If you do motocross: whats the difference between motocross and Supermoto?
In Supermoto you get much more speed than in MX and I like the feeling of sliding. MX requires much higher fitness level, but supermoto requires to handle much higher psychical level.

I recommend to try Supermoto for everyone who have a chance. Just to catch a feeling and advantages of this hybrid. Knowledge's will be very useful also for other Motorsport disciplines like motocross, road racing, flat track.
