Awesome Motocross

Motocross freeriders Robbie Maddison and Tyler Bereman avoid Los Angeles traffic by hopping onto their dirt bikes, and heading off of the freeway, popping wheelies through the city, and pulling impressive stunts through its iconic viaducts. The apex being an epic 46-foot jump into the L.A. River from the 1st Street Bridge.

Monster Energy motocross rider Eli Tomac shows off his skills on his very own dirt track tearing through the soil on his green 2005 Factory KX 250 two-stroke. We love how director Ash Hodges focuses entirely on the rider and the sound of his bike in this clean edit.

Spring is coming, and we want to get dirty, but the ground is still frozen. Until that changes, let’s enjoy the terrain and the supremely clean sound edits in Ricki Bedenbaugh’s latest vid that features the formidable international motocross phenom Hunter Lawrence.

Nitro Circus and Red Bull rider Josh Sheehan made history by pulling off the world’s first triple backflip on a motorcycle. The air he got was insane, but his measured landing is even more impressive (and important).

Remember the old Nintendo game Excitebike? Red Bull/KTM Factory motocross riders Ryan Dungey and Marvin Musquin do their best to recreate the game IRL as they run side-by-side down a straight 1/2 mile course with no turns.

No, don’t try this at home, but it’s cool to hear Red Bull World Champ freestyle motocross biker Levi Sherwood describe how to do his Shaolin Backflip trick, and see it in slo-mo.

DC Shoes sent freestyle motocross expert Robbie Maddison to the military airplane graveyard in Tuscon, Arizona, where he used aircraft parts, shipping containers and a flatbed semi for jumps.

Trial freestylers Julien Dupont and Arthur Coutard ride around the French alps in this video by Fabien Didelot. The beautiful scenery is as eye-catching as the skills and stunts of the riders.

For some reason, the combination in Peter Miller’s Canon Rebel T2i video of spirited motocross skills, the evocative music of Sigur Rós and the season’s luminous light has us really mesmerized right now.
