Establish Supercross as an Official Sport in the Olympics


Establish Supercross as an Official Sport in the Olympics
The Issue
From a young age, I have been passionate about dirt bikes. My first ride marked the start of my unquenchable love for Supercross! Now, as an adult, my fervour has not diminished but has evolved into a dream - a dream to watch the best racers from all around the world face off in a display of skill and resilience. It's this personal ambition that nudges me into appealing for a global recognition of Supercross - as an official sport in the Olympics.
For those unfamiliar, Supercross is not just about riders balancing on two wheels. It's a showcase of adrenaline-fueled bravery, acute split-second decision making, and incredible physical and mental endurance. These attributes align seamlessly with the Olympic values of 'Excellence', 'Friendship', and 'Respect'.
Moreover, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council, over 1.5 million dirt bikes are in use across the U.S - a testament to the sport's popularity. Globally, its spectatorship only surges, with AMA Supercross Championship events attracting audiences as large as 40,000, as reported by Forbes.
By including Supercross in the Olympics, we would not only bolster the spirit of international camaraderie but also help globalize a sport that millions of dedicated fans and athletes love and follow.
Please sign our petition and ride with us on the journey to see Supercross on the world's biggest multi-sport arena - the Olympics! Your support can make our dream a reality.
