It’s arguably the biggest and best event on the British MX calendar and it just keeps getting better! The promoters of VMXdN Foxhill are excited to announce that the legend, American racer Damon Bradshaw will be guest of honour at the 2024 event held over the August bank holiday weekend at the iconic Wiltshire Grand Prix circuit.
Damon Bradshaw burst onto the scene after an illustrious amateur career at the Osaka Supercross where at just 15 years old on a factory Yamaha he beat Factory Honda’s Ricky Johnson and broke Johnsons winning streak. His first 125 SX win came in 1989 in Miami – some introduction to the pro ranks! His results in the point standings don’t reflect the impact he had on the sport, he was iconic for his style both on and off the track, his aggression and sheer speed.
- 1991 AMA Pro Motocross 250MX 3rd place
- 1991 AMA Pro Motocross 500MX 4th place
- 2x AMA Pro Motocross 250MX 4th place (1992 & 1990)
- 6 career AMA Pro Motocross 250MX wins
- 4 career AMA Pro Motocross 125MX wins
The beast from the East earnt his “bad boy” image by being ultra-aggressive on the bike, in both style, battles with other riders and by not giving any quarter on the track but also saw the press as an inconvenience in his life as a pro racer.
He is a huge character and will be on site all weekend – from Friday the 23rd. He will oversee the Foxhill Show’N’Shine bike show, be a guest on the Torq Moto podcast show featuring Pulp MX’s Steve Matthes on Friday evening and on Saturday 24th he will be live on stage with Roger Warren, then Sunday the 25th where he will be doing a parade lap alongside other legends of the sport.
There will be limited edition memorabilia available on site for him to sign for those all-important souvenirs.
In just two short years VMXdN Foxhill has quickly established itself as the “must go-to” event on the British MX calendar, the four-day festival that celebrates all that is good about the 90s/00s 2 stroke era at the circuit that is synonymous with the insurgent 125 and 250 GPs held there.
With a Weekend Adult ticket working out at just £16 a day they are keeping the prices at the 90’s style too. But you will have to be quick if you want to secure your spot on the famous hillside of the natural amphitheatre circuit as tickets are selling like hot cakes!
