Even when adding the Semi's. Nascar racing is 3-4 hours of constant racing. A baseball game? Football? Nothing starts and stops like our sport.
There needs to be a show, or something when the racing is stopped.
Nuclear cowboys was way more interesting to my two boys than Monster trucks or Supercross. When they get older, it may change but the show is pretty dang good and they can charge $80 a ticket because people will pay it.

It's klassy with a capital K.
If there was just racing and no show, those types wouldn't come back next year. Their marketing doesn't work on me, in fact it makes me roll my eyes and I don't bring my family to the races. But, I'll be back year after year with my friends to watch the racing and they know that.
I am to cheap to spend $80 a seat for a freestyle show. I know others will pay it, it will sell out, just not my bag of tea for the $.
Worked for P T Barnumn though, This way to THE GREAT EGRESS!!!!!!!!
The most popular sports will always be those that a fat dad can do in his back yard with their kids. [not that there is anything wrong with a fat dad mind you.] Most people are watchers not doers in any event.
drink that haterade-vodka and throw the horns high, bro
I apologize for adding to the current level of cognitive dissonance you're experiencing "bro".
And no....it's not the same crowd.
I go to the occasional sx. I'd never go to any freestyle shit with all the white trash there.
Twitch better save his money because when this shit Peters out all that's left is packing shipping boxes for Travis Barker. Same with Hansen.
Big words get one excited eh?
Deegan and Twitch aren't marketing geniuses. Deegan was smart enough to realize that 909 bro will default on their credit cards to buy more bro clothes like 50 dollar t shirts.
Same with Travis Barker.
He didn't realize at the time America was turning into a low rent country that would go broke to be bro.
The people with real wealth cut Deegan his checks.
That and a computer that randomly replaces the cursor around when I'm typing. The Enigma machine inventors would be proud of the gibberish I can produce.
It's called cross promotion using several similar brand platforms.
Wow imagine if Camel or Skoal Bandit came back into SX?,at least you "higher than mightee types" would have something legit to complain about!
i'll stay in my cheap seats where i belong, spilling beer all over the flatbillers in front of me thank you very much.

The Nitro Circus & Nuclear Cowboys thing will go on , but i'd much rather watch Brett Cue busting whips outdoors , than sit it some auditorium .
I wish Feld would promote supercross as a sport rather than as a show...if they did that, sure, maybe some of the bro's would stop buying tickets, but I'm fairly confident that it would attract more hard core racing fans of other genres (road racing, F1, Etc.) which would hopefully fill some of the void left by the "I wanna see some wrecks" fans who don't appreciate the athleticism and skill displayed in our sport...but the sport would be better off in the long fun.
But, what is "real" growth of the sport? Is that attracting fans that just buy a ticket or two once a year and come for the wrecks...or is it attracting fans that will see the show appreciate the athleticism and the racing, and then go buy a bike for themselves and their kid (and all the aftermarket parts and gear and race entry fees that go with it)??? Personally, I'd rather have 1 person that appreciates the sport as a sport, than 10 bro's that buy a ticket to watch a wreck.
It seems moto and supercross put a lot of time and money into "growth" only to turn right around associate themselves with monster trucks...Why do they want growth by appealing to the lowest common denominator of fans? Why don't they think they can grow by appealing to folks that come for the racing (rather than the wrecks)???
Think about it, NASCAR is the farthest thing from supercross and the racing is totally different,. ironicly the most professional looking race is held at a NASCAR Circut.
If I hadn't started riding dirt bikes as a kid and got obsessed with them before I ever saw a SX event I would have been immediately turned off by the way it's promoted with the monster truck announcer voices and trashy hookers. I mean, the girls themselves are fine but can we at least dress them as $20 hookers instead of $5 hookers? For example, compare the Honda girls at last years Daytona SX with the Monster girls ... one is family friendly but nice to look at and add a bit of glamour the other is raunchy and only turns on creepy old guys who haven't discovered the wonders of the internet.
Honestly, if I had a daughter I would probably stop watching SX because it's current promotion basically sends the message that guys are the heroes and girls are only useful for looking pretty and the best way to look pretty is by wearing as little clothing as possible while acting flirty. It's just sad.
Amateur analysis? Yes.
