Brigden, ON, (Friday, July 31, 2015) – Jetwerx International is proud to announce the beginning of a new
chapter in their 15 year Canadian motocross history with the introduction of the Arenacross Tour. This
newly formed project has taken 18 months to produce and is set to launch this September in Canada;
Creating the 2015 Canadian National Arenacross Tour presented by Royal Distributing. It is currently an 8
round Professional Arenacross series, which includes an East and West Amateur National Arenacross
Championship. Pro Arenacross riders compete for a total cash payout of over $60,000. With over 20
Amateur classes race for their share of $25,000 of trophies, prizes and series awards.
“Anticipation is high with this new project,” says Jetwerx CEO Justin Thompson. “We have been involved
in this for a long time having done over 200 events all over the world and having partnered with a variety of
leading industry and corporate brands. I am extremely happy to finally bring this great series to Canada.
With my family here in Canada, it is huge to be racing at home.”
Jetwerx USA is currently based out of the southern USA with the Motosport.com Arenacross Tour where the
series ventures into 7 different states and has a history of over 12 years. “We are excited to have Canadian
sponsors and support step up to help this new series become a great success.” says Thompson. “Our goal
from day one was to try and build a series that will help motocross in Canada from the athlete to the
industry and everything in between. It’s not going to be easy and will take an astronomical amount of effort
in which we are very familiar with. This isn’t about trying to build a new project or compete against another
series, this is simply Jetwerx seeing a way to join the country and branching out on what we already do.”
explains Thompson.
“We are excited to be involved with Jetwerx and the Arenacross Tour,” says Scott Spark President of Royal
Distributing “We look forward to a successful season as the presenting sponsor of the Canadian National

involved during half time with The Marin Bikes Half Time show presented by Royal Distributing.”
