Motocross Top Riders from around the world are set to wage an epic battle June 19 - 29 at the Ford Mammoth Motocross, the oldest continuous running motocross in the USA.

Mammoth Motocross has become known as one of the major amateur events in the country.  The event consistently draws some of the best motocross riders in the world for two weeks of competitive racing at the famous Mammoth Motocross Track, located at 8,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
