“S.M.A.R.T” Civilian Motorcycle Skills Challenge
This event will bring together experienced civilian riders on all street-legal motorcycles in a competitive environment to navigate various cone patterns. Competitors will attempt to ride through these challenging cone patterns without knocking over or touching cones. These courses are designed to limit every motorcycle rider’s capabilities.

This skills challenge will require each participant to complete (3) different courses, which are listed below:
* Expert Skills Challenge Course – Challenging course for experienced riders

* Challenge Ride – A course will be set up, and riders will get one chance to ride it and post a score.
