Two competitors clipped at the Motorcycle Racing Club of Victoria event sending one bike into a tree and the other into the crowd.
The 21-year-old rider of the bike that crashed into a tree was flown to The Alfred hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said the Pakenham man suffered chest and rib injuries.
The second rider jumped off his bike before it hurdled into the crowd knocking a 22-year-old man, also from Pakenham, unconscious.
He was also taken to The Alfred hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The crash took place on a private property on Little Yarra Road, Three Bridges hosting the sixth and seventh rounds of the 2015 Yamaha Victorian Off-Road Championships.
It comes less than two months after a man, in his 20s, died in a collision between two riders at the Frankston City Motorcycle Park in Seaford.
