Before the gates drop and the motos begin, Hangtown opens its doors for press day — and the first laps on fresh, prepped track give us an early look at what Round 2 of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross season has in store.

Press Day at Hangtown

Press day is a unique window into the world of professional motocross. The track is at its most pristine, the atmosphere is relaxed compared to race day, and riders are finding their rhythm on a surface that has not yet seen the punishment of full motos. It is the calm before the storm — and it is the perfect time to take in the layout, the lines, and the speed of the 2026 field at one of the most storied venues on the AMA Pro Motocross calendar.

Watch the first laps from Hangtown press day in the video above and get a feel for what race day is going to look like at Round 2.

Hangtown Before the Chaos

There is something special about seeing a legendary track like Hangtown in its cleanest condition. The lines are wide open, the jumps are freshly shaped, and the dirt is as good as it is going to get all weekend. Press day laps are fast, smooth, and give riders a chance to dial in their settings before the intensity of race day takes over.
