Freestyle Motocross is one of the most popular and rapidly growing
action motorsport attractions of our time. Vaters’ Monster
Motorsports can bring the high flying freestyle motocross riders to
thrill your spectators with their gravity defying stunts performed
in mid-air while jumping 65’ gaps steel ramp to steel ramp. Vaters’
FMX can be booked as part of your monster truck event or as part of
some other event that needs some action.
 |
Vaters’ FMX takes care of everything for your venue. We book
the riders and manage the ramps including ramp set up, movement,
and tear down. We have in house both steel take off and
landing ramps which when compared to conventional dirt ramps is
more economical and convenient. Steel ramps also add an element
of danger that dirt ramps lack. Dirt take-off and landing ramps
take time and money to build. Most promoters have to rent ramps
which increases your cost we save you money by having our own.
In addition dirt ramps are permanent for the duration of the
event. Our steel ramps can be moved and set up in a matter of
minutes. This allows for more flexibility when choreographing
the attractions in any event. Safety is important to Vaters’
FMX and we provide a safety airbag which is attached to the
landing ramp in case one of our riders comes up short. |
Vaters’
FMX shows have all the high-flying, action packed stunts and tricks
along with crowd interaction and participation. Our lead rider is
Michael Vaters II who has been riding since age 4 and competing
professionally since age 16 as the youngest rider on the circuit.
Michael grew up traveling to monster truck events all over the US
and Canada with his father who drives the Black Stallion monster
truck. Competitiveness and showmanship runs in the family and
he knows what it takes to put on a great show. Michael has
jumped for some of the largest promoters out there and has been to
Travis Pastrana’s to share air time with some of the best riders in
the nation. Vaters’ FMX can book as many riders as you need
depending upon your venue’s budget and time allotment.
