After being put on hold for 12 months and suffering the dissapointment of having to cancel the proposed opening round at Bromsberrow due to the awful wet May weather,, the new AMCA National Series finally gets a chance to burst into action this weekend with its opening round at Lower Drayton. Sponsored by Dirtshifter Bike Cleaner, this Championship caters for Juniors, Seniors and Experts riders who have either not qualified or do not want to compete in the main AMCA British Championship.
Giving them an opportunity to ride some of the circuits that the main series competes on, this Championship will also travel to Ollerton, Hawkstone Park and Nympsfield. At every round Dirtshifter will be awarding products and spot prizes with the overall series top three in the Experts Classes being automatically offered the chance to transfer into the 2022 main Championship or if declined enter the National series for another 12 months.

How can I start?
This all depends on what discipline you want to start with – some require you to take a licence whilst others are more flexible and allow you to turn up and ride. Once you have opted for a discipline, see the FAQ for more tailored questions.
What is the difference between motocross, enduro, and trials?
These are all different disciplines the AMCA caters for, along with much more. Motocross is fast paced, short races over both natural and man-made terrain with 36 riders going into a first corner. Enduro is more long distance, long duration events, usually through woodland. Trials is slow paced, technical, balance based over challenging short course with the object to go through without putting your foot on the floor.
How old do I have to be?
The AMCA accepts riders from the age of 6 for trials, 7 for motocross, 11 for enduro and supermoto, and 16 for classic scrambles.
