OFF-ROAD STARS FLY TO CAROLE NASH MOTORCYCLE LIVE
Thursday 18 November 2010


Fans of off-road bikes and sport will be flocking to Birmingham on 4th December for Dirt Day at Carole Nash Motorcycle Live with the news that more of the world’s top off-road racers will be appearing.

The Event has already announced the attendance of MX GP aces Sébastien Pourcel and Gautier Paulin and this has been bolstered by the news that Honda’s British MX1 champion Evgeny Bobryshev will also be at Carole Nash Motorcycle Live on 4 December.

The popular Russian will join other top level off-road racers heading for Birmingham, including Shaun Simpson, Zach Osborne, Martin Barr, Jake Nicholls, Nathan Parker and Paul Malin. But fans can do so much more than just look at new bikes and world-class riders.

Visitors from the age of five can have a go themselves on a variety of off-road riding activities, including Suzuki’s Off-road Experience which features a series of berms and straights with expert advice from qualified motocross experts.

Yamaha comes to Carole Nash Motorcycle Live with an indoor motocross school and an outdoor enduro experience and there’s even an opportunity for visitors to test their skill and balance in a free trials lesson in the ACU Trials Zone.

With more new off-road models on display under one roof than anywhere else in the UK, Carole Nash Motorcycle Live will also offer fans the opportunity to see the latest products up-close and personal from 27 November to 5 December, but with special attention paid to Dirt Day, when stars from the world of dirt drop in to meet fans and chat on the Black Horse stage in the Arai Entertainment Zone.

Finlay McAllan, Managing Director of Event organisers, MCI Exhibitions, said: “Naturally we're thrilled that all these top riders have chosen our Event to interact with their fans. We’re also delighted to have more new off-road product than at any other UK event. Off-road sport is incredibly important to the future of motorcycling, allowing kids to get onto two wheels at a very early stage.”

He added: “While it's fantastic to have all these great riders appearing and major manufacturers exhibiting their latest models, we're especially pleased to be able to offer the opportunity to get on and ride at the NEC, too. With several off-road experience features, you really can try motocross, trials and enduro all in one-day while taking in a freestyle MX show and getting the kids onto two-wheels for the first time.”
