Do you ride a supermoto and wish you could have all those glorious jumps without having to deal with the dirt section? The answer is only a plane flight away.

Last week, we shared a video of on a supermoto. The comments section showed me that our community of readers is a wild mix of riders, from people who race supermoto to those who had never seen it until the post last week. The comments section also blessed us with this:

This all-asphalt track in Pleven, Bulgaria, is the home of the FIM Supermoto of Nations - but somehow only every other year or so... I think. The track doesn’t have any sort of website (the lists the as the website) and, somehow, even their is completely devoid of pictures of all of those beautiful paved jumps.

WHY AREN’T THESE THINGS EVERYWHERE?!

Apparently, has a few paved jumps, and there seems to be a track in Italy somewhere that is similar, but I CAN’T STOP LOOKING AT FLIGHTS TO BULGARIA.

Okay, okay. I’m calm. And I’m sorry. People always ask how supermotos can be so good on dirt with their slick tires, but the answer is that they really aren’t. They’re light enough, and site like a dirtbike enough, that people just learn to make it work despite not having nearly the traction or control that comes from a motocross bike.

At , the track I normally ride, a lot of the guys leave in the afternoon once they open the dirt section because they don’t like the dirt section or having to clean their bikes every week. I thought that sounded pretty embarassing until I took my DR-Z recently and spent three hours the next day trying to clean red dirt out of every orifice of the bike. If I were riding there weekly, I’d be the same UNLESS I WAS AT A TRACK WITH PAVED JUMPS!

The only real negatives here are that a) Bulgaria is far and b) crashing on paved jumps has to hurt something fierce.

Everyone can thank for this wonderful video.
