Happy Wednesday! This week we are continuing on with our small business series, where we talk about dirt bike related companies right here in the Pittsburgh area. Today we are featuring Switchback MX, a riding park located in Butler, PA.

Switchback MX is located about 50 minutes north of Pittsburgh. It is a unique riding park because it features a motocross track, a hare scramble/woods area and to top it all off- an indoor arena! They are open year-round and offer group rentals and annual passes. The 47,000 square foot indoor arena is a great option for riding during the snowy Pennsylvania winter! Of course, we support places that offer a designated space for riding dirt bikes. It's great to have this option so close to home.

Renting the track is another great option for getting some practice in on your dirt bike or ATV. The prices are as follows according to the website:

• 2 hours is $300 for up to 8 riders
• 3 hours is $475 for up to 10 riders 
• 4 hours is $600 for up to 12 riders 

Grab your dirt bike buddies, split the cost of the rental, and hit the track to have fun! You can call 724-496-1850 to schedule.

Switchback also hosts races throughout the year. The next special race event is the Summer GP race on August 17th. It includes the outdoor track as well as an all new woods loop with single track. 

They also have events such as the Yamaha demo taking place on August 17th and 18th. Yamaha will be bringing bikes for everyone to test out on a special track, including:

• TTR 50
• TTR 110
• YZ 65
