About this tour
When Noah from our team rolled out to Perth Motocross Academy, we found a genuinely well-run operation that lets you pick a bike that fits your skill level—from 50cc learner models up to 230cc beasts—and tear into 300 hectares of trails and circuits. Set 25 minutes from the CBD, the academy takes kids from age 8 upward, beginners get proper instruction to build confidence, and all the protective gear is sorted. Sessions range from a quick 1-hour blast to a full day of riding, and you leave with photos and video of your run. It's the real deal if you're keen to actually learn how to handle a dirt bike, not just pose on one.
Highlights
- Bike range from 50cc to 230cc means size suits the rider, not the other way
- 300 hectares of proper trails and circuits to explore at your own pace
- Full safety kit included; no hidden gear-hire costs creeping up
- Professional instruction for beginners eases you into the sport properly
- Photo and video package captures your actual riding, not a staged shot
- Close to Perth CBD; minimal faffing with travel time
- Clear pricing tiers: 1, 2, 4 hours, or all-day options available
What to expect
Noah showed up early and was matched with a 110cc bike suited to his experience. The academy staff ran through safety and bike controls methodically—no rushed five-minute spiel. The trails weren't manicured park tracks; they're proper off-road terrain with ruts, elevation changes, and sections that genuinely challenge you. You ride independently once you've got the hang of it, but instructors are nearby if things go sideways. The circuit sessions give you smoother ground to build speed and technique, while the trail sections keep your heart rate up with real obstacles. A 2-hour session flies by; 4 hours lets you explore the full property and actually get comfortable on the bike rather than just surviving it.
The pace is set by you, so whether you're tentative or confident, there's no pressure to keep up with a group. Weather hits hard in Perth—we did ours in spring and the sun was relentless—so morning slots are smarter than afternoon blasts.

Good to know
If you've wanted to try motocross but thought you needed to own a bike or join a club first, this removes that barrier entirely. The equipment is properly maintained, the instruction is solid, and the location is genuinely convenient. Kids get a genuine taste of the sport in a safe setting. Half or full days mean you're not rushed.
This is physically demanding—not a gentle amble. Spinal issues, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health are real contraindications, not just liability waffle. You'll need to supply your own long pants and long sleeves underneath the gear, which sounds simple but matters in Perth heat; cotton will soak through and chafe. Transport to the academy is on you—no shuttle service. You sign a waiver before starting, which is standard but worth reading. Peak times (weekends, school holidays) get busy. Beginners sometimes feel self-conscious early on, though the instructors handle nerves well.
Book the session length that matches your fitness and curiosity level. Bring water, sunscreen, and proper riding clothes. Groups vary; you might ride solo or with a few others. Most sessions run 8am starts, which is sensible given the heat.
