The 11th Annual Mx des States event is rapidly approaching and is to be held February 15, 2025 at the famed Waldo MX Park in Waldo, FL. This year, we have amazing support from Sun Sports Cycle & Watercraft and GSD² Racing who both stepped up big to be the Co-Title Sponsor and Haagen Paws as our Gold sponsors. Lastly, All Cycles as our 2024-25 season Title sponsor. The Mx des States event is a team event with a variety of classes. In addition to the team classes (3 per team), this year we have added a couple individual (non team) classes.
How the team format works and scoring. If you're familiar with the Mx of Nations (Mx des Nations) it's similar to that but with a twist. With our Mx des States, the team consists of 3 riders and all 3 will be on the track at the same time in the same moto. There will be two motos. The riders will be scored independently and then the individual scores will be combined to give us the Team scores. For example, if your team members finish 2nd, 5th and 8th that would give your team a total of 15 points. Both motos will be added up and the team with the lowest score total after two motos will win the overall. In years past, we had teams from 12 different states which makes this a competitive and fun event.
This years 11th Annual MX des States classes include:
3 Wheeler Classes.
Yes, that’s right, those 3 wheel machines from the 80’s are here. Don’t be fooled as these guys will be bringing the heat and providing plenty of great entertainment. There will be a Pro Class, Amateur Class and a 200x Class. All 3 classes will have a cash payout which is sure to step up the race intensity.
GP Classes
For the first time ever, GP classes has been added to the Mx des States event. GP classes will mix Waldo’s motocross track with their professionally laid out woods course. These will be longer duration motos since each lap time will be approximately 6-8 minutes long. Do you have what it takes to excel on the track as well as in the woods?

RULES for the MX des States Event:
Vintage team class:
This includes most all 1974-older bikes and 1975 bikes that are a “like design” (see below a list of “like design” bikes). This is a open skill level class. The main concern with this class is suspension travel. Having newer components are allowed for safety reasons but the amount of travel allowed is limited to 7” in front and 4” in the rear. We are not going to put a tape measure to every bike but if it doesn’t pass the eye test then it will be measured. There will be tech inspection for the vintage bikes so please don't show up with bikes that do not qualify.
The 1975 “like design” bikes include:
Bultaco 250 Pursang
Can Am 125 TNT
Can Am 175 TNT
Can Am 250 TNT
CZ 250 Falta
Honda CR125
Honda MT250
Husqvarna 250 WR
Husqvarna 400 WR
Kawasaki KX125
Kawasaki KX250 (also ’76)
Kawasaki KX400 (also ’76)

Yamaha YZ 125

* Some makes and models in 1974-75 had a limited number of machines with suspension specifications that surpassed the 4" / 7" norm. Those bikes are NOT eligible unless the suspension travel is reduced to fit within the rules. Regardless of the year, make and model of your bike the suspension requirements must be within our rules. Some of these bikes include '74 Bultaco, '74 Montesa, '74 CCM and '74 KTM.
Post Vintage team class:
Watercooled and disc brakes are ok up to 1989 but MUST be conventional forks (no upside down forks). This is a open skill level class.
Modern and 50+ team classes:
There is no limitation to bikes used in these classes. Run what you brung. The Modern team class and 50+ team are open skill level classes.
2-Stroke individual class:
Any c.c. bike eligible but must be 2-stroke engine. The 2-stroke individual class is categorized into 3 skill levels (A, B and C). Plaques will be awarded to the top 3 of each skill level.
60+ individual class:
Any c.c. and year bike is eligible. The only requirement is that you are 60 years old or higher. This class is categorized into 3 skill levels (A, B and C). Plaques will be awarded to the top 3 of each skill level.
Misc.
- For team classes, if one of your teammates does not complete 1 lap, you will be scored as "Did not Start" (DNS) and will be given 40 points for that rider's result. If you complete at least one lap but no other then you will be scored last place points.
- If you have a bike failure during one of your motos you will be able to use another bike for the next moto as long as it's within bike rules and scoring staff has been notified.
