Arenacross is a high-octane mix of indoor Motocross racing and Freestyle Motocross, carefully choreographed into a three-hour live performance that includes lasers, pyrotechnics and unscripted racing all performed to a heart-pumping soundtrack. It may sound crazy … guess what? It is! But more than anything, it’s a brilliant family night out that’s suitable for all ages.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO SEE AT ARENACROSS?
You’ll see twenty of the most insanely fast professional Motocross racers in the world compete in a number of races that qualify to a twelve-rider Main Event (the final race of the night) where they score points towards their eight-round Arenacross Championship that takes place across the UK’s leading Arena venues. There’s huge prize money up for grabs and they’ll lay anything on the line to win – get ready for race action at its most insane!
WHAT’S FREESTYLE MOTOCROSS
Freestyle MX is the most dangerously spectacular art form of Motocross that takes place on a huge take-off and landing ramp that sits in the centre of the Arena. Don’t be surprised to see rider’s 60ft in the air, upside-down and holding on with just one hand! There are three Freestyle MX shows throughout the night, so expect to see plenty of action and be prepared to stand up and scream!
WHAT ELSE GOES ON?
As soon as the doors open, the show is on, with vendors and games and rider signings in the foyer. Once seated, a t-shirt cannon and Mexican Wave gets the audience engaged and ready for the introduction of the riders. Then it’s non-stop action with fearless youth riders, some as young as seven-years, semi-pro and pro racers ready to battle to the finish line. Throw in some tense head-to-head eliminators and you’ll be hollering for more! You can even buy an upgrade to arrive early, meet the stars of the show, walk the race track and see a private Freestyle Motocross show (limited availability).
HOW CAN YOU BUILD MOTOCROSS INDOORS?
It’s not easy, but we’re the worlds’ best at it! With over 2,500 tons of dirt being moved into each Arena in a 24hr period during the days before the event, our team of dirt-sculpting experts create the ultimate racetrack playground that tests the skill of any world-class Motocross racer.
WHAT’S THE EVENT SCHEDULE?
The doors to each Arena open at 5.30pm and the opening show starts at 6.30pm, and that’s an opening performance not to be missed! From then ‘switch-on’ its sensory feast of non-stop races, jump action and choreographed action-sports performances like no other. By 8.30pm all the riders have qualified to the Main Event with the final start gate dropping at 9.15pm – by 9.30pm the winner is crowned, champagne is spraying and the event draws to a spectacular crescendo of pyrotechnics, fire, and music – you’ll just be wondering where can I see Arenacross next!
