Motocross Track Race Coloring Page

Print this motocross race coloring page in seconds and get two riders instead of one. This Motocross Track Race Coloring Page has number twenty five out in front and number eight chasing over the rise behind, dust rolling off both rear wheels, a checkered flag planted at the left and a marker pennant at the right. It is the only sheet in the set with two machines racing each other rather than one on its own.

How this coloring page was created

For this page we entered the concept: "Two motocross bikes racing over a bumpy track, one behind the other up the page with flags along the edge" on Colorin AI and generated a print ready coloring page in seconds. The race numbers on the plates were the generator's own addition.

"One behind the other up the page" is the phrase that made it a race. Two bikes asked for side by side come out level, and level bikes are just two bikes. Stacking one higher up the sheet than the other creates a gap, and a gap between two racers is what a lead looks like when it has to be drawn instead of timed.

What makes this motocross race coloring page unique

The two bikes are drawn at slightly different sizes, the near one larger and the far one smaller, and that single difference does all the work of showing distance without any change in line weight.

It also makes the page fairer to color. A child can start on the near bike, which is bigger and easier, and by the time they reach the far one they have already practiced every shape on it once. The second bike takes half the time the first one did, which is a pleasant way for a sheet to end.

Counting what is there: two riders, each in a peaked helmet with goggles, with arms and legs banded into about five segments apiece and both boots on the pegs. Four wheels in total, each with a knobby tread of roughly twenty two blocks over about sixteen spokes. Number twenty five is on the near plate and number eight on the far one. Two dust clouds, each built from six or seven stacked round puffs. The checkered flag is a grid of twelve squares on a pole, the pennant at the right is a single notched triangle, and around ten small pebbles are scattered over the rolling track.

Coloring Ideas and Techniques

Give the two riders opposing colors, one warm and one cool, and it will be obvious at a glance who is who. Racing pages fall flat when both riders end up in the same greens and blues, because the eye stops being able to follow the chase.

The checkered flag has to follow its grid. Fill every other square and leave the rest white, working along one row at a time, and it stays a checkered flag. Filling it freehand turns twelve squares into one dark patch and loses the only piece of the page that says this is a race and not a trail ride.
