Agreed, man. Any time I mention even names like JM or Reed to my friends/coworkers, they just stare at me like I just committed some taboo or something.

I load my gym, doctor's office and dentist's house o horrors with old , spent MX mags.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the amount of folks that DO KNOW a little about

the sport. Usually they mention "Jerry Magraff" or Travis Pastrana....

Just came from a business meeting and all were talking about some recent football game. Now nothing against football but I finally said, "Hey did you see what happened at the Phoenix Supercross?" Vacant stare. Nothing. Not a damn thing. I wish motorcycle racing was more popular in this country.
Pro Football has been around since the 30's.

Almost all colleges have a football team. (no playoff's though)

Almost every High School has a footbal team. (my son was a running back on his high school team and they won the CIF Southern Section Championship )Woohoo

Almost every city/town has youth football. (Pop Warner, JAAF, etc)

Now ask yourself how many ride dirtbikes and/or motocross.

yea... i knew that, but having two major sporting events going on at the same time in the same city, never bodes well for the 'lesser' sporting event

i thought we decided in previous threads (namely the booing ones) that people who watch supercross.... aren't actually fans of the sport Wink

someone even made a pie chart, so it had to be true lol

just in terms of general coverage, as well as attendance... things wouldn't have been a 'big'

Windham raced in New Orleans one time with a helmet painted to look like the Saints football helmet...somebody else did it in Dallas a while back with a Cowboys "helmet" too

Football = mainstream...motocross (or motorcycles in general) on the fringe...don't see that changing anytime soon....

You're lucky you only got vacant stares...I usually get "the gore story"

Me: I had a great time this past weekend at the Anaheim Supercross race, did you catch it on TV?
Them: Nope...but one time my uncle's brother's cousin was riding his Harley and he got throwed off that thing and went flying through the air and straight into a wood chipper!
