Media interest
Moto-x editor at Trials and Moto-X News (the UK’s leading weekly publication), Graham Milne, said the championship had grown rapidly in the past 3 years, and it was vital in encouraging the girls to participate in the sport:

What is Gmoto-x?
It is a gritty, hard dirt bike competition - it’s on the edge, it’s physically demanding, and relentless. Female racers must really push hard to compete in this traditionally male-dominated sport. Each success results in a confidence boost, but failure is ever present - the slightest mistake can prove decisive in the battle to win.

Gmoto-x – the bikes and the classes.
Moto-x bikes are purpose-built racing machines, designed to cope with tough off-road terrain. ACU rules govern the ages and classes; riders are separated by age and machine size. Each race consists of 3"motos"; point’s won from each moto count towards the final score.

Sponsors 2003
Thank you to our sponsors, your support helps to push us forwards.

ETNIES, the U.S. streetwear sneaker company have agreed to continue to back Gmoto-x as title sponsors for 2003. Etnies UK marketing and events manager Anne Stringer said moto-x was the fastest - growing youth sport in the UK, and Etnies could see the importance of supporting the sport from a grass - roots level. "The Etnies Gmoto-x championship is going to be a gnarly event, which is what Etnies is all about supporting". Etnies US international marketing coordinator Josette Olivera said "thank you for rockin’ it with the girls".
 

FERODO brakes will also continue to sponsor Gmoto-x, 2002 winners will receive product for the 2003 campaign - and the overall winner and her family will be treated to a V.I.P. tour of the World Superbike Series Championship at Silverstone.

The Anton Group Printers will also continue to support the event by supplying printed materials; the 2002 leaflets and the 2001 programmes were fantastic.
