Western Australian Trevor Holm has finally been inducted into the AMX History Legends section, honoured for his extraordinary contribution to Australian motocross during the 1980s and 1990s.

While many legends earn their place on the racetrack, Trevor’s impact came from behind the scenes — through vision, leadership, marketing brilliance and an ability to turn ambitious dreams into reality.

Trevor was the driving force and event manager behind two of the most significant motocross achievements in Australian history: the rise of the legendary Manjimup 15000 international motocross event throughout the 1980s, and Australia’s historic hosting of the 1992 Motocross of Nations (MXoN).

Remarkably, Trevor was never even a motorcycle enthusiast growing up.  

Raised in the Wheatbelt town of Bruce Rock before moving to Perth to build a career with Australia Post, Trevor would spend 43 years with the organisation — his entire working life — eventually becoming WA State Marketing and Sales Manager.

His connection to motocross began through family ties with the Cutts family and the Manjimup Motor Cycle Club during the 1960s. Despite living in Perth, Trevor became the club’s representative on the WA Motorcycling Association committee around 1968, a position he would hold for approximately 25 years.

As the sport began dreaming bigger in the late 1970s, Trevor brought with him something motocross had rarely experienced at that level — elite expertise in management, marketing, promotion and strategic planning.

When the Manjimup MCC committed to launching the Manjimup 15000 in 1980, Trevor became the architect behind its success. From its inception through to 1991, he helped transform the event from a bold regional idea into one of the world’s most respected international motocross meetings.
