Freestyle Motocross (FMX) is one of the newest motor sport in the motocross category.  The international freestyle Motocross Association (IFMA) holds a tour, which goes to a different city almost every weekend.

Each show has between 2 and 5 judges to judge each run.  Each run performed by a rider is scored from a range of 0-100, with 100 being the best run.

Each event has a "purse" worth so much.  A regular event is worth around $30,000 if you win.  The Vans Triple Crown events are around $175,000 and $25,000 for the series points fund.  The Vans Triple Crown events consist of a three event series with the largest purse of all the events.

A regular event:

~For the first heat-  You have 15 riders - they all get 1 heat - which is 1 minute each - the top 5 go to the final - 6 through 15 go to the semi heat

~Semi heat-  starts with 10 riders - you have 1 semi heat - 1 minute each - top 3 go to the final - 4 through 10 go home

~Final heat/Main event-  The last 8 riders step up - you have 1 final - 2 minute runs each - Winner takes all and gets to sit in the hotseat for the night.
