As the sport grew, the Japanese motorbike brands Suzuki and Kawasaki topped the most famous makers of dirt bikes. Indoor motocross also started in 1974 and had the first women’s championship in MX in 1995.

Many personalities started their athletic careers in this sport. Ricky Carmichael, Jessica Patterson, and Jeremy McGrath are to name a few.
