The future of South African motocross took center stage on 4 October when the Bloemfontein MX Track (BORC) buzzed with energy and excitement during the latest Mini-X Growth and Development Programme. Thanks to the continued partnership between the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and Motorsport South Africa (MSA), this initiative is helping shape tomorrow’s motocross champions, one jump and one lap at a time.
From the first practice session to the final race, the young riders gave it everything they had. These junior motocross stars, some just beginning their racing journeys, showed extraordinary skill, determination, and an undeniable love for the sport. The day was packed with fast paced action, plenty of smiles, and the kind of camaraderie that makes motocross such a special community.
The Mini-X programme continues to stand as a cornerstone of MSA’s grassroots development, providing real opportunities for young riders to grow, compete, and dream big.
