Unadilla MX in New Berlin, New York has been a fixture of American motocross since 1971. Situated in the rolling hills of central New York State, Unadilla carries a history that spans the entire arc of the sport in America. Racing at Unadilla means racing on ground that legends have crossed for over fifty years.
The Track
Unadilla is known for its hard, unforgiving terrain. The upstate New York soil is clay-based and bakes hard in August heat, producing a track surface that punishes mistakes severely. Falls at Unadilla hurt more than falls at most other tracks — the ground does not give. This reality shapes the riding approach of every competitor.
The track features significant natural elevation change across rolling terrain, with several high-speed downhill sections that test bravery and commitment. The famous "Screw U" section — a tight, technical uphill with multiple line options — is one of the most photographed spots on the entire circuit and a place where significant time can be gained or lost.
"Unadilla is one of those tracks that has its own personality. It demands respect. You don't attack Unadilla — you have a conversation with it."
