Arenacross

Adrenalin-charged, incendiary, insane! Arenacross and Freestyle Motocross explodes into The O2 on 12 January 2013 as promoter Events 22 brings the 2013 Arenacross UK series to the nation’s capital for an all-action one-night-stand.

Arenacross is the crazy indoor off-spring of motocross racing first conceived in America in the 1970s. The sport takes the most spectacular elements of outdoor racing, boils them down into a concentrated cocktail and then shoehorns them into arenas onto purpose-built dirt tracks. Racing is short, sharp and shockingly spectacular with huge triple jumps, killer mogul sections and fast, banked corners all designed to provide a high-octane sensory feast.

With Freestyle Motocross the competition takes place 40 feet above the track with riders hitting purpose-built ramps and then attempting to out-do each other as they whip and back-flip 100kg motorcycles in a jaw-dropping display of aerial gymnastics. Once considered MX mavericks, freestylers are now highly-paid sporting stars who compete in year-round world tour events such as the X Games and Red Bull X-Fighters.

Starring the UK and Europe’s elite Freestyle Motocross riders and top professional and youth racers, it’s a night when dreams will be shattered, legends written and heroes made...
