Davey Coombs (Author), Editors of RacerX Illustrated (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2003

Motocross - which involves competitors navigating their exotic motorcycles over tortuous terrain, including double- and triple-jumps, whoops, tabletops, hills, rocks, mud, dust and anything that Mother Nature can throw at them - is massively popular. In the USA alone, more than 1.2 million fans attended the AMA Supercross and National Motocross Championship Series in 2002. This volume provides a photo-driven essay that documents this explosive sport, its major personalities and the subculture that surrounds the pro circuit.

5.0 out of 5 stars MX - Getting better with age, May 4, 2003

This review is from: MX: The Way of the Motocrosser (Hardcover)

If you liked "American Motocross Illustrated" then you've got to have this book. The explosive growth of MX/SX/AX and Freestyle over the past ten+ years have provided Davey Coombs with the perfect platform to launch a book like this. As Racer X grows and matures with the sport, hopefully there will be a racing annual for MX like there is for NASCAR, F!, ETC.
