“This is a wonderful opportunity for the Loretta Lynn’s Nationals and certainly for motorcycling, in trying to show the amount of youth activity and how much the families are involved in motorcycle racing,” said Ty van Hooydonk, of Discover Today’s Motorcycling. “I can’t imagine a greater event to be showcased on this half-hour show that will be on the Outdoor Channel, and running over and over again.”
“We’ve always known that the MX Sports program promotes the family friendly aspect of motorcycling and motocross racing,” says MX Sports Director Tim Cotter. “We’re excited because the Ride to Adventure showcases that message to an even larger audience.”
The “Ride to Adventure” episode will air on the Outdoor Channel later this year, with the original air date to be announced shortly.
