The 2018 Motocross of Nations will take place on October 6-7, 2018 at Redbud MX, one of the most storied tracks in the history of American pro motocross. RedBud MX is located in Buchanan, Michigan. Mr. Sipes will be outfitted in custom gear from Leatt's new 2019 line during the event.

"Racing in the Motocross of Nations is a dream come true and a once in a lifetime opportunity," stated Ryan Sipes. "To be on a team with Travis Pastrana and Kevin Windham, two of the best riders to ever throw a leg over a motorcycle is incredible. The custom set of gear that Leatt created for me fits exactly the way I like it and it looks great too. One thing is certain: we are going to have fun."

Team Puerto Rico will be raising funds through direct donations and merchandise sales during the event. A portion of the proceeds from merchandise sales will be donated to select Puerto Rican organizations designed to provide support to people in need.
