New Berlin, NY - ATV MX racing heads North to Unadilla for Round #11 of the ATVA GNC MX Series. The Unadilla MX track has been a long time favorite Outdoor Motorcycle National Track, but this is a first time that ATVs have been allowed on the National Track at Unadilla, and the exciting news of this historic event spread quickly with an impressive 751 riders signing up to race this beautiful weekend in New York.

The weather this weekend has been awesome with partly cloudy skies and temps in the 80’s, and the same is forecasted for today’s main event. The natural terrain mx track was in perfect condition Friday morning, but with over 750 riders tearing it up the last few days, the track has become extremely rough.

More Updates to come throughout the day with live coverage of the Pro Motos.

The jump of all jumps is the sky jump which allow the best riders to air it out over 150+ feet if they are up the challenge.
