Welcome to THE DIRTY WEEKEND AHEAD, presented by Fullnoise.com.au, our weekly look at the events and riders that will be in action throughout the coming weekend.

From International Events and Races that Australians and even our New Zealand friends are competing in, to national events and even a list of as many local state events we can find.

NATIONAL

2013 MONSTER ENERGY MX NATIONALS ROUND 6 - Appin:

<b>THE DIRTY WEEKEND AHEAD</b> 13th and 14th of July

Serco Yamaha's Luke Styke leads the MX2 class in to the second half of the season

Australia's top Motocross racers are back in action this week as the second half of the Australian motocross championship kicks off in Appin, New South Wales. Todd Waters narrowly leads the way in the MX1 class ahead of a fast charging Matt Moss and a consistent Billy Mackenzie.

In the MX2 class it is Serco Yamaha's Luke Styke who has a big lead, with Josh Cachia his nearest rival after the loss of Luke Clout for the rest of the series due to a broken Femur last weekend while practising.

This weekend will also see the MXD class line up as well as the Two Stroke Machines for another round of the KTM Two Stroke Cup

Ever wanted to get as much riding in as possible in one weekend, why not enter the 24 hour race in S.A! One rider, 24 hours straight!

The 2013 Swan Insurance reliability trial kicks off on Saturday in South Australia, with riders set to ride for 24 hours straight, putting in four 200Km loops consisting of trail and times test sections.

It is one of the worlds toughest and longest running races.
