UrbanCross at Detroit
The Waterford Hills venue is new to the series. It marks the first motorcycle racing event for the venerable circuit. The track looks to be wide-open in terms of what AMA Supermoto competitors are accustomed to. It will also feature the return of the popular UrbanCross section. UrbanCross is an obstacle unique to AMA Supermoto racing. It features metal/wood ramps erected on the paved section of the track. One of the jumps is a 60 foot tabletop.
“We are excited to have the UrbanCross section back for this event,” said Joel Grover, AMA Supermoto Director. “UrbanCross brings a valuable element of challenge and fun to AMA Supermoto. It’s exciting for the fans and a unique test for the riders. We have addressed safety and logistical issues and our team has created a well balanced solution that enabled us to return UrbanCross to the championship. Special thanks go to our event promoter, Tom Zielinski as well as All Access, the company that built the UrbanCross elements.”
The AMA Supermoto at Waterford Hills is round five of the AMA Supermoto Championship presented by Parts Unlimited. It will provide a festive atmosphere to fans. In addition to the great racing action, Observed Trials riding great Geoff Aaron will present his Dunlop X-Show. The event will also feature freestyle motocross with the innovative Trevor Vines.
