SUPERCROSS EVENT SET TO ROAR

An exciting new event will take place in Western Sydney, the supercross motorbike AUS-X Open. The event will be the biggest action sports competition in the Southern Hemisphere, combining an international supercross racing event with a freestyle motorcross (FMX) ‘best trick’ competition.

It will also feature pyrotechnics, light and sound, and a line-up of the world’s best supercross and FMX riders.

Set to contribute $1.8 million to the NSW economy in visitor expenditure, the AUS-X Open will be broadcast to 139 countries around the world. Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said the event is one-of-a-kind for both NSW and Australia.

“The Australian Open of supercross brings spectacular action-sport to Sydney, combining world-class supercross racing with the awe-inspiring tricks and stunts of freestyle motocross competition. It will have something for motorsport lovers of all types and ages, and I encourage everyone to make the trip to Sydney in November to be a part of the action,” she said.

Tickets will be available through Ticketek in May, with international rider announcements and further information to follow in April.

The AUS-X Open will be held at AllPhones Arena at Sydney Olympic Park on 28 November.
