Arenacross
AX stands for Arenacross. Supercross is not the same as the even newer sport of "Arenacross," which consists essentially of Supercross-style courses that are downsized even further and placed into smaller venues such as ice hockey and basketball stadia. The popularity of Arenacross is growing however, since smaller cities that do not have a large football or baseball stadium can host Arenacross races. Arenacross held its first open in 2006 which achieved high attendance counts.
The AMA is using AMA Toyota Arenacross series as a way for riders to transition from amateur racing to supercross. Many supercross privateers race arenacross. Some of the top racers of arenacross include:
- Darcy Lange(Kaw)
- Tyler Bowers(Kaw)
- Brock Sellards(Hon)
- Kevin Johnson (Kaw)
- Josh Demuth (Yam)
- Michael Willard (KTM)
- Ryan Kozak (Suz)
