2015 Las Vegas EnduroCross Track Map

April 16, 2015

—PRESS RELEASE—

X Games Step Up launch ramp included

Irvine, CA. (April 16th) – The 2015 GEICO AMA EnduroCross Championship returns home to Las Vegas on Friday, May 1st. Just like it all began in 2004, the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas will host the stars of EnduroCross. But this time they'll be tackling a track seemingly impossible to ride during that first event in 2004.

To make room for all the obstacles 2015 requires, EnduroCross track builders have moved the start outside! Riders will blast into the Arena, straight into the mayhem.

The first thing racers will face is a rock turn guiding them straight to an elevated Matrix—closely spaced logs that often send riders over the bars. After a quick trip through a firewood pit, over a mountain topped with logs, across a couple log double-jumps and scrambling up a huge rock pile, riders will navigate through massive wire spools, jump into a pond and exit into a sand pit. Sounds like a days’ worth of extreme trail riding crammed into every lap!

If that’s not enough to get you excited, the Las Vegas event, three rounds into the 2015 season, will be a qualifying race with three X Games Enduro X spots up for grabs. Outstanding performances will earn three lucky riders invites to the 2015 Austin X Games Enduro X. So you can expect a few of the up and comers that have not yet earned an invite to be going for it.

Speaking of X Games qualifying, check out the launch ramp in the middle of the floor—this will be used for the first ever X Games Step Up qualifier. This special event is open to 30 riders with the top 10 advancing to the evening show. The top 3 will get an invite to compete at the X Games on June 4th in front of the Texas State Capitol in downtown Austin.
