Off road motercycles Off-roading is one of the popular pasttimes of rural American culture. Whether it's karts, buggies or bikes, Americans love to get out doors on their off road vehicles, crank the throttle and feel the rush of adrenaline. On and off road motorcyclesOf all the off road vehicles available, off road motorcycles are probably the most popular. Not as powerful or stable as street bikes, off road motorcycles offer greater agility and a lighter weight, which lends them to tricks and the type of adventure-riding that adrenaline junkies live for. You can barrel down muddy, wooded paths, or race your friends through fields. You can set up obstacle courses, or just go for a leisurely ride at a leisurely pace. Whatever you choose, you're engaging in a uniquely American pasttime, one that is becoming more and more popular as the years and decades go by. Motorcycle Helmets, Discount Parts and Gear Motorcycle Accessories Off road motorcycles are also used in a sport called Motorcross, which has gained popularity over the past fifteen years thanks to "extreme" events like the X-Games and the like. In the X-Games, riders will attempt some spectacular tricks in front of usually sold-out, appreciative crowds. There are races, of course, but there is also the "freestyle" event in which a rider will race up a mound of dirt as much as fifty feet high, gun the throttle, and catch some amazing air. While soaring above the ground like some mechanical skylark, they then procede to do tricks to boggle the mind - full 360 degree tumbles, splits, side-swipes and the like. It's something most of us would never consider - I mean, how do you practice jumping 50 feet or more in the air? What if something goes wrong? Do these guys have life insurance?

Some of the best known Motorcross riders are Travis Pastrana, Mike Metzger and Brian Deegan. And like all good off road motorcycles enthusiasts, they all display a disdain for life-and-limb that would shock even the most ardent thrill seekers. Pastrana, in particular, has cracked the collective consciousness for his skill and daring. He's also crossed over into the mainstream by appearing in several episodes of Jackass, as well as the new MTV series Nitro Circus. Though he's not been as successful in competition recently as he was at the start of the decade, he's more than made up for his lack of trophies with his collection of public appearances and entry into the world of niche celebrity.
