I am actually more interested in learning which ones are under attack to see if we can circle the wagons to help. It is easier to keep a track open than open one up in the 21st century.
-the first scenario would lend itself to kooks getting hurt on tracks they should not be hitting, but whatever..
-the second requires a smart and safe approach to the entire process...(including a strategy to reduce noise, increase safety measures, and try to make it as economical as possible)
The vast majority of classes that line up on race day should be bone stock bikes.
-super mini
-mini
-125
-250 (including 250 2 strokes)
-OPEN
Then repeat with modified bikes.
ROLL SECTIONS STRICTLY ENFORCED in MOST classes. If dear old Dad is having to sack up and hit a rutted up double that somebody built to be scrubbed or be a bottle rocket....well everyone's day ends at the clinic and riding days are farked.
It will make it a lot more fun to watch the experts kill it on amazing bikes and amazing tracks, after a day spent riding fast and hard with no pressure to ride above your head. Better riders will be the end result. PERIOD.
my 2 cents.
And hats off to Rock and guys like him, they are helping the sport. Unless we prefer sharing bogs with quads and want to hear a 450F with no silencer drag racing....
Is VDR trying to keep it going? What has been the biggest challenges? Noise? Rider turnout?
How about a movie script for our sport where MX and off road folks can sign up to be part of a government sponsored disaster recovery plan? When we weren't saving the planet we could be working with Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts to make presentations in schools and inner city schools. At the same time we identify outlets for SX and MX tickets should FELD and MX Sports elect to get involved? And not only pro races we also encourage these youth organizations to come to local races. At a minimum they could collect recyclables for fund raising while check out a new sport. I feel we have an opportunity to represent a way to "disconnect from the Matrix" or if that is too hip for youth organizations we could call it the "unplug and experience the real world" program. Parents are looking for ways to show their kids the world out there beyond their smartphones.
We could get all this positive press that we could barter with for track issues. A guy can dream can't he?
EDIT: Appreciate the kudos Twist1. Thank you. Also appreciate your suggestions. To your point someone I know built an outdoor practice track in Norcal without any jumps with nothing but outdoor obstacles off cambers, ruts, whoops and all types of corners.
I personally think you can incorporate jumps safely (or as safely as possible) on tracks but I like the concept of this guy's outdoor practice track.
That is core....and I am pretty sure he lifts too bro.
We get sold our politicians so why don't we start selling ourselves to communities?
