BRITISH SUPERCROSS SHIFTS IN TO HIGH GEAR

BRITISH SUPERCROSS SHIFTS IN TO HIGH GEAR
It's been a long wait for the British Supercross Championship to fire back up after a sold out round 1 at Belfast Odyssey Arena Back in October. Next up is the stunning O2 Arena in London on February 5th.
A tremendous list of top British riders has been assembled for the event including Rob Hooper Maxxis Suzuki Supercross specialist Steven Clarke fresh off the Australian Supercross tour. Clarke will look to topple the Kawasaki duo of Adam Chatfield and English - German Supercross star Jack Brunnel who went 1-2 at Belfast in the SX2 final. Belfast star of the show, KTM's Martin Barr has confirmed for London. CCM star Tom Church who turned a lot of heads at Belfast will also return for London and Liverpool along with superstar CCM teammate and Multi-time British Motocross Champ Stephen Sword. Defending Champ Gordon Crockard will be looking to the top step of the podium after a dissappointing round 1 of the series aboard his new TAS Suzuki. Head to Head superstar and current German Supercross points leader, Welshman Ashley Greedy is always entertaining and will look forward to carrying his winnings ways back home in the UK. South African Import MVRD Suzuki rider Neville Bradshaw has also confirmed for London and Liverpool. Future West is also hard at working trying to secure the rest of the best British riders.
Of course in addition to the pro's a full youth and amateur program will accompany the premier classes. Riders looking to enter the London and Liverpool events should call the ACU to register asap. The O2 event will be held on the same weekend as the annual MCN London Motorcycle Show at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre just across the Thames.
Tickets for the London and Liverpool events are selling well. For tickets to The O2 Arena, London call Ticketmaster on 0871 984 0002. For Liverpool tickets call Liverpool Echo Arena box office on 0844 338 8000. For more details on the British Supercross Championship visit www.fwsx.com

ADJUST YOUR BRITISH SUPERCROSS CALENDAR

ADJUST YOUR BRITISH SUPERCROSS CALENDAR


The opening weekend of the British Supercross Championship at the Belfast Odyssey has now been condensed in to a one day event on Saturday October 23rd. In addition the Liverpool date originally in for November 27th has now been moved to February 19th 2011. The O2 event in London will still be on the original published date of February 5, 2011 in conjunction with the MCN motorcycle show at the nearby Excel Centre.

Future West's John Hellam said "The changes at Belfast are necessary due to the present economic climate. Ticket sales for the Friday at Belfast didn't warrant a two day event. We have decided that one packed house on Saturday night is the way to go for this year. We have also had some correspondence from riders that find it too expensive to compete in a two day as opposed to a one day event. Extra time off work or school is an added drain on the competitors in the present economic climate."

The Liverpool round of the British Supercross Championship has now been moved to February 19th. "This date move will give us more flexibility with the organizational side of things as we have taken on more events worldwide this year and date clashes could not have been avoided without these changes." added Hellam. Future West would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and look forward to the revised schedule.
