Kind of like the worst things to happen to moto thread but maybe alittle more descriptive?
ill start
TWMX Magazine - It's the motocross version of Dirt Rider..and dirt rider used to be a good magazine..TWMX is for the bro crowd and their articles are written for someone on a 6th grade reading level (the bro crowd) Thank god for MXA and RacerX.
4-strokes - ruining the sport, slowly but surely. stagnating wages, lack of paying jobs and increased cost of living in the US will put a damper on MX unless things turn around. Motocross used to be known as one of the most affordable forms of motor racing but these days you need to be part of the 1% to afford it if you ride a thumper. Mark my word, if things keep going the way they're going SX will be something of the past and MX racing will be more akin to ATVA nationals or the AMA superbike series.
Hardpack dirt - sucks to ride on, isn't fun, hurts when you fall!!
Bratty racer kids - not all moto kids are brats but ive seen enough punk kids at the track and they deserve a serious ass kicking..ungrate disrespectful little shits whose parents hand them everything..i hate punks (ironic because i used to be a punk)
js7 haters - i feel like every james stewart hater i come across hates him because hes black. i cant help but LOL when people talk smack cause he gets 5ths once in awhile. /flamesuit on for this one lol ..derp derp derp

I havent been a member long but ive been reading here daily for about 2 yrs...I was a regular on Freestylemtx (which is like a pat on the back party compared to here) anyways I hope all this racist talk is not the case if so your straight up a waste of air in the society we live in today.
Four strokes are def hurting in my opinion
punkass kids are a result of the internet and if you spank your kid your going to have dfs called on you
and number 6 should read as Creed/ Dicklback
The internet is not going away but the hero worship/fanboy shit has killed off my desire to follow the pro aspect of the sport. I could care less if I ever see a picture of a pro rider again. I love the bike pics and the track pics. They could take the numbers and names off the bikes/riders and nothing would change for me. I watch how they ride and nothing more. The day I stop riding/racing I will stop following the sport.
Even the 2-stroke activists want EFI.
Pit Row
Out of the top 5 that started, how many will ride the final event?
They've always been a part of the sport, but geez, anyone going to be left to run the Nats?
Some of you two stroke taliban people are kidding yourself if you think motocross was inexpensive pre-4 strokes... It's always been expensive... the bike, gear, parts/maintenance, going racing... It's a motorsport - They aren't cheap to participate in. And yea, best TV SX package, best ratings ever, motorcycle sales are up for the first time in 5 years... things are really going downhill.
2. Home Schooling
3. Rednecks /NASCAR fans
4. The Metal Mulisha
5. Injuries
6. Brown nosing. I guess this can be related to the home schooling part too. People are affraid to speak up unless they are behind a keyboard. And if a rider (preferably home schooled) disagrees, the individual with an opinion is flamed and the rider is told how much they love his riding, that he kicks ass etc byt the "crowd". Next day these same individuals can be found flaming the rider and calling him names in a different setting. At times, motocross seems like an all girls high school. When I listen to PulpMX this becomes all to evident. You have guys who disagree on things, and they will act like 14 year old girls in the pits, not talking to each other, refusing to work together in the future. The list goes on forever. The industry should at least act like professionals, but the majority of them don`t either.
Totally impractical I guess but I would love to see it.
6) Sandbaggers
I think 4 strokes cause more injury, but look at the statistics in other sports as well.. Injurys are going up. When the level of competion is being pushed to the edge, injurys will go up.. Just a point to think about..
REMEMBER: Statistics are very easy to manipulate one way or the other.
