The Race That Refused to Die
The World Mini Grand Prix is the oldest amateur national-level motocross event in the country. After a few quiet years, we revived it in 2023 alongside our partners at Grassroots MX—and we didn’t come back to play it safe. This year, we’re flipping the script on how a motocross race can be seen, shared, and experienced.
This isn’t just race coverage. It’s a cinematic, creative, cross-medium mashup of moto culture at its most expressive.
Three Realities. One Story.
– Martin Palm built a fully detailed miniature diorama of the Mesquite MX track—an exact replica, handcrafted down to the ruts.
– That same track was recreated inside MX Bikes using aerial drone footage, giving sim racers a playable version of World Mini from the comfort of their rigs.
– And of course, the real race goes down IRL April 17–20, with amateur legends and rising pros battling for their place in the history books.
All three stories unfold through three story-driven episodes, blending IRL footage, digital gameplay, and behind-the-scenes builds—each told through three different voices, each from a different reality.
Why We’re Doing This
Because motocross deserves more than just race coverage. It deserves to be felt, not just watched.
– This is for the kids who dreamed of going pro.
– For the artists and builders who express their love for moto in their own way.
– For the sim racers keeping the spirit alive digitally.
– And for the culture we all share—no matter what path we took.
We want this to inspire, to connect, and yeah—give you goosebumps. If you finish watching and think, “This is what moto should feel like,” then we did our job.
What to Expect
– Episode 1 dropped last week. EP2 and 3 is coming out after World Mini, but we have a BTS style podcast video coming out this week.
– The MX Bikes track will be publicly available for download—yes, you can ride it.
– You’ll find the episodes on Vurbmoto.com, YouTube, and across social channels for Vurb, Martin Palm (follow Martin), and MX Bikes.
This Is Just the Beginning
Blending Realities isn’t just a one-time thing—it’s a statement. About where this culture is going. About what happens when creators from different worlds collide. About building brand equity not through buzzwords, but through execution.

Watch. Share. Ride the track. Tell your friends. And if you feel something? Yeah, that’s the point.
