Sponsorship dollars could take a hit:

Predictably, the energy drink space continues to consolidate, which will increasingly reduce the pool of potential sponsorship dollars from this sector. Will be interesting to see what the end game is for Rockstar, the company. For those at work who cannot view the link, Rockstar has hired the banksters at Goldman-Sacks to look for a shill, er, uh, pansy, er, uh, potential buyer for the company.

This sport is fucked without them.
Did anyone else see the giant boobs at the bottom of the page?
The Shop
That paragraph from the Reuters article makes it seem as if some action NEEDS to be taken, not just somebody that is bored and wants to move on to new ventures.
Selling debt?
I don't see this market just disappearing over night. It my taper off soon and stay t a lower level with only a few key players (Red Bull, Monster, Rockstar) while the lower key companies (DNA, ARMA) fall by the wayside. The demand for this product is high, it has a solid consumer base, and it has marketing like no other current industry. You can argue that economic times will hinder it, but has long has people are buying cigarettes at 4-6 dollars a pack, they will buy energy drinks, because a share of the market are buying both in the same purchase at the gas station.
OK, Mr Sepkovic, it is time for you to find the next big corporate sponsor!
Out with the old,in with the new.
None of those industries are going to lose out by not sponsoring moto.
All of those can get as much or more of the same exact audience in other sports/activities.
Heres one. Remember Giant RV. They are gone.
How many wakeboard boats did they sell by having a boat at the SX?
They arent selling bikes, so maybe they are selling boats?
Pit Row
All positive feedback helps.
We have brands like V and Mother here in Australia that wouldn't know what motocross is and I guarantee they'll get stomped by Monster over the next few years.
I say move women's mx to sundays too, piggy back the Nationals on with the SX's, people sponsor moto for the SX coverage, you want sx coverage? sponsor outdoors. Until people realize that the Nationals are core we are screwed, without MX there is no SX, where would you get your talent from?
Other extreme sports are way bigger than this sport.
