VURBMOTO PULLS THE PLUG
A
fter a 10-year run, moto-
cross/supercross website
Vurbmoto.com is calling it quits.
It was recently announced on its
website that it will be signing off
at the end of the month.
This was posted on its website
January 20:
It's with heavy hearts that
we have come to terms with a
decision to sign off at the end
of January. Since Vurbmoto's
inception, we have achieved
success beyond what we pos-
sibly could have hoped for or
imagined, all while following
our passion within a sport and
industry true to our hearts. We
have achieved our collective
goals and take great pride in
having been industry influenc-
ers along the way. We hope that
our efforts and contributions
to the industry will not soon be
forgotten.
There are many factors that
helped us come to this deci-
sion, a primary one being the
changing online digital land-
scape, which we believe will
face adversity in coming years.
As opposed to trying to reinvent
Vurbmoto, we have collectively
decided to hold our heads high
and celebrate a history-making
run, realizing that all good
things must come to an end…
To our friends, our race com-
munities, the industry, race
promoters, track staff, vendors
and everybody in between, we
thank YOU from the bottom of
our hearts for your belief, dedi-
cation, goodwill, and unrivaled
support. Thank you ALL for be-
ing a part of this journey.
Respectfully,
The Vurb Family CN
AMA ANNOUNCES 2017 DUAL SPORT SERIES
T
he AMA National Dual Sport Series, spon-
sored by Beta for the third consecutive year,
boasts 19 two-day events for 2017.
"The AMA National Dual Sport Series traces
its roots back to 1987 and has been providing an
avenue for some of the country's top dual sports
to be featured at the national level," said AMA
Recreational Riding and Volunteer Manager Marie
Wuelleh. "AMA-chartered clubs and promoters
organize thousands of miles of trail for AMA mem-
bers to enjoy on their dual-sport machines every
year. The noncompetitive events often include
meals, a t-shirt, post-ride activities, camping, ca-
maraderie and more. Be sure to mark an event, or
several, on your calendar for this year."
The AMA oversees the series, which provides
great riding trails and features additional perks for
participants. Every rider will be entered to win a
Beta motorcycle in a year-end sweepstakes.
"Beta is proud to be the title sponsor of the
AMA Dual Sport Series," said Beta Marketing
Manager Tim Pilg. "We see the importance of
being a part of the series as it has grown over
the past few years. We have been working hard
developing our RR-S models, and it has been nice
to see more and more Beta riders signed up every
year."
