Round four of the Red Bull Pro Nationals Motocross series will take place at Canada Heights, Swanley, this weekend.

The track, on Button Street, just off the A20 near Farningham will host three championship events and a freestyle show.

On Saturday and Sunday, the top motocross riders in Europe will compete for the Red Bull Pro Nationals, while youngsters will challenge for the Red Bull Elite Youth Cup and amateurs will contest the Fuchs Silkolene 2 Stroke British Championship.

Among the elite riders will be Elliott Banks-Browne, who has won all six races this season for Pulse Racing DB Honda and is cruising towards the Red Bull Pro Nationals MX2 title.

Others taking part include Bryan Mackenzie who was second overall last year, Mel Pocock who has enjoyed success at Canada Heights in the past and Neville Bradshaw who is looking to improve on an impressive showing at the track last summer.

The day will also feature the FMX Live Tour which includes jumps and mid-air tricks including back-flips, while BMX legend Kai Forte will also be putting on spectacular shows over the two days.

There will also be the chance for fans to try their hand at riding a motocross bike in the Suzuki Motocross experience, while the children’s zone boasts bungee bouncers, zorb balls, a bouncy castle and special character guest appearances.
