    Why do they turn the dirtbikes sideways when they jump?

    its called scrubbing. the bike isnt accelerating if its not on the ground. since jumping is an inherent part of MX, the idea is to dramatically reduce the amount of time spent in the air (IE: NOT accelerating), so go for distance and not height. the only reason for jumping is to get over obstacles, and shorten the distance traveled.

    Yup..
    It's so you can approach faster than you would need to and not over shoot it

    It's been proven over and over and over again that quads have faster lap times



    As a rider of both, I think it's more impressive skill wise to see a rider toss around a 400+lb quad than a 200+lb dirtbike
