VIDEO: Track construction VELTINS-Arena

We're building an epic hybrid style motocross track inside the VELTINS-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, for the first ever indoor motocross race, the Monster Energy SMX Riders' and Manufacturers' Cup that is taking place THIS Saturday night, October 8th.

The pitch of the stadium is built on hydraulic rails therefore it can be easily removed from the stadium. The pitch took four hours to remove before the 12,000 tons of dirt could be trucked in one-by-one. It has been an incredible task, and we have been capturing it day by day. Watch the first two days of construction in the videos below. We will post the third and final video today, followed by the first GoPro lap of the track which will feature KTM’s Ryan Dungey, Honda’s Tim Gajser and Yamaha’s Romain Febvre.
