I got this idea from IWreckALot
"IWreckALot wrote: I wish we could make a list of things a majority of riders and/or fans want fixed and then prioritize that list. I have a feeling the numbering system would be relatively low on that list. Although it's a legit topic for discussion. I just think if we're going to ask for fixes, I'd rather go for a more significant fix."
Post here what you guys think is wrong with the sport and is worthy of change. I'll update the OP with the serious ones...
So far from reading these threads lately I'll start with....
1. Numbering system
2. Rider purse money (250 specifically)
3. Press not asking the hard question (ie. why the hell doesn't Josh Hill thank Ricky in public)
4.
5.
6.
GO....

The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Free shipping: VITALMX
I like grass roots no BS racing as much as the next guy but everyone was pushing for live TV coverage and are still pushing for more money for the little guys and more big teams so top notch talent isn't just roaming the streets of So Cal taking selfies with guns and such.....
I don't wanna see the sport turn all NASCAR either but we can't have it both ways. What is a good compromise?
Bring more/different dirt into the stadiums?
Parents trying to get rich through kids
Shorter Motos
Less racing
Retard fans who don't know anything
Glamor boys (everybody used to ride like Bam Bam, but fight afterwards)
Robot interviews (kissing trophy girls and drinking a beer was normal)
Pit Row
TIMED PRACTICE - The only thing more stupid than over grooming. It forces the riders to ride the fast line during practice, thus insuring a one-lined racetrack. They used to place haybales on the insides, or in the good line during practice, to create more lines. Motocross is about racing, not just who can do one lap fast. I would like to see a return to Sunday qualifiers for the Nationals.
DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT RULE - enough said
As for what's wrong... MX is perfect, but If I'm not mistaken, I think SX was invented to bring MX to the masses. If the goal is to make it more appealing to everyone, I actually think it needs to be "pussified" some more.
I always kind of dug the head-to-head races at the McGrath Open. It's easy for everyone (chicks) to follow when it's only two laps and there's a clear battle going on. It felt more similar to stick-and-ball sports. Imagine if football plays lasted 20 minutes and there were 10 footballs, because that's how SX is now.
whenever sx is on foxsprts2..its a kind of a hassel to watch for some reason.
why go from georgia to indy to flordia to Michigan? why not go flordia to Georgia to indy to Michigan...it would save a lot of fuel costs...
have 1 main event in motorcross..
start a open class...
Oh, and I think Feld has to go...its time supercross is promoted as a professional motorsport rather than a "show". And that won't happen until Feld is gone...
