“The last couple of days have been busier than usual” Director of Operations Gary Turrell told us. “We’ve been flipping from hockey to concert, then we had to move the stage to make the other concert work, then we went back to hockey for a day, before finally setting up for the motorcross event. This was all in a matter of three to four days.”
Turrell has been Director of Operations for over 20 years now and still encounters new challenges on a weekly basis. For example, Turrell was surprised to realize that the FMX World Tour, which is a motorcross event, did not need any dirt on the surface. “I always assumed that we would have a ton of dirt on there, but we actually don’t. They cover some parts with carpet, they have inflatable ramps and those guys do everything just like that. It’s actually pretty amazing.”
FMX World Tour brought the heat today at Budweiser Gardens! 🔥 Top notch talent from all around Canada and the US gave an incredible show! Thank you to all the pro riders who came out and brought their A game 💯🤝

After a tough and grueling week, Turrell is proud of the way his staff got the job done. “Obviously setting things up like this isn’t easy, it’s been a tough week for us but we have a great team over here and everyone knocked it out of the park. We always keep everything running smoothly.”
