Motocross may not get the following that some other sports do, but there is no doubting how awesome and dazzling some of the death-defying tricks are in the sport.
In a YouTube video posted by Red Bull, some of the craziest tricks in the sport of Motocross are on full display as some awe-inspiring and breath-taking maneuvers are shown.
"Ever wonder what a Paris Hilton Flip looks like?" the video's description reads. "What about an Oxecutionar, or even a 9 O'Clock? And no, we're not just making those up...the top FMX riders in the world did. Take a look at this freestyle motocross tricktionary, where the best of the best give us a first hand look at these oddly named tricks and what they look like in action."
One such trick is the "Paris Hilton Flip" that sees the motorist do a mid-air backflip that leads to them removing themselves from the bike and sitting on the handle bars while upside down before completing the spin.
Other amazing backflips include the "Kiss of Death" backflip that sees the rider dangle from the handle bars in mid-air, and the "Rock Solid" backflip that sees the person throw the bike in front of them while airborne before grabbing the seat and back flipping back onto it.
Backflips aren't the only crazy moves on display here as there are many right-side up variations as well.
"The 9 O'clock" is a good one that sees the rider do a corkscrew in mid-air while holding onto the handlebars. Elsewhere, there is the "Lazy Boy" which literally sees the rider kick back and relax in the air while their feet hang on via the handle bars.
Another sure-fire thriller is the "One Handed Heart Attack" that sees the rider hang upside down on the bike with their feet up in the air and one hand hanging onto the seat.
"Rock Solid" sees the motocross expert literally let go of the bike in midair before hopping back on while "Rigor Mortis" once again sees the rider go upside down, this time with their feet dangling in their air while their hands hold them straight up from the handle bars with their head hanging just over the seat.
There are also some sick 360 variations, including the "360 Heelclicker," which sees the rider doing a mid-air 360, and clicking their heels together over the handle bars.
Elsewhere, there are body varials, one of which is called the "Volt." This sees the rider leave the bike, do a 360 spin and land safely in the seat.
One thing is for sure, these motocross experts are athletes and likely a little crazy. Click the video and enjoy the show.
