I guess im on an island of one but I for one HATE SX mudders! Whats the point? To see who can flounder around and paddle their feet the least? As a fan are you getting to see a SX race?...No

Example: Darryl King won a SX mudder

Sure it will shake up the points and maybe you see an anomoly rise up and win....does that really matter when a 15th place guy wins and never sniffs the front again? There is no SX skill involved in riding a sloppy mud race for the most part and you could see a series heavy hitter fall out of the title chase at the very beginning of the year, how is that a good thing?

A lot of teams are even riding their practice bikes because to them, its not worth destroying a fully prepped race bike, SX is not Endurocross and to me its not at all exciting to think any rider may fall way out of the points chase due to a DNF in the mud....look at the big letdown that was the Musquin/Martin final 2 moto battle that never was thanks to a faulty fuel pump.

For what its worth im not trying to project myself as bitter and despise mud races but they really dont serve a purpose in SX in my opinion, fans dont show up etc...just my thoughts on the subject im not wholeheartedly disagreeing with any of you as I have been riding for 32 of my 37 years on this earth and have never liked this shit show that is a mud race.....Flame on if you must just wanted to post my thoughts on mudders in SX....and by mudders I dont mean a semi-muddy track with ruts that can still be ridden at 75% im talking about the feet off the pegs bikes sliding, no jumping bikes quitting kind of mud race it appears A1 2016 could turn out to be.

I'd rather see a SX race in perfect conditions than a mudder for sure, but I'd rather see a mudder than not see a race at all. What do you suggest they do? Not race if it rains? That would be really lame, riding in the mud is part of the sport. It shakes things up and it gives an opportunity for some to get a result they might not usually be capable of. I'm looking forward to A1 rain or shine
