We EAT, SLEEP, RIDE, TALK, BREATH, DREAM, LIVE and LOVE MOTOCROSS!!!
Fly MX Park has been in business since 2005 and it is a three quarter mile motocross facility featuring both dirt bikes and quads with a full range of classes from minis to seniors. The track is located on the beautiful Ohio River and many of the riders that have participated in events here have said it is the best prepared track and the most efficiently run of any track in the tri-state area. With it's many tight turns, rhythm sections, doubles, triples, table tops and big air jumps the track is exceptionally conducive to competitive side-by-side, handlebar-to-handlebar motocross action. . Fly MX Park is also the home of the best MX school in the tri-state area, “Big Guy’s MX School”.
We will be OPEN for practice on Wednesday July 2nd. The weather prediction is Partly Cloudy and 80 degrees with a 10% chance of a shower.
NOTICE: Our "Best Wishes" go out to one of Fly MX Parks "Regulars" Glenna Schmid, she was injured a few weeks ago in a motorcycle accident in Morgantown, WV. It sounds like it will be awhile before she is making laps at the track.
GET WELL SOON, Glenna!!
RACE 7 (Sunday)
It was a very good day for a race; not too hot and no rain and we had 104 riders today. Nathan Heiney raced for only the second time this year (he has had some injury problems) and he put together two excellent rides today in the Open C class, he won both motos while pulling away from everybody. Unfortunately, Rick Sams (our D Class Points Leader) had a bad day in the D Class and fell down in the second Moto and ended up in second place overall, but a new Racer this year, Bob Cramblett (cheered on by his son, Dolan Cramblett) WON the D Class today. Once again, a 62 year old racer by the name Richard Kyer continues to pile up the points in the quad vet class and the quad amatuer class; still beating riders one-third his age.
We had a couple of surprise visitors today, Ariel Monroe and her Mom came to watch the races today. Ariel was recently in a bad accident at the National MX races at the Unadilla Track in New Berlin, NY. She ended up with some broken bones and had to have emergency surgery to repair some internal injuries. She is up and around now, but she says it will be awhile before she can get back on her four wheeler.
Also, we started a new Quad "College Boy" Class today, if you are between the ages of 16 and 24, come and try your hand at the new class.
The race results and point standings have been posted.
NOTICE: If you are getting frustrated by racing in other competing series and not being able to find out were you stand on a weekly basis, either in the race results or the point standings, come and race at FLY MX PARK!!
WE post race results and point standings immediately after each race! We don't make promises we can't keep! Also, when we post a race schedule, we stick to it, rain or shine!! We are like the old "Mutual of Omaha" insurance company; You can always count on us!!

Cody Longwell, The Holeshot!
Check out the new 2007 Champs page. If you have noticed the "BGMX" label underneath the names of many of the riders in this year's CHAMPS Page, all of these riders graduated from BIG GUY'S MX School and went on to make it to the winner's circle. Riders (BGMX school graduates) in 17 different classes won this season. Just another benefit to training, riding, and racing at FLY MX PARK!! Come and take advantage of the combined100+ years of racing experience that Guy Longwell, his sons, and the staff at FLY MX Park has to offer!!
The 2007 "Roostin' on the River" Series CHAMPS!
RACE 18.
How sad, when last
season
ended!! It's hard to believe what an awesome season we had
last year. The weather was excellent for every race but one, the track was in TEXT BOOK PERFECT condition, and the rider turnout was amazing! We can't thank everyone enough for all of your support in 2007.
Check out our new web page with pictures from the "Motocross des Nations" at Budds Creek. Our official "Fly MX Park" track photographer got some amazing pictures. We hope you enjoy them! I can only describe the race as "One Perfect Moment in Time". The "Men of Fly MX Park" did us proud, check out Cody, Dusty and Justin's results at the top of the new page. The USA once again proved to the world that they have the best Motocross Racers with a first place overall. France was second and Belgium came in third.
Remember, this season to be considered for the 2008 championship, you have to ride in 13 races at Fly MX Park. The explanation is at the bottom of the "Schedule" page for the 2008 requirements.
When you come to the races this season (2008), bring a portable radio with you. We are now broadcasting the day's event on an FM radio station (88.1Mhz).
