ABOUT THE GARMIN ARENACROSS TOUR: Garmin Arenacross takes the most spectacular elements of outdoor motocross racing, boils them down into a concentrated cocktail and then shoehorns them into arenas on purpose-built dirt tracks.  The programme will feature Freestyle Motocross, which will take place 40 feet above the track.  Riders will hit purpose-built ramps and then attempt to out-do each other as they whip and back-flip 100kg motorcycles in a jaw-dropping display of aerial gymnastics. Headlined by the Godfather of Freestyle Motocross and action sports legend Edgar Torronteras.  This FMX star is renowned globally for defying gravity and throwing the biggest whips in the world and will blow your mind.  But it’s not just for die hard motorbike fans, the unique mix of live entertainment, music, lasers and flames is a thrilling experience for the whole family and one of the hottest new shows to hit the UK.
