What a great weekend we had at Round 9! The Punisher definitely lived up to its name and tested some of our riders who have "forgotten" how to race in muddy conditions. Some of you were excited to get a good mudder in and there seemed to be something for everyone out there on the track!
THANK YOU to Jerrod and Liz Hitt and their family, friends and volunteers for putting on a great race weekend!!! It is never easy on our first time promoters and we are so happy for this crew and what they accomplished! We also want to shout out that the EMS team only had 2 first aid calls at this event all weekend! That's a huge celebration for this crew!
THANK YOU to the NYOA volunteers that help make this happen every weekend. So many working behind the scenes to keep the machine running and we couldn't do it without you.
THANK YOU to our riders, spectators and families for choosing to spend your time with us! From one of the track workers... A BIG THANK YOU for how you all cleaned up after yourselves! It made their Monday clean up much easier and it was appreciated.
Now, while it's always bittersweet, it's time to gear up for the 2023 NYOA Finale at ROLLING OAKS, Round 10! Your promoters have some awesome events planned and we will share details soon!
Wow is all we can say about this weekend's "Field of Dreams" setup at Twisted Fence! Such a fun twist to a start area! Congratulations to Fence and his crew on their 10th anniversary and a great event!
THANK YOU to Jim Tracy, Lindsay Andersen and their entire Twisted Fence team for the incredible effort this weekend! From the strider track to the pit bike race to the races on Sunday it was an amazing weekend! Thank you for the hundreds and hundreds of man hours you poured into this event.
THANK YOU to all of our riders and their families from near and far who came to spend their weekend with us! We hope you enjoyed yourself and that we will see you again at a future event.
3 THANK YOU to our many many volunteers that help keep these events running from week to week. We couldn't do it without you!
To our injured riders, we are thinking of you and sending our wishes for a speedy recovery!
Now we take a brief break as we prepare for the final two rounds of 2023! Both rounds are new to our schedule this year! First up is ROUND 9, The Punisher in Harpursville, NY! Stay tuned to the socials for the details and some great prizes up for grabs. Rest up, tune up those machines and we will see you all very soon!
Hopefully everyone has gotten settled and managed to get those machines cleaned up from a mudder at BTR! We loved hearing the different reactions from the riders about the track and the conditions. Some loved it and some weren't quite as excited about the mud. That's what makes this sport so fun though! The unique terrain and conditions of each property keeps the sport interesting.
1. THANK YOU to Russ and Nancy Purvis and their crew for the great weekend! We appreciate the time and effort that went into holding this event and building the tracks!
2. THANK YOU to our vendors who continue to show up and outfit and feed our riders and their families! We appreciate your time and attendance at our events.
3. THANK YOU to you our NYOA family. Seeing you help each other and come together in emergency situations from medical to mechanicals it's amazing to witness the care and concern you have for each other.
Rest up, heal up and get those machines ready for the tenth anniversary of ROUND 8, TWISTED FENCE up next! We will see you all there.
Another amazing NYOA weekend in Harpursville as we enjoyed the final event from Robin and his crew out at Black Sky! We saw lots of smiling faces and a few frustrated ones as the very old school technical classic harescramble track that Robin designed definitely tested skill and endurance!
1 THANK YOU to Robin, Susan, their family friends and crew for the incredible work that has gone into not only this event but everyone they've hosted at the farm! What a huge piece of NYOA history is tied to this land and we are so grateful to them for having us there to race year after year! We wish them all the best as they focus on other projects and properties, and we hope to see them pop into a race from time to time! You'll be missed!
2 THANK YOU to everyone who came out to spend the weekend with us. We know Friday night was a little sketchy (thanks Mother Nature) but everyone dig in and we had a nice Saturday and Sunday! To our riders, their families and spectators thank you for coming out and choosing to spend time at these events.
3 THANK YOU goes out to the NYOA family. You guys pull together every race to help. Borrowing parts, gear, machines, helping with tows and medical emergencies and just general encouragement... we love seeing the teamwork and camaraderie that you all have developed through your love of this sport! Thank you for always being there for each other.
Please take a moment to fill out the survey for this round. We appreciate the feedback.
Now we rest up, heal up and fix up those machines as we prep for ROUND 7, BALDWIN TRAILS. We will see you there!
Thank you to Brittany Crispell, Independent Print Company, for doing a final run of our NYOA store for 2023! A couple of new items to check out! This is a limited time run so order quickly if you see something you want! We want to truly thank Brittany and Steve for doing this for NYOA! We love seeing you all in their apparel!
STORE CLOSES AUGUST 21ST- ALL items print/run AFTER the store closes. You should expect your items to arrive within 3 weeks AFTER the store closes.
What an unbelievable weekend with Mark Potter and the Ditch Banger crew at Greek Peak! We loved seeing so many familiar faces and some new ones too. The facility offered so many unique entertainment options and we were happy to see you and your families out there enjoying the entire weekend!
1. THANK YOU to Potter and his crew for putting on another phenomenal event! We know the work they put into this is difficult to measure but we see the outcome on the smiles at the finish line and the podium as riders finish this challenging course! The extras only help to make the weekend more memorable and we appreciate all of their attention to detail and hard work! (Did you see those overall snowboards???)
Congratulations to this crew on breaking 1000 with 1,019 registered participants!!!
2. THANK YOU to our NYOA family, riders and spectators for coming out and spending your weekend with us! We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did, and we hope to see you back out there on the trails at a future event.
3. THANK YOU to the additional sponsors who stepped up to increase the payouts for the competitors! We know that was appreciated and celebrated! Thank you for investing in the riders and the event!
Please take a moment to fill out the DITCH BANGER survey. The link will be on the story and in the first comment on the post as well as on the website.
Now we take a brief break and get ready for ROUND 6, Black Sky in Harpursville, NY. Stay tuned for details as we get closer to the event!
We have a few "housekeeping" type notes to share and wanted to do that this week.
1. PARKING: We have seen an improvement with this, but there are still reports of people being "parked in" or of people parking behind toy haulers not giving them room to open the gate and get their machines. PLEASE PLEASE be courteous when parking. Have a conversation with the people to make sure they can get out or get what they need. There are ways to work together so please help by being considerate and communicating.
2. SMOKING/VAPING: This is not a subject we want to get too far into. We have had some complaints about the uptick in marijuana use at events. See the rules about being "under the influence" if you have questions about that specifically. The main concern being expressed is that there are families with younger children that are being exposed to second hand smoke including marijuana. We respect your rights. Please respect your fellow campers and racers while they are racing and be considerate with where you're smoking in relation to them.
3. DOGS: Again, we respect your animals and love seeing them. Dogs are not to be in the start area or at registration. This has been a rule for a long time, but we are seeing dogs where they should not be. This is for their safety as well as the safety of others. It goes without saying, but a quick reminder, if you bring pets, you need to clean up after them.
4. SURVEYS: We are posting a link on the NYOA Socials and the website after each round this year to gather timely feedback to pass on to the promoters and the board. We are seeing maybe 8-10% participation in these surveys. They are quick and simple to fill out. Please consider taking a few minutes after each event to share your thoughts. Riders, spectators and workers are all encouraged to take the surveys.
5. Make sure if you are registering at the track to have all your documents. Especially your AMA number and expiration date. Cell service at some tracks is very limited. It will make it easier on the registration crew. Have patience as we are training new staff.
We have had a great start to the 2023 season! Thank you all for continuing to come out and race with NYOA! We will be back soon to open up registration for ROUND 5, DITCH BANGER!
What a way to celebrate 20 years with Knobby Acres and the Davis Family this weekend! We dodged the rain which seemed impossible as the event started but we are grateful!
1. THANK YOU to the Davis Family, the landowner and the workers! We appreciate all of the organization and work that went into their event. We know preparing for a race with the heat and threat of extreme weather is very stressful and we thank them for their efforts.
2. THANK YOU to the EMS workers and first responders. They were unfortunately very busy on Sunday, and we are so thankful for the care they provide trackside when needed.
3. THANK YOU to our photographers that are out there week after week capturing the memories for the riders and their families! So priceless and we appreciate you all.
4. THANK YOU to our vendors that show up and keep our people running! They couldn't do it without you, and neither could we!
Now we take a brief break. Please take a moment to fill out the survey.
Good luck to our bike riders running the 24 hour race this weekend! We will see you all at
ROUND 5, DITCH BANGER!
What an absolutely incredible weekend for Round 3, Seneca Highlands!
The rain was definitely needed leading up to race day and as you saw and experienced, we still had dust in the fields! It was so great to see you all out there after a bit of a break! We hope you had as much fun as we did.
1.) THANK YOU to Chuck, Linda and the entire Seneca Highlands crew! Your event is always a fan favorite and this year did not disappoint! Also, please congratulate this team as the set the NEW NYOA RECORD OF 1,026 RIDERS on Sunday! Congratulations to Chuck, Linda and crew!
2.) THANK YOU to you all for coming out and spending your time with us at these events! You are the reason we do what we do, and we appreciate you.
3.) THANK YOU to the photographers and videographers that come out to capture memories for our riders! Please support them like, share and purchase from them if you can.
Now it's time to rest up, heal up and fix up those machines. Round 4, Knobby Acres is up next. Enjoy the short break and please take a moment to fill out the survey about Round 3.
May we never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedoms.
ROUND 2: BERKSHIRE HILLS ROUND UP: THANK YOU!
What a weekend we had for Round 2! The weather on Sunday ended up being perfect (a little dust not withstanding) and it was a great day of NYOA racing at Berkshire Hills!
1. THANK YOU to the Hoffmeier Family and their entire Berkshire Hills crew for putting on an amazing event! We appreciate their time and effort and the use of their beautiful piece of property. We know what it takes to pull off these events and we appreciate them and their willingness to host our series!
2. THANK YOU to our incredible riders, spectators and NYOA families! You guys keep us going week after week. We love seeing you out there doing what you love and reading your race reports and seeing your photos. Thank you for continuing to show up and share your weekends with us!
3. THANK YOU to the first responders who attend to our injured riders. We can't thank you enough for being there for the people who need you when they need you.
Now, we have a short break until ROUND 3, SENECA HIGHLANDS. Rest up, prep those machines and get ready for the next one! We will see you all there!

DREAM RIDERS: THANK YOU!
What a way to kick off our 2023 NYOA season! Weather cooperated and it was so nice to get everyone back together for round 1!
A special CONGRATULATIONS to Jim and family for breaking the NYOA rider attendance record this weekend with 1,015 registered participants!!!
1.) THANK YOU to the Steiner Family and the entire DreamRiders crew! The incredibly wet weather leading up to their event had everyone a little nervous, but it ended up being absolutely gorgeous and we heard lots of positive comments on the tracks! Thank you for the many hours spent building trail and laying out such an extensive course for the riders!
2.) THANK YOU to our NYOA team working to get the season underway. From registration, to scoring to our public address team, the sound team and our new team pre-riding the course to look for safety concerns. It truly takes an army to put these events together and we appreciate you all!
3.) THANK YOU to you, the riders and spectators for coming out and making the series what it is! We wouldn't have a series without you. To our long-term members and the many new faces, we saw out there, thank you for spending your time with us!
As you know, there was a serious injury in the adult quad race. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brandon and his family as he recovers. Stay tuned for how you can possibly help.
