Host a Backyard Motocross Event

This tells you how to host a backyard motocross event.

Steps

  1. Have permission. If you don't own the property yourself (such as if it belongs to your parents or a friend, make sure you have their permission. Even if you do own the property, make sure it's appropriate to do such a thing: that it's all right with neighbors (or that there are no neighbors near enough to mind the noise) and that it's not against ordinances.
    • You'll also need to have space enough to rearrange the terrain and run motorcycles or quads on it.
  2. Get dirt and build a track with jumps.
  3. Invite riders. Three or four will do. You don't need too much.
  4. Charge admission to pay for the gasoline and to pay your riders.
  5. Advertise your shows so that people know about them.
  6. Have someone record the event on video.

Tips

  • Agree in advance how you will compensate your riders. Will you pay them for time? For gasoline? Or will you simply?
  • There's no need to hold motocross events for money, or to have an audience. As long as everyone is content just to get together and have a place to ride, just do it for the fun of it.

Warnings

  • Always wear a helmet and riding gear, it's for safety.
  • If you want to charge admission, pay your riders, or advertise your events, be aware of laws governing these activities.
