Southside Promotions are expanding the ever popular Mini SX Open in Frankston into a two round series for 2009.
Round One will be held at Frankston BMX Track on Saturday March 14th with the series concluding at Shepparton BMX Track in Northern Victoria on Saturday March 28th.
Since 2006 Southside Promotions’ Adam Bailey, Mick Sinclair and Cam Sinclair have been running the Mini SX Open at Frankston BMX Track, South-East of Melbourne. The event attracts up to 200 of the best Mini bike racers in Australia to do battle for over $5000 in cash and prizes.
The event also features Freestyle Motocross (FMX) demos by the best Australia has to offer including Crusty Demon riders Cam Sinclair, Blake “Bilko” Williams and Kain Saul. For Blake Williams it will be his first appearance in Australia for over six months, since a knee reconstruction put him out of action. In 2009 however Blake did have some extremely strong performances on the international FMX scene, including first place at the Mountain Dew Action Sports Tour.
“I cant wait for the opportunity to ride in front of the local fans. I always enjoy being a part of the Mini SX events and this year going to Shepparton will be great.” Blake Williams said.
The combination of mini bike racing and FMX demonstrations has been a great success for Southside Promotions and always provides great entertainment and fun for the whole family.
“We are really excited to expand Mini SX racing in 2009. The event has always had great support from the riders and spectators and I’m sure 2009 will be even bigger and better than ever!” Adam Bailey from Southside Promotions said.
“Shepparton is the perfect venue for another Mini SX event. The track is really technical and the riders will love it. We also expect a huge spectator turnout there; the people of Shepparton love their motorsport!”
