Motocross history is being made! The second annual Big Bear MX Grand Prix (BBMXGP) is happening again August 19th-23rd at Bear Mountain Resort in Big Bear Lake, California. After a successful inaugural year, the team at Swapmoto Race series is back with updated sections on the track, concerts, access to the chairlift, and the ability to get on the mountain and watch the action up close and personal!

THE TRACK

This year’s track will see some updates for the racers and spectators alike. You can expect another half mile added to “Fout’s Forest”, a slowed-down start for safety, and big updates to the base area with a shipping container riders will go over, as well as a trickier pro section for you spectators to watch. Like last year, the course will get plenty of water as there is snowmaking equipment every 100′ so visibility will be prime.  Races will be timed around 40 minutes, and custom trophies will be awarded to top finishers, and there will be unique collector apparel merchandise for the event made by O’Neal.

Check out the racing action from last year to see for yourself!
