It’s a high-stakes test of a rider’s ability to navigate a powerful machine through incredibly tight and complex courses. Participants, Motorcycle rodeos originated as a competitive event for police motor officers to hone and demonstrate their riding proficiency through precision, control, and skill-based exercises. These events involve intricate slow-speed obstacle courses designed to simulate real-world challenges, emphasizing safety, control, and advanced maneuvering.  These events have proven extremely effective in improving ones skill and training level as police motor officer rank within the 2% of all motorcycle riders in the world for skill and precision riding.

The use of motorcycles in police departments dates back to the early 1900’s and as more departments adopted motor units, informal competitions between officers emerged to test skills and promote safe riding. Police departments began formalizing these competitions as part of training events and public demonstrations in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. These events became known as “police rodeos” or “motor rodeos” drawing from the rodeo-style competition formats. Over time major events such as the North American Motor Officers Association (NAMOA) Rodeo and Southeast Police Motorcycle Rodeos became fixtures. Over time civilians and retired officers were included in exhibition or open divisions promoting community involvement.
