This year we are going big with our events and introducing a new concept called “Motorcycle Madness.” Motorcycle Madness is a collection of fun, exciting and action-packed activities that turn the average XDL event into a full blown festival. Motorcycle Madness will include XDL, trials riding, motorcycle displays, motorcycle art, the XDL Photo Zone, a kid’s zone, vendors, beer garden, music and more food options. Not every piece of content will be at every event, but we’ll be pretty consistent. And at Long Beach, Indy and ABQ, we’ll have a free open house to allow you to swing by the venue, watch the guys (and girls) practice, and grab some food and maybe a beer.

We’ll also be putting on some new content for 2012. As many of you might know, motorcycle drifting is becoming quite the sensation. Depending on the venue we’ll be offering the XDL Drift Battle, Gymkhana Drift Demos and High Speed Drift Shows. And at select events the women will be putting on Girl Power Jam Sessions to show you what’s up with the ladies.
