TRACK ACCESS POLICY

Only approved Photographers and Videographers are permitted track and infield access. No other Media are permitted track access.

The following policies apply to Media granted track access privileges:

Media Vests: Media with infield access must wear the vest and credential issued by MX Sports at all times while accessing the infield.

Media Safety Meeting: Media granted track access must attend a mandatory Media Safety Meeting Saturday at 8:00 am in the Media Center, to receive instruction on track crossings, safety expectations, etc. Media vests will be distributed at the Safety Meeting.

Safe Distance: Media track access is limited to those areas where Media can safely capture images without endangering either themselves or event competitors. Accordingly, Media are prohibited from standing in or on the edge of the race track or  “otherwise interfering with the race” and must maintain a safe distance from the designated edge of the track surface at all times.

Start Line: Media are restricted from the area in front of the Start Gate once the Moto Board is displayed. Media are further prohibited from accessing areas directly to the inside or outside of the Start first turn, and once authorized to cross the track in the first turn immediately after the Start, must first ensure that all competitors have successfully left the Start Gate and completed the first turn before crossing the track.

Track Access Map: Media are prohibited from crossing the race course during active competition (including practice) other than at designated media crossing areas. In the unlikely event it is imperative to cross an active or “hot” race track, media are expected to do so only in areas that provide adequate opportunity to safely cross the circuit without impeding the on-track activity and only when safe to do so. Media will be provided with a Media Track Access Map indicating the locations of the designated approved media track crossing areas.

Restricted Areas: Media are prohibited from accessing areas of the track where the course design would place them within areas such as jumps and jump landing zones or where they are unable to continuously see or be seen by oncoming riders.

Interference: Media may not stand in front of or otherwise block any TV camera or sponsor signage. Media are expected at all times to conduct themselves in a safe and professional manner and may not impede in any way the activities of race officials, track workers or TV camera operators.

Outside Assistance: Media are prohibited from signaling, cheering on, or assisting riders from the infield.
