sx in domes and on tv can still pull eyeballs to be marketed too, but due to the high prices of bikes and jack shit of nowhere to ride them, our hobby/sport is doomed..... we can not expect the pro side we love to watch so much to get better, it is only gonna be downsizes or eliminated all together...

Hey Rebus, let's just end this because you are a hypocrite liar - proven by your post history.
Do not EVER talk to me on here.
So here's to another 30 years of good reading guys
If MXA could get Ping then that would be a nice addition!
i'm 46 btw
Weisel went wong
MXA does an awesome job with product reviews and bike tests. Most of the products they suggest a racer should change are genuine improvements. Can you enjoy riding or racing that particular bike without that mod ?? Of course you can but it is an improvement if you choose to follow the advice. Does that help their advertisers....sometimes for sure. If you like everything the AMA is doing then don't read Jody's rants about the AMA or YouthStream.
RacerX does an incredible job with Loretta's coverage, person insight stuff, amateur coverage and lifestyle. I think the amateur coverage is the heartbeat of the sport. PLUS.........DC posts here and answers questions for most of you. Where else will you find that ??? UMMM...nowhere.
TransWorld appeals to a different group (I am old) but has some really cool features and some hip industry guys.
Dirt Rider does a great job with the off road stuff and has some very interesting adventure articles.
The point is that they all have a stake in the game and I believe want good things to happen for the sport. They all have a point they want to make or cover.....that is fine. Enjoy the read, think it through and maybe disagree with the point but at least think. Read everything with an eye toward the writers agenda and it all becomes much easier to digest.
Why wouldn't a publication want to help it's advertisers sell products ??
GuyB, maybe an article sometime that includes interviews with a few national promoters and what they have to do leading up to the event and on event weekend ?? .
A very well known promoter told me this " For months leading up to the event you are pushing a boulder up a long hill, then the event starts and the boulder is rolling down the backside of the hill and you can't do anything to stop it".
I've been reading MXA off and on since 1977. I had a 20-year absence from MX, and did not read or watch anything related to moto (too painful). I was pleasantly surprised back in 2012 when I picked up my first MXA since 1992 and found it to be a lot like I remembered. Jody's Box has always been a favorite, and I do think they put their "all" into the bike tests. I'm starting to like Basher's bit quite a bunch too. He's been especially good, in my opinion, the last couple of issues.
Pit Row
Jody gets it when it comes to bringing back entry level and affordable bikes.
Regarding But really at this point the GP riders themselves deserve more respect for their speed.. I think the respect level goes up every year at the MXoN.
Good stuff.
I think their in depth bike tests and product evaluations are better than the rest. I believe
they speak the truth and it offends people. I don't care about freestyle and race coverage because of
the the internet. Jody is a scholar of mx and mxa has the best test riders. Mxa also seems to have more knowledge
about bike maintenance and repair. I love hot chicks but thats not going to make me buy a worthless mag.
Mxa sets the standard imo and is my mx bible. I've been reading mxa since '76.
Jody is in his late 60s and I would guess that the Publisher Roland Hinz is at least that old if not older. I'm really curious how things will evolve over there in the coming years. Will Basher, Stapleton and Ecklund make it more contemporary or continue to cater to the "mature" crowd? Is the wrecking crew taking resumes? Should be interesting as Jody breaks the seven decade mark and moves further away from the action sport demographic.
