Summary: Motocross started in England in 1924 and was first called "Scrambles" . The sports popularity began to grow during the 1930s. Motocross's distinction from other motor sports is it begins with a mass start, where all the riders group together alongside each other at the starting gate, taking off at the same time and racing the entire track distance. The rider who crosses the finish line first is the winner of the race. The size of each race varies and points are added up to determine the winner.
