Supercross, abbreviated as SX, is a racing competition between specialized high performance off-road motorcycles which are held at artificially made dirt tracks consisting of steep jumps and obstacles. Putting it simply, supercross is an indoor version of the motocross. SX races are usually contested in stadiums and arenas (open or close) with numerous jumps which makes the competition more exciting. The term Supercross actually was the name of the event for the first organized Motocross race conducted inside a stadium in the United States. After the initial "Super Bowl of Motocross" competition, which drew the best motocross drivers during that era, was a success, the term "Supercross" has been carried out to identify the similar to Motocross stadium cycling events. At the moment, several supercross races are being conducted by various motorcycle organizations, including the oldest motorcycle racing org, the American Motorcyclist Association.

The SX masters start off with the outdoor preliminary rounds and then on to the indoor majors.
