EVENT: International Dirt Bike Show

Organisers are hailing this year’s International Dirt Bike Show as the biggest and best ever. Doors open on 31 October at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.

2013 Dirt Bike Show- biggest ever

All the major motocross, enduro, trail and trial manufacturers will be there, as well as all the latest and best riding gear, kit, parts and accessories.

For many families, though, a visit to Europe's largest dedicated off-road show is as much about the free entertainment and hands-on activities as it is about seeing the latest gear, and the 2013 event certainly won't stretch the family budget. The organising team has stacked out halls four and five with plenty to see and do. Hall four is the place to head if you want to sit back and enjoy watching others take the strain and hall five is where you can get involved.

The live arena schedule will see non-stop action with Steve Colley, three-time British solo trials champ, and his ultra-popular trials bike stunt show alternating with a series of Flattrack racing demonstration heats and finals, where the 2009 British and European Flattrack Champion Pete Boast and team will show the body positioning and brake/throttle skills involved in this hectic discipline. Show favourites Danny Butler and his Extreme Mountain Bike crew will return with a new and exciting stage set through which they'll perform impressive gravity-defying stunts, without an engine in sight.

The action continues through into hall five with rounds three and four of the new all-action Fro Systems UK Superlite minibike series taking over the weekend of the Show, with daily qualifying heats and an afternoon finale.

Family members looking to have-a-go won't be disappointed, as an array of activities, including Oset electric trials for the kids, My First Honda Licence, intro-to-intermediate trials try-outs for adults, as well as kids' quads and remote control 'crossers, will all be free-of-charge in hall five. If you're 16 and over and fancy having a crack at riding a geared road bike, the Motor Cycle Industry Association's 'Get On' team will be only too happy to assist.

Children aged ten and under go free, admission on the day of Hallowe’en is half-price for adults, and parking is free too.
