I have alot more reapect for the guys who are not top 5 or even 10. Especially Grant, i can relate to what he's hoing through with his mom. Wow the show is amazing!
Is anyone EVER going to do something about it? For F&@^# sake!!
And yea, I feel for grant! What kind of parent would do that to their kid? Man, I think I'm gonna steer my 3 yr old in another direction!
This is just like any other sport, the promoters line their pockets on the backs of these riders! It suxs that as rich as these promoters are getting they can't give back just a little to these guys!

I can't stay away from riding; what I;ve told my son is to concentrate on a business within the Industry so you don't have to be kicked around like a piece of trash! After tonights show, he was so upset; he was crying. He said " he doesn't think he can do it!"; I said, well what have I been telling you, YOU CANNOT pretend that you're going to be the next Dungey or whoever.
Realistically, who wants a career with SUCH LITTLE appreciation from the Industry! God damn it makes me sick!!!
if anyone has a link or some source to watch it PLEASE POST IT!!
All of the other sports do it with results BUT motocross and SX are the ONLY ones that TRULY NEED IT!!
Pit Row
Can't wait to hear what kind of numbers ($) some of the families have spent in the coming episodes. If they made it to the pro level, I'm expecting to see numbers exceeding $300,000.
Damn....I love this sport so much......but completely hate how it throws it's riders into a fiery pit when they are done with them. Very , very brutal sport.....and not just on the body.
This sport struggled for decades trying lure corporate money into the mix.
It finally arrived and big moneys result always has an UGLY side to it.
Like they say...be careful for what you wish for!
This is a snap shot of why us old schoolers just LOVE the days of yesteryear.
When more folks were in it for the love of it & were plain purist.
He and his kids, kids are pretty much dialed for life when all is said and done....and for that i give him a huge "Good Onya Mate!!"
Chad Reed is a supercross and motorcross racing champion with a net worth of $60 million. Chad Reed earned his net worth through his accomplishments in supercross and motorcross racing, as well as his development and help with funding of the Super-X, the new Australian Supercross Championships. He was born in Kurri Kurri, Australia.
this sport needs corporate dollars to invest in a future. kids wont continue to strive for the ultimate goal of professional racing if they can at least make $28k being a security guard at victorias secret (which in some cases would have better benefits...). Theres an enormous chunk of pro riders that wish they made $28k a year.
and its more than just the riders, its the entire industry that needs the support. I can say first hand from being involved for as long as I have that there is very little money coming in to this industry, from the local dealer level all the way toonline communities to magazines. Do you remember the Loco-MX bankruptcy? it was pretty intense, and the dollars they flooded in to publications like rxi and twmx had to have been a major loss.
this sport needs Subway to come back. We need a HOME DEPOT branded team. We need McDonalds to sponsor Freestone or Thunder Valley or wherever. Or we will start to succumb toGlen Helen GP level crowds (remember all the advertising and massive crowds and American riders? neither do I)
The past always pesents a fond memory. Some of my favorites are riding my XR 80 with my dad on country trails. Do I want to go back to that realistically? Hell no, have you ridden a 2010+ bike? Thyre all incredible. Time to move forward.
When people talk all the time about other athletes make?
I think crosby (nhl) made somewhere around 100 million! Idk i don't find it a big deal at all
