Valentino Rossi is a legend. At 33 years old, he's one of the most successful motorcyclists on the planet, with the Italian racer racking up nine world championships and considered one of the most talented humans on two wheels.

So what does Rossi do with his off time? He keeps riding, naturally, and built a track within spitting distance of his home in Tavullia, Italy to enjoy with a few of his racing cohorts.

The track is an odd mixture of concrete and dirt, with a hard base and a gravel top for power-sliding, opposite-lock antics. And Rossi finally let a film crew join him, Supermoto World Champion Thomas Chareyre, and road-racer Guy Martin for a mid-afternoon track battle.
