Breaking news:World’s Largest Eco-Friendly Motocross Track Opens in Nevada Desert, Boasting Solar-Powered Jumps, AI-Controlled Safety Drones, and a 12-Mile Loop That Can Be Transformed Into a Floating Track for Amphibious Dirt Bikes by 2026……
In what’s being hailed as a revolutionary leap for extreme sports and sustainable recreation, the world’s first eco-conscious, AI-integrated motocross megatrack officially opened this weekend in the heart of Nevada’s high desert. Known as “Vortex Ridge MX Complex”, the $300 million facility sprawls across 8,000 acres and features cutting-edge design elements never before seen in motocross history.
The massive complex, developed by tech-mogul-turned-racing-enthusiast Devin Slade, combines adrenaline-fueled racing with green technology. Its main attraction: a 12-mile main loop track engineered to mimic natural terrain variations, with jump heights ranging from beginner-friendly 3-foot rollers to competition-grade 40-foot tabletop jumps—all powered by solar hydraulics that adjust in real time based on weather, rider skill level, and race settings.
“Our goal wasn’t just to build the biggest motocross track in the world,” Slade said at the grand opening, “It was to build the smartest, greenest, and most adaptive track on the planet. We’re setting the standard for what motorsports can look like in the future.”
One of the most talked-about features is the facility’s integration of AI-controlled safety drones. These high-speed autonomous drones fly overhead during all events, monitoring rider vitals via embedded sensors, scanning for crashes, and delivering immediate visual and verbal assistance within seconds of any incident. In test runs, response time from drone deployment to incident arrival was clocked at just 4.2 seconds.
Even more surreal is the facility’s “Aquacross Future Loop,” a yet-to-be-unveiled expansion scheduled for 2026. Slade hinted that it will transform parts of the desert track into a floating route using modular hydro-track technology, allowing riders on prototype amphibious dirt bikes to race over water. While the bikes are still in early testing, the company claims they’ll be powered by lightweight hydrogen-electric hybrid engines.
Riders from across the globe have already begun flocking to the site. Pro racer and YouTube personality Jenna “Jet Blaze” Torres described it as “like riding through a science fiction movie—but with roost.” Even seasoned veterans have expressed awe at the seamless integration of safety tech, track design, and the sheer scope of the operation.
Local officials, once skeptical about the environmental impact of such a large-scale project, now praise it as a model of clean recreation. Over 80% of the facility’s power is generated by on-site solar farms, and all water used in the dust suppression system is recycled via atmospheric water generators.
In addition to hosting amateur and pro events, Vortex Ridge will also launch the MX Innovators Academy, a training program for young riders focused not just on skills, but on sustainability, STEM applications in sports, and injury prevention through smart gear.
“This isn’t just the future of motocross,” Slade added, “It’s the future of sports, period.”
The facility is now open to the public, with full access memberships starting at $499 per year and limited day passes available for as low as $25. Weekend events are already sold out through August.
