5 Reasons to Attend an Outdoor National This Summer

  1. Authentic Riding Experience
    Outdoor nationals mirror the natural terrain and conditions that local riders are accustomed to, offering a more relatable and genuine racing experience compared to the artificial tracks of Supercross.
  2. Closer to the Action
    Unlike stadium seating in Supercross, outdoor tracks allow fans to get much closer to the racing action, providing better views and a more immersive experience.
  3. Family-Friendly Atmosphere
    These events often feature open paddocks, allowing fans to meet riders, get autographs, and see the bikes up close, making it a great outing for families and enthusiasts alike.
  4. Support Local Riders
    Attending these events supports the broader motocross community, including local riders who often participate in supporting races during the event weekends. In previous years, racers like Bryton Carroll, Cory Carsten, Ricci and Travis Randanella, Anthony Roth, Ian Kearon, and Nick Peccarelli. What new NJ racers will join that list this year?
  5. Scenic Venues
    Tracks like High Point and Unadilla are set in picturesque locations, offering not just great racing but also beautiful surroundings to enjoy during your visit. Southwick’s uniques setting in town and Budd’s Creek’s great spectator viewing are also great experiences.

Outdoor Nationals vs. Supercross: A Closer Look

While Supercross events, such as the one held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, offer the excitement of indoor racing with pyrotechnics and a party-like atmosphere, outdoor nationals provide a different kind of thrill. The natural terrain, varying weather conditions, and longer tracks present unique challenges for riders and a more authentic experience for fans. Moreover, the open-air venues and closer proximity to the track allow spectators to feel more connected to the action.


Plan Your Visit

Tickets for the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship are available through the official Pro Motocross website and authorized ticket vendors. Given the popularity of these events, it’s advisable to purchase tickets in advance and plan accommodations early, especially for rounds like Unadilla and Budds Creek, which often attract large crowds.


Don’t miss the chance to witness the pinnacle of motocross racing this summer. With several rounds within a short drive from New Jersey, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy high-octane action, support the motocross community, and create lasting memories.
