Monster Energy Ama Supercross Tickets

If you want to get thrilled by jaw-dropping stunts performed by professional dirt bikers on extremely steep and risky dirt tracks then Monster Energy AMA Supercross might be just the thing for you. Starting in early 1970s, Supercross has come a long way in terms of its hype and viewership. After NASCAR (National Association for Stock Cars Auto Racing) racing, Supercross is the second most popular motorsport. Today baseball or football stadiums serve as venues for the professional Supercross races. The series are either managed by AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) or Monster Energy.

Supercross draws its inspiration from Motocross which is also a motorcycle racing sport that came into existence in 1900s. Both sports may look alike but they are different in some aspects. Motocross’s advertisement may have mellowed a bit over the passage of time but Supercross is still widely promoted as it gets fairly large media coverage. However, in Motocross high speed is one of the major factors while Supercross is more risky when it comes to its highly technical race tracks. So get your Monster Energy AMA Supercross tickets and witness some jolting stunts.

Each year three AMA Supercross champions emerge distinguishing three classes; Supercross Champion (250 cc class), Supercross Lites East Champion (125 cc) and Supercross Lites West Champion (125 cc). Earlier these championships were denoted by the size of the engines until 2006. Some of the AMA Supercross Champions are; David Bailey, Mark Barnett, Jeff Ward, Jeff Stanson, Jeremy McGrath, Bob Hannah, Johnny O’Mara, Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto being the 2012 champion. Whereas, Broc Tickle, James Stewart Jr., Jake Weimer, Ivan Tedesco, Kevin Windham, Shae Bentley, Damon Huffman, Donny Schmit, Bobby Moore, Willie Surrat, Ty Davis and Eli Tomac are among the Supercross Lites West Champions. Furthermore, some of the names representing the Supercross Lites East Champions are; Justin Barcia, Christophe Pourecel, Grant Langston, Travis Pastrana, Tim Ferry, Chad Reed, Dough Henry, Keith Turpin and Brian Swints. Thus Jimmy Weinert is the only 500 cc championship winner who won in 1974. So all the motorcycle racing buffs should check out the Monster Energy AMA Supercross as the event will unveil this year’s champion.

The competition begins in December and lasts till May. The Supercross Class has seventeen rounds while the Supercross Lites East and Supercross Lites West Classes account for eight rounds each. Supercross has eight laps while the other two classes consist of six laps. The final battle takes place between East-West Classes in the month of May. Eventually, it comes down to the top nine riders who compete at the Main Event. Since Supercross events demand large venues it is difficult for places with small arenas to accommodate the sport. That is when the Arenacross steps in.

The Arenacross is comparatively new on the horizon as it emerged in 2006. Its courses are no different as they represent the smaller versions of Supercross courses. Its emergence has indeed been appreciated as its popularity is growing by the day.
