The Conondale Classic is set to return later this month for riders of all ages and experience levels as a motorcycle hall of famer rides in for the event.
Jeff Leisk will make the trip to Green Park, which is considered one of the best natural terrain moto parks in Australia.
Leisk, who in 1988 won the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc classes at the Australian MX Championships, was the first Australian to win a 500cc MX GP in Finland in 1993, made it to multiple supercross podiums, won the Paris Supercross in 1990 and came second the World Supercross in 1990, will be among the hundreds of riders at the event.

Leisk said he was looking forward to making the trip north and experiencing all the event had to offer across three days of action from June 11.
"The main reason of why I'm going is to have a great time and I know I will," he said.
"I've made a lot of friends over a long period of time and I don't think there is anything better than hanging out with your mates and riding dirtbikes."
This year's event will be the second time it has been held at the Green Park venue.
"It's a great venue, great atmosphere and you get to share it with your mates and the people you've known for quite some time," Leisk said.
The event will include dirt bike riding, buying and selling of bikes, food and bar stalls, live music, five riding tracks and giveaways.
The vintage event is a non-competition, recreational ride so participants can ride as many or as little laps as they like.
Leisk said there was something for everyone.
"To go and just ride bikes around for a few days that is obviously cool and fun but when you can get a carnival type event where there is a lot of angles ... it makes it a lot more interesting for everybody," he said.
TeamMoto Kawasaki Maroochydore and TeamMoto Yamaha Sunshine Coast will be onsite all weekend.
Camping is available on Friday and Saturday nights with hot showers and facilities available for all participants.
The event is hosted by the Sunshine Coast Motorcycle Club and sanctioned by Motorcycling Queensland.
