The Line-Up Is Basically The Avengers Of Motocross
Let’s talk about who’s coming. Because these guys aren’t just good riders, they’re legends! Dean Wilson is leading the charge, and if that name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s kind of a big deal. A former AMA champ and currently topping the Arenacross leaderboard, Dean’s known for his grit and all-or-nothing attitude. Also in the mix is Tommy Searle, a British icon with crazy skills and a fearless edge. He’s already bagged the 2023 title, and he’s hungry for more.
But it doesn’t just at Dean, the list goes on. Here’s who’s revving up for the ultimate showdown:
British Powerhouse:
- Tommy Searle
- Adam Chatfield
- Dylan Woodcock
- Eddie Wade
- Matt Bayliss
- Taylor Hammal
- Joe Clayton
- Ben Clayton
- Jake Preston
- Steven Clarke
- Ash Greedy
International Challengers:
- Cedric Soubeyras (France)
- Thomas Ramette (France)
- Adrien Escoffier (France)
- Yannis Irsuti (France)
- Jorge Zaragoza (Spain)
- Joan Cros (Spain)
- Michael Hicks (USA)
- Kelana Humphrey (USA)
That’s 20 pro riders, each with their own style, story, and something to prove. Whether it’s grit, speed, or showmanship. They’re bringing it all to the floor of Etihad Arena.
Be Loud & Let The Riders Go Crazy
Let’s be real. You’re going for the show, but you’re getting a whole experience out of it. I’m talking 40-foot jumps, bikes flipping over 100-foot gaps, and soundtrack that makes your chest rattle. Honestly, the stunts alone are enough to leave your jaw on the floor. And don’t forget, the louder the crowd, the crazier the riders go. So bring your energy, because the crowd if part of the show too!
Time To Meet The Riders!
Yep, this is your chance to actually meet the athletes, take photos, and score autographs. Every ticket gives you trackside access, but if you’re a hardcore fan (or just curious), there’s a Pre-Show Track Walk & Meet and Greet experience too. That means:
- You get on the actual track before the show
- You meet the riders and race teams at the start gate
- You watch a private FMX demo right in front of you
Oh… And You Might Win A Dirt Bike?!
No joke. Every ticket automatically enters you into a draw to win a 2025 Husqvarna TC 85 19/16 motocross bike. It’s built for younger riders, so if you’ve got kids who dream of becoming motocross champs (or want to be the cool aunt/uncle who wins them a dirt bike), this is your chance.
A Night Jam Packed With Everything You Love
Live music? Check. T-shirt cannons? Yep. A crowd buzzing with excitement, families, fans, and people just looking for a good time? Absolutely. So, it doesn’t matter if you’re into motorsports or just want something way more exciting than your regular dinner and movie – this is the kind of night you’ll be talking about to your friends who missed it for weeks afterwards.
Tickets start at AED 95 and are available now on etihadarena.ae and ticketmaster.ae. There are group packages too if you’re bringing your crew along. So… see you at the arena?
