The world’s premier wheelchair motocross athletes will converge in North Texas on Thursday, April 23, and Sunday, April 24, at Alliance Skate Park in Grand Prairie. This two-day event features WCMX Competitors from around the World competing for cash, prizes, and the WCMX World Championship 2016 Title.

The 2016 WCMX World Championship will have something for everyone. This family entertainment event will provide the most amazing wheelchair maneuvers ever performed by WCMX riders from around the globe. The event also features an Adaptive Skate Competition Division. If you don’t know how to WCMX, don’t worry anyone can learn how through the Beginners Clinic. The clinic is free for anyone with a physical disability that participates in their own wheelchair. Participants of the clinic will be instructed by the best WMCX Professional Riders in the world and will test their skills on the Pro ramp course and be assigned 1-2 volunteers who will assist, spot and encourage riders and skaters. If riders are unable to push their own wheelchairs, volunteers will navigate them through the course. All safety pads and helmets will be provided by RISE Adaptive Sports.
