What started as a fun side race for riders in the 1970's turned into a popular form of racing. The Supermoto utilizes bikes that have been given unique tires with grooves that allow it to drive easily over dirt and pavement courses. It still has several obstacles - but the courses are frequently a mixture of dirt and pavement.
