Bryan Smith, Michigan leading racer, would be racing for this track, AMA Pro Racing wrote.

Smith has won more than five races in 2014 and could've won more if he wasn't black flagged for a smoking bike and was later disqualified.

This new discipline would allow athletes to start at a drop of an 88 feet-high drop-in ramp that soars over a 50-feet gap.

Racers could expect logs, rocks, jumps and tight curves on the Enduro X track. Spectators could expect air tricks from Moto X Speed & Style racers.

This track would be the course of BMX riders and skateboarders. It has ample seating, suits and other built-in infrastructure.

There were additional viewing areas with supplement seats and there would be seats scattered across the venue.
