Well maybe so Whitey but they call ours a National and it is in Eastern states.

Our Riders pay good prizemoney to themselves though and pay to run the whole series so our riders do their bit.

Some mates here will be gutted to hear about Bris SX. They had a ball last year and planned to go again this year.

Wait wait wait wait wait ..... NO BRISBANE SX THIS YEAR ?!?!?!

Are u f**king kidding me???? It was the best SX ever in Australia - PERIOD - END OF STORY!!!

25,000 spectators - to all the Americans who don't think this is very many, just remember our population is only 20M compared to, what, 200M in USA?

My mates and I went, made it a 3 night boys weekend away, and had an absolute blast. I even bumped into Mike Porra and thanked him for putting on such an awesome event. Man I'd like to 'bump' into him again after hearing this........ Angry

By the way Jackson, Australia will NEVER get a US outdoor National. Besides being outside the US Blink can you imagine the expense and logistics involved to make it happen.

And mate, we don't have tracks here of the caliber of a US National track. Gum Valley (Mackay) is like my home track and is one of the fastest, roughest, most scenic tracks in Australia. It sorts the men from the boys. But it would never compare to a US National track. Most of our tracks are only 1min to 1.30 long - the US riders would get dizzy Dizzy going around in circles all the time

By definition only a world championship can go to Oz.

A national championship can only be held in one country....

Your national championship starts this week doesn't it? will Billy Mac win?

Yep it starts this weekend. Here's my top 5 pick:

1st Jay Marmont
2nd Tye Simmonds
3rd Billy Mac
4th Cody Cooper
5th Cheyne Boyd

It's a stacked class this year for sure. Here's who I couldn't squeeze into my top 5: Andrew McFarlane, Craig Anderson, Todd Waters, Dan McCoy and Dean Ferris. Any one of these guys can easily run top 5. Should be a good year!!!

Brisbane will still run this year.

There has been a bit of huff and puff about the QLD Gov contribution, which is zip by the way, compared to other states who actually contribute.

Our good premier will be so desperate for votes over the next few months that she will be throwing money around and it will happen, trust me Wink

This weekend?

Your national championship starts this week doesn't it? will Billy Mac win?


Really?

Lookin' up the definition of "Grand Prix," a game of snooker comes up.

"Grand Prix" means great prize.

Doesn't mention "global exclusive" anywhere.

Funny how the euros can think outside the box when Toronto comes around,
calling it an "FIM Championship". But mention running a US National
outside the borders and watch the pompous tell us how to be.

"National" meaning one nation. It would be international if it involves more than one nation. Fairly simple really.
