Speedcross
4 Questions

Speedcross is a hybrid of speedway and motocross. From speedway comes the 4 rider, 4 lap format, the oval track ( Taupo have created their own specially designated oval) and the sliding scale of scoring (3 -2-1-0).
From motocross come the berms, the jumps and the MX bikes – but, unlike speedway, still with their gears and brakes.
The play ride session at the Taupo track on Saturday will start with a demo by some of NZ’s best riders, Rhys Carter included, and then MX1 and MX2 riders racing at the Taupo Extravaganza are welcome to have a play. It will be open for one hour.
