Jump Section

Track Terminology

A Jump Section is a specially designed part of a race track that features one or more raised mounds or ramps that cause vehicles to become airborne during competition.

Common in off-road motorsports like Motocross, Supercross, and Rallycross, jump sections add challenge and spectacle to races. These sections test drivers' skills and vehicle control while creating exciting moments for spectators. Jump sections can vary widely in design, including single jumps, doubles, table tops, and more complex arrangements like rhythm sections.

Successful navigation of jump sections requires proper approach speed, body positioning, and suspension setup. Skilled competitors can gain significant advantages by optimizing their technique through these challenging track features.
