KTM Junior Supercross Challenge The KTM Junior Supercross Challenge is an invitational Sportminicycle event created by KTM in the mid-90’s as a high-quality intermission exhibition held at Supercross stadium events. Riders compete aboard identically prepared KTM 50 SXS Sportminicycles in a three-lap feature race. In its sixteenth year existence it has showcased the talents of over 2,900 boys and girls in stadium racing venues worldwide to race on the very same tracks as their Supercross racing heroes. And while the KJSC highlights these talented minicycle riders from around the country, it also promotes motorcycling as a family activity – exciting and accessible – especially for kids! From the first practice lap to the final race, the KJSC offers a safe, supportive and entertaining environment for all riders, parents and fans. The KJSC is a fantastic opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in the excitement of Supercross from a very unique perspective, and to enjoy the sport as a fun and rewarding experience.
