I Had No Idea

As if Motocross wasn't the original extreme sport, someone has to go one better. I have been an avid fan of motocross and supercross for years, but I had no idea that they actuially raced sidecars like this as well.

yeh ive seen that before ..its just nuts isnt it..fair enough on tarmac because you dont take flight ..but on dirt as you can see in the pic ...just crazy stuff.

P.S does the passenger get a parachute ???

It's very popular here in Holland,The current worldchampions are Dutch! :D:D

Yup they even used to run them in the ultimate enduro the Paris-Dakar,any one need a bloke for the chair i'd be keen to try!

Although sidecar cross is mainly a European afair, it's getting more popular in the USA, Richard Myers being one of the best promotors over there.
I posted some sidecar cross links in the Cool Sites forum.
