On January 27 & 28th 2017 the ArenaCross UK Tour graced Belfast’s Odyssey Arena for two rounds of the UK Competition. ย With everyone from 7 year old kids to Europe’s finest indoor Motorcross Racers and a ridiculously skilled Freestyle Team this really is a high octane, completely flat out show from start to finish – and it’s a format that works and this is its fifth year on the bounce in Belfast – and my second.
Check out the official website here for all the results, upcoming events, news and photos…ย http://www.arenacrossuk.com
So what does it entail? ย Racing…Freestyling…Some more Racing…A bit of Beat Boxing…Some more Freestyling and even more Racing.
Now that’s a good schedule for a night’s entertainment and it doesn’t really seem to stop. ย When the racing heats stop the freestylers come on, the track gets fixed the racing starts again and this sequence repeats. ย It is a recipe that a few other events could learn from. ย Keep the action going, keep the crowd keen! ย It works.
Not only does the schedule work well but these guys – from the kids to the pros are going flat out…full tilt.
I have put together a bit of a ‘Highligh Reel’ which you can view on my YouTube Channel, or right here…

(Please note this video only shows highlights from the FMX aspect of the show – with so much going on on the track it would be unfair of me to try and capture any racing footage and upload as an accurate representation of the race – you really have to go and see the reacing and appreciate what these guys are foing on motorcycles that is in reality a track not much bigger than an ice hockey rink! – The video is not Monetized.)
I have put together a gallery of some of the action from both the Racing and the FMX sections of the show, have a browse and enjoy…
