What's your preference?
1) both series as they stand
2) A longer motocross season without supercross
3) A shortened supercross series and a longer outdoor series

In other words, that would be number 3.
With the outdoors it is difficult to find a track that has a spot where you can see everything, so you pick the best spot to give the most. However we get longer lap times and the chance for our favorite riders to make moves and catch the front, unlike in SX very rarely can someone come from the back and still take the win.
I like them both and am happy to have both, in no way would I want to see SX leave, though I would like to have less injuries that knock out so many riders each season.

Don't mind Supercross but Motocross is by FAR my favourite of the two.
You can't blame those that had the talent and negotiating power to get supercross only contracts.
Supercross is the star attraction sponsorship wise and it plays a big role in who gets factory contracts.
If a rider could get the big bucks to race supercross only and only have to race five months out of the year who could blame them.
The outdoor series will probably always appeal more to the core of motocross fans though.
Oh crap! Uh, mmmmm, Davey, move along, you didn't read that. Just a dream, time to wake up. Ha, Ha, that was a good joke, eh.
Motocross is less boring to watch instead of Supercross imo.
Also I like motocross tracks better than supercross track when riding
Would love racing to be more MX races, and less SX (stoked now there is MXGP to follow from next week). Its that time now in the SX season where it seems like the same thing over and over, and I'm more just praying nobody else gets injured so we can have a stacked field going into the first outdoors race.
Pit Row
I don't really have a preference anymore, sx or mx, because they each have pluses (I'm talking about as motorcycle-racing competitions---I couldn't give much less of a fuck about seating and refreshments). BUT: there's not really anywhere else for MX to go, but if SX ever reaches its potential, look out, yo.
If I could change anything, I'd like to see the SX season a couple rounds shorter, and more of a break (1 month?) in between SX and MX. This isn't just for the riders or teams, this is from a fan/market perspective. After 17 weeks of SX in a row, I will honestly admit that I'm a little over it as far as launching into watching MX just a couple weeks later.
Do any other professional sports go pretty much nonstop for nine months a year?
