"There's nothing like the smell of two stroke oil in the morning," a line overheard in San Francisco last June, pretty much sums up the mind set around this sport. This is a sport that embodies what the X Games are at it's purest: huge airtime and loads of adrenaline. It's also a sport that is still in its infancy, progressing constantly and the unpredictability adds to the excitement exponentially.

Step Up:
Location: First Union Complex- Indoors

From a stationary position between 15 and 20 feet away, the rider takes his bike up a 15 foot plus vertical dirt face and leaps into the air, attempting to clear a horizontal bar placed between two uprights at the top of the jump. Be on the look out for some high flyin' action when Moto's best show how high they can go.

Big Air
Location: First Union Complex- Indoors

This event is Moto at it's purest; a one hit competition under the lights and the winner takes all. Taking a cue from the snowboarding competition, Big Air is a single jump off a single hit challenging riders to put all of their energy into pulling off their most impressive jump. Plenty of riders have landed the backflip outside of competition, so you can expect to see it thrown out here. This is an event not to be missed.
