Western Pennsylvania facility centered on a 47,000 sq ft indoor arenacross-style track (pro-built by Shane Schaefer) that is smooth and forgiving yet still technical, enabling all-weather, year-round riding.

Roughly 72 acres of woods hold about two miles of GNCC-style trail for off-road and trail riders.

A strong year-round Pittsburgh-area base for practice, racing, and clinics, with structured sessions and a dedicated youth track for families.

What riders say

Switchback MX (2469 William Flynn Highway, Butler, PA) is Western Pennsylvania's premier year-round motocross facility, built to serve everyone from mini riders to pros. Its signature feature is a 47,000-square-foot indoor arenacross-style practice and race facility, designed by professional track builder Shane Schaefer, which gives Pittsburgh-area riders a true all-weather, year-round place to ride no matter the season. Riders praise the indoor track as smooth and forgiving enough for newer riders while still offering plenty of challenge for experienced racers.

Beyond the indoor building, the property packs in two distinct outdoor tracks, an MX track and an endurocross track, plus a dedicated mini-bike and pit-bike track, so families and mixed-ability groups can all ride at once. For trail and off-road riders, there are roughly 72 acres of woods with about two miles of GNCC-style trails.

The experience earns consistent praise for its welcoming, well-run atmosphere. Staff are repeatedly singled out as friendly and genuinely helpful, and busy practice days are organized into structured group sessions so riders get clean track time. With its combination of indoor and outdoor options, structured sessions, and a strong reputation, Switchback MX stands out as a top destination in the region.
