Big Argument. Who gives up their dates as Outdoors stays 12 rounds.
Use technology, allow people to receive a live stream from their favor riders gopro/helmet cam.
If I want to follow roczen around from gate drop to checkers, allow his signal to go out and charge extra like 10$ but don't do a 50$ ride along pass or some dumb shit. Invest in signal amplifires so the feed went get too out of whack. Give the fan more interactivity and not a fucking text this number line for whatever… allow different vendors to sell stuff in the pits. Have a rig that allows a fan walk through, so see what the inside of a factory rig looks like, provide a walk through with a bike cut away. Etc, engage the fan.. And dont just let them watch, because you will lose fans to what holds their attention engages them more… for moto, if you don't ride you have a hard time understanding and that is a major crux of the issues you see.
What do you really get for your price of admission?
- decent races
- expensive food
- maybe a autograph
- crappy not wanted fan merch.
- expensive water
The only improvement for the actual racing would be to make the classes smaller capacity. There are only a few freaks who can ride a 450 @ 100%. Seems there are 20 dudes who can wring a 250 or smaller.

DC, how hard would this be to implement?
Riders coming off a hectic SX season with some injured, so not at their best or not racing at all
One rider hitting their prime form (and perhaps the bike being more suited to National than SX?) and dominating
Riders getting injured early in the Nationals
None of which DC can influence....just enjoy what we get
Since not all of the models are available in two stroke configuration, this would be a significant hurdle.
It's not DC's fault if you can't party and raise hell like back in the day. Blame society as a whole for becoming too soft. Insurance is also part of the anti fun problem. Only solution for the hellraisers would be a time machine.
I would also suggest less double jumps. Jumps limits the speed differences that can occur before, during and after the double. I dont think it was a coincidence that Soutwick was the most exciting race of 16 and there were no double jumps.
People these days can't handle not being entertained every fucken second!!
I'm with changing the displacements though cause it's just not that exciting to watch guys burr burr burr buurruur around a track.. That brings the expenditure up though
If only there was a cheaper more exciting option to ride haha
We need more parity with the riders above all.
Not sure how to fix that.
Bigger purse?
More privateer support?
2 strokes?
?????
Pit Row
Ticket prices? Not bad imo. Have you went to concert lately...holy crap, that's expensive!
But my point is in SX and MX the racing sucks towards the end of the year because there's no incentive.
Hell, one of the top 5 450 riders fell in rut right in front of us at the Ironman and wasn't even in a hurry to get up.
Very seldom is there any kind of a points battle, especially in the 450's. which is supposedly the "premier class".
This is just the opposite of what should happen. The season should end with a bang if possible!
Maybe I'm in the minority. But I go to see the best riders in the world race hard and race for something.
As a life long fan and rider of mx, I also like and watch NASCAR. And if you really watch it, the chase is the best thing they've ever done. Except I would like to see them crown a regular season champ. (which they're considering).
The drivers were racing their asses off all year trying to get that 1 win to lock them in the chase, and the chase races themselves were awesome. Plus the final race was wild as hell.
I'm not saying a chase is the only option to consider, but the sport needs to evolve and needs better racing.
That will cure a lot.
Again, the attendance at the Ironman was down quite a bit this year with perfect weather. Not a good trend.

The last round becomes a 250 / 450 shootout with top 20 in each championship qualifying.
The championship trophy's are awarded at this round, non participation means no championship trophy.
Of corse the trophy for the grand champion can also be awarded, SX and MX combined points.
I understand trying to create a tv image but keeping fans back enough where they are out of view for tv shots, and the crowd is one big blur and race banners are a mile high kills the spirit of outdoor moto. It sucks watching behind a banner, arms shoulder height on a fence, kid is struggling to see anything. It feels too zoo like. Maybe lower the banner heights some. Let the crowd be in shots. Safety for fans is definitely a priority in todays blame game world of insurance but maybe a compromise could be found. Make fenceline viewing more comfortable by creating elevated viewing areas. Have large concert moniters around track showing the race where you can't see that part of track. I love the Nationals and the format, but for improvement there needs to be racier track surfaces with more variation of soils and better viewing for the fans that want to be up close catering less to this smoke and mirrors of stretching the tracks wider for tv(watered,black earth chocolate cake with yellow markers on edges, then grass/buffer zone to large banners). Show moto for what it is.
DC, thanks for your hard work and orchestrating a nationwide series.
I also enjoy the nationals as they currently are. I went to the Ironman this year and I do agree the action was a little stale, but I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Thanks for the hard work DC!
Post a reply to: DC, can we make the Nationals more exciting?
