I'm serious...........what is the problem?? Just because Dung wrapped title up with consistency as main rivals knocked themselves out early or several times???
Live TV................most rounds have good or exceptional attendance............is Monster complaining or Feld???
Seriously don't understand what the problems really are aside from the usual one of really no cash below top 10 guys

Not trying to bash you, but sometimes when I read comments about someone complaining about this or that, you don't see a solution.
What would hold your attention for the full season? I think the main problem is that we're the "core crowd" and what would make things more interesting for us, doesn't work for the "common crowd". The one thing that would hold more people's attention is keeping the points closer. But the problem with that is you'd have to handicap the top guys to make it possible for the rest of the field to catch up. It's not a real preferential solution.
I don't have any problem with suggesting improvements but don't suggest short sighted solutions. I think the points reset is a really short sighted solution BTW.

My problem with the tracks is that i feel like they are all the same. Motocross is so much more interesting with the different tracks.
I love the Outdoors also.
Pay a percentage of the door to the riders based on year end points.
ask nascar.
within 10 seconds of fast time in each class to race.
Or make it 8 seconds within fast time.
The ones left to race get all the money.
Moose turned 1:08's in Vegas... There were riders in the 1:40 range... 32 seconds a lap slower.
If it only makes 20 riders so be it, Road to supercross did this.
Day heats had full gates mostly and more talent made it to 7pm imo.
The powers seemed to make it hard on the privateer,sticking them in the corner,not letting a vehicle in,so bike gear and toolbox were scattered.
I think the change was to make the pits look better but also sent a lot of good riders away.
I can make it about 3 laps before I go organize my sock drawer. In general, I'm not much of a spectator though.
Pit Row
Complainers always complain..about everything.
Supercross kicks azz
All the tracks are essentially the same with little to differentiate them other than Daytona - even that is now watered down. Zero imagination.
The TV coverage is OK, if you've never swung a leg over a dirt bike, otherwise the commentary and use of time (read, the Social Media BS) is terrible.
Point structure is stale.
The series is too long. Make it 12 rounds and give these guys some time off.
Oh, first ever post, finally registered to the Vital Circus.
With a 20-lap main, a guy that is half a second faster per lap has a 10-second lead at the end.
Three ten-lap mains is a good one. Yes, it takes away the physical training aspect but Supercross is not an endurance sport. Nobody comes to a SX to marvel over the rider's physical endurance. I don't think any event that takes 15 minutes can qualify as an endurance sport.
They come for tight racing, daredevil jumping and aggressive riding.
Most races are over after 5-10 laps. I could count the number of last lap battles on one hand over the last five years.
Also, structure it so it's mathematically impossible to win with three races left. That just turns it into an exhibition race, or someting that feels very much like an exhibition race.
Also, more often than not it screws up the outdoor season by injuring many of the top riders. This year there were really only 2 survivors Dungey and Tomac.
We people with jobs and good incomes tend to focus on others on our level and those higher up.
Below us is a fucking cesspool of ignorance, thug life, and a focus on celebrities instead of family.
But it may be that fans don't realize how hard the title is to win.
Start might be different story.
But the production rule sucks!
You can see the bikes of the pro's and the are most likely on an equal level of your own bike.
At SX it would be for the show, outdoors it will be a plus.
However I agree to another post I get kind of boring after round 10-11 the tracks basically looks the same.
But who cares as long as the people are coming it might be ok.
Bought my tickets for ATL yesterday
