Dirt Shack is a dream shared by two individuals who live, breathe and build MX, BMX & MTB tracks for a living. Over the last few years Rob Wareham and Chris Rose have been searching for a suitable building to create an Indoor Motocross, BMX and MTB facility. Trying to find an existing building that's big enough, in a location which would suit this kind of proposal and on budget which would make th

is dream financially viable has been impossible. Buildings the size needed are around 150K - 200K in rent per year + business rates which doesn't make it a financially viable business. This is why we want to build a purpose built facility to eliminate the rental costs and make it work. We have 2 acres of land next to the existing motocross track of Rocket World in South Somerset but gaining funds to construct the building suitable from a planning perspective and an adequate size have proven very difficult. Although we have some great people already involved in this project we are aiming to raise the extra funds needed for the building through crowdfunding. We aim to raise the money for the build by selling rides, memberships and advertising up front through a crowd funding website. We haven't set a target yet as we are still waiting on a few things, but we aim to have the crowd funding page ready to go live in 3 weeks time. Imagine how awesome it would be to be able to ride 365 days a year! With your help we aim to make that happen! Any questions or ideas we'd love to hear them - Either contact through Facebook or email [email protected].

Massive thanks to everyone who pledged and supported the crowdfunding bid. Although we fell massively short, it attracted a lot of interest and some new options to get this project going which we will update you on soon. For everyone who pledged to buy rides up front - we will be holding a ride day and BBQ on the arenacross track in June, we will announce a date at the end of may. Thanks for your support.

A massive thank you to everyone who has pledged so far. Out of 35 backers we have raised £14,000. A couple of people have asked why they should give their money to fund someone else's business - we are simply asking you to buy your rides up front like you would a race meeting to help get this going.

Although we have received donations from people who are not riders or fans of motocross, we are specifically aiming at people who would ride an indoor arena cross track. Our reward based system means even the lowest pledge of £45 gives you a days riding and a Dirt Shack t-shirt (A day pass will usually be £40) The more money you can pledge in return for rides, membership and merchandise the more value for money you get. We have sold two lifetime memberships - one to a veteran rider and one was bought by a father of 65cc rider, this membership offers 30 days riding per year for life - that's a lot of value for money.

We are just trying to do something positive for motocross in the UK. Creating somewhere for amateurs and professionals to ride year round with no noise or weather issues can only be a good thing for everyone. It will also be a good platform for youth riders to flourish and help push more British riders onto the world stage in the future.

If you have any questions, get in contact!

Thanks for the support, The Dirt Shack team.

Unfortunately we have had to delay the crowdfunding launch due to technical issues with the website. It's really frustrating but as you can appreciate everything needs to be perfect before we go live. We'll keep you posted but we aim to go live on Wednesday the 25th. Thanks, The Dirt Shack team.
