SLAM Fest Returns to Riverside

Motocross spawned in the U.S. in the 1970s, with simple off-road races. Today, the sport now generates millions of dollars in revenue, taking place in huge stadiums and attracting spectators from all over the world.

On Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016, The TransWorld Motocross SLAM Fest, presented by MTA Distributing, will kick off at Milestone Motocross Park in Riverside, California, and extend to the following day. Admission to the event is free, and will feature two races, Hell On Wheels “Run What You Brung,” featuring vintage bikes, as well as the always popular pro Supercross race.

About 40 vendors will attend the event, both selling their products and allowing attendees to test them out. Open track practice will be available on two Milestone tracks, and kids’ learn-to-ride classes will also be taking places throughout the weekend.

On Friday, before SLAM Fest actually begins, industry workers will take a break from the office and participate in the TransWorld Motocross Industry Cup. Riders of all skill levels will race on a brand new track that covers the entirety of Milestone Park. There will be three classes for the race: one for professionals, one for intermediate riders, and the “desk jockey” race, meant for beginner riders or even those who have never gotten on a bike before. Each class will be broken up by age group as well.

After the individual races, the Tretta Motoda Cup Team Race will take place in a Grand Prix format, different from the more intense, cutthroat style from years prior — these races are just for fun!

For those who don’t want to miss out on any weekend racing action, set up camp and bring the whole family. For those of age, bring some adult beverages to tailgate with. Plan on two to three drinks per person, just like a cocktail party. Don’t get your fill too early, though. There will be a spectators-only beer garden available on-site, as well as food for sale.
