PALO ALTO, Calif (July 10, 2009) - AMA Pro Racing and XTRM Sports Network are proud to announce that XTRM AMA Pro Supermoto Series racers have been invited to take part in the prime time ESPN X Games Supermoto race on ABC Live, Saturday August 1st at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California. The top 10 in the AMA Pro Supermoto Championship points chase after the third round held at the South Pointe Casino in Las Vegas, will be seeded in as invitees to this prestigious annual event, joining 10 other invited stars from Flat Track, Road Racing, Motocross and Freestyle to round out a twenty man field in a head to head, bar banging international Supermoto ‘Throw Down'!

The series will seed the top six in points from the Premier Class and the top two in points from both the 250cc Lites Class and the Open Class big bore bikes. The new proposed track layout will consists of the usual asphalt track used by the Rally Cars and for the first time, a much modified dirt section in the Stadium that is more like a Dirt track TT layout than a Supercross track. For the first time this guarantees more diverse international competition from more racing disciplines, with closer, fiercer and faster spectacular racing for ABC's cameras and the huge national audience it draws!
