Britian use of the dirt bike

Dirt biking is said to be created on the Europe country side. The first starting was said to be in France where people would race individually through the trees and on top of the mountain tops. The word motocross came from the two words motorcycle and cross country. In 1924, the first off road race in Britain was held, this event was called a Scramble and this would be the first known off road dirt bike race. Over the years people throughout the country would shorten the track and add a few more laps to the race to make off-road racing evolve into the motocross that we know now. They shortened these tracks so the spectators could watch the race easier and it would be easier to manage the race for the hosts. The start of the sport of motocross started at the time of the world war one and the great depression so the sport slowed down at this time but it didn't stop the citizens from starting the sport. Honda introduced the new bike that would give families easier ways of transportation. Now Germany has one of the biggest enduro races in the world. The European countries are more into the enduro racing instead of the motocross track racing.
