Motocross Martial Arts (MXMA) In New XXX Movie
Vin Deisel is no stranger to featuring over-the-top motorcycle stunts in his movies, and the new xXx: Return of Xander Cage is no different. In fact, the xXx reboot introduces a whole new genre of moto action that combines stunting with MMA fighting, Vin Deisel is calling it MXMA or Motocross Martial Arts. The movie also depicts some motorcycle water skiing footage you may remember seeing in Robbie Maddison’s “Pipe Dream” video from 2015. The movie is hitting the theaters today, but you can enjoy some of the motorcycle highlights from the film trailer below.
A former Motorcycle.com staffer who has gone on to greener pastures, Tom Roderick still can't get the motorcycle bug out of his system. And honestly, we still miss having him around. Tom is now a regular freelance writer and tester for Motorcycle.com when his schedule allows, and his experience, riding ability, writing talent, and quick wit are still a joy to have – even if we don't get to experience it as much as we used to.

It'll be awful.
No, worse still. 38% on Rotten Tomatoes is all you need to know.
"the xXx reboot introduces a whole new genre of moto action that combines stunting with MMA fighting, Vin Deisel is calling it MXMA or Motocross Martial Arts."
Sorry, this has already been done, and in one of Rob Cohen's other movies too! Torque, a motorcycle-based parody of the whole car-movie genre(everyone forgets it was ridiculous and unrealistic ON PURPOSE!), features a fight between Monet Mazur and Jamie Alexander's characters, on motorcycles, while doing laps of an under-bridge parking lot. https://youtu.be/vBCeFJ66oRM It's a funny movie, but it will give you a stroke if you expect anything, you know, logical or coherent.
