The sport itself

In the Netherlands, motocross is the most popular motorsport. It's a motorized sport practiced on a special track with curves, obstacles, and jumps. Riders complete multiple laps of the track on dirt bikes with knobby tires, which provide grip in the sand and mud. This makes for exciting races and plenty of spectacle!

For young and old

In Nieuw-Vennep, children as young as 5 participate, but even those over 80 still get on their bikes. Thanks to the various classes, everyone can participate at their own level. A special class is the Krasse Knarren, where older participants demonstrate that their love for motocross never fades. This makes Motocross an event truly accessible to everyone, with both fun and memorable moments.

More than just racing

Besides the thrills on and along the course, it's also a great atmosphere. Visitors can watch the riders' quarters, where the bikes are being prepared for the start. Feel the excitement there and share the anticipation with other spectators. And you can even stay overnight on the grounds!
