INTRODUCTION: INDIA’s FIRST STUDENT MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP: Motocross is a form of off-road motorcycle racing held on rugged muddy circuits. It first started in the France, presently making its craze all around the world. A group of motorcyclists will compete with their highly performing race bikes to run on off road track running over different kinds of tracks like rugged surfaces, small hills etc., and finally the riders are scored on style, level of track difficulty, best use of the course and frequently, crowd reactions. II. ABOUT US: We are a group of Mechanical Engineers with passion for automobiles and automotive racing. With the idea to encourage in-house designing and manufacturing of off-road motorbikes, This Organization has designed “Student Motocross Championship” for the budding engineers who can contribute to the future technology in developing better and sophisticated vehicles for the growing market. We also conduct workshops, seminars and trainings sessions for students to enhance their knowledge over automobiles. III.GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: 1.
