For 12 weeks, the world’s best riders engage in battle on the track for over 60 minutes across two grueling motos each Saturday afternoon, but before and after the pros take to the track, amateurs and enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels will have their chance to be a part of the outdoor nationals. Whether it’s racing bar-to-bar, or just enjoying a Sunday ride on the track, motocross lovers from all over the country can be a part of American Motocross through the Amateur Day Program and, in some cases, will even have the chance to compete on the same hallowed ground as the stars of the sport.

“Amateur Days were some of my greatest memories with my family,” said defending Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross 450 Class Champion Ryan Dungey. “There was nothing like racing the week of a national and then watching all the riders I looked up to compete on the same track. It brought an end to a perfect week and the best part about it was that I was able to enjoy it with my mom, my dad and my brothers.”

“The family atmosphere and the bond amongst loved ones is an underlying foundational element of the Amateur Day Program,” said MX Sports Vice President Davey Coombs. “On any given weekend, hundreds of campgrounds will be set up as families come to the track together and more often that not, compete together simply out of love for the sport.”

The 2011 Amateur Day schedule kicks off on Thursday, May 19, during the opening weekend of the season at the Rockstar Energy Hangtown Motocross Classic in Rancho Cordova, Calif. From there, 11 additional weekends will give amateurs from all over the country a one-of-a-kind chance to ride, which only takes place once a year, before coming to a conclusion the weekend of September 10 from Pala, Calif.

The crash of the day of course goes to a Rockstar employee trying to push the limit of the little TTR 110, just a slight front flip over the bike superman style…and unfortunately no one caught it on camera! Luckily no injuries beyond some minor scrapes and bruises were incurred by anyone. These were some tough ladies who learned to rip! We would like to give a big shout out to DC and Rockstar’s Jolene Van Vugt for putting together an awesome day at Pala!
