The EMX Sparks British Masters, the UK’s premier electric and youth motocross championship, delivered another unforgettable weekend of racing at the legendary Monster Mountain circuit in South Wales.
Originally scheduled to take place at Pembrey MX, a last-minute venue change was made due to the unavailability of water required to manage dust levels on track. Thanks to the swift response and support of the team at Monster Mountain, Round 4 was successfully relocated—ensuring a safe and high-quality racing environment for all competitors.
The revised venue saw hundreds of young racers from across the country go bar-to-bar in an electrifying mix of balance bike, electric MX, and petrol-powered 50cc action. With dry conditions holding for most of the weekend and a final dash of rain to spice things up, the series once again showcased the raw talent, determination, and resilience of the next generation of dirt bike riders.
