 8 seasons.
9. Which outdoor motocross class was discontinued in the 1990s?

Answer: 500cc

In the early years of motocross, the 500cc class was considered the premier division. However, more riders preferred 250cc bikes as they were easier to handle. Over time, technology advanced and the 250cc's became faster and more powerful and eventually became the premier bike. In the 2000s, the 250cc and 125cc classes were discontinued and are renamed MX and MX Lite.
10. The tire pattern on motocross bikes is affectionately known as what?

Answer: Knobbies

Knobbies are molded tire patterns that look like rubber notches. All those knobbies on the wheels help to grip the mud and dirt.
