WEST BRANCH, Mich. (June 14, 2011) – Supermoto hits the streets of a northern Michigan town this Friday where spectators will watch this unique form of motorsport for free. More than 50 athletes on specialized motocross bikes with slick road race-style tires will compete on the streets of West Branch and on a temporary parking lot dirt section. Internet channel ActionSportsTV.com is the presenting sponsor for the Taco Bell Ogemaw Hills Supermoto Spectacular.

 

ActionSportsTV.com joins with MISuperMoto.com, the event promoter, to announce a $1000 points fund for the Pro Class. Pro racers from many disciplines including motocross, flat track and of course supermoto will compete, traveling from many parts of the United States.

Additional riders from the United States and Canada will complete in the Pro Class field.
 

The Taco Bell Ogemaw Hills Supermoto Spectacular will start on the main street of downtown West Branch, Michigan as part of the annual Ogemaw Hills Bike Week. This Friday evening, spectators will line the sidewalks to watch the riders take off and back-it-in to the first turn, down a short elevation side street and then up into a parking lot where there will be a temporary dirt section. Jumping through the dirt section with various combinations of obstacles and then they’ll jump out onto the street again, up a slight elevation, backing-it-in to the left down the other side of main street hitting a 50-foot dirt table top as they head down the street and then a 180-degree turn to complete their lap.
