Freestyle motocross – level 1

08-07-2014 15:00

There is a competition in Madrid. Around 23,000 fans come to it. They want to see something special. The men in the competition must try very hard.

A man from New Zealand does a backflip. It is not enough. People want to see something better. A man from France flips his motorcycle in the air. People love it. The man from France wins.

Difficult words: competition (situation when you try to be better than other people), backflip (when you rotate your body in the air backwards), flip (rotate).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Do you have a motorcycle? :-)
