Which matters to you more?

The Outdoors does very little to grow the sport of mx. There are not very many races, in obscure areas, with little to no marketing locally or on tv, the TV package is much harder for someone to locate and follow. The participants don't make very much money on average.

SX on the other hand are in way bigger markets (woah Texas Stadium?) advertises more, has an easier tv package to follow and the participants make more money on average.

The main people who are into the outdoors are already into moto, how does that help the motorcycle industry expand? (Motorcycle sales are important to businesses selling motorcycles)

Most people are NEVER going to ride either sx or the outdoors.

Which series you want to survive only has to do with which perspective your looking at it from.

Well said. This talk about more supercross and less outdoors lately absolutely infuriates me. I don't know what I'll do. Can't say I'd turn my back on the sport, because it's all I've known, but that would be a very sad day and the resentment I would have toward Feld and SX may just be the end of me really giving a shit about pro racing.

Edit: Meant to quote TBteam.

Would you feel the same way about watching MXGP races if the GP guys disguised themselves with AMA numbers and bike graphics on US tracks?

I used to rank the US nationals first then SX and last MXGP.

This have changed for me. I find the GPs the most interesting, especially since the 450 class is incredibly stacked with the wide open 250 class. And the EMX classes are also very interesting and fun the watch.

And the tracks are never the same. Different riders are better at certain races in the GPs because of the large variation of track layouts and dirt.


And the GPs provide by far the best viewing package with MXGP-TV. 129€ for all GP races, EMX races and MXdN. That is called bang for the buck.

Last year my buddy and I drove from Green Bay, WI to PA for the High Point National. We were up by 6:00 and at the track before the crew even showed up. We literally walked right in because nobody was at the gate. Don't worry, we had our tickets already! There is nothing better than getting to the track in the morning and seeing everything look absolutely perfect with a layer of fog hovering over the track. That 5 minutes alone when you get to the track is better than any supercross race in it's entirety. Screw Supercross.

Loose Supercross and then you could add a lot more tracks to the Outdoors like WW Motocross Park in Jacksonville, Florida and others. WW Motocross Park is a very nice facility, with a very nice staff, and most of all an awesome well groomed track.

I have found that the GP series has interested me way more since Villopoto competed. This still only compels me to check race results, and then passively watch the races on TV.

Still, this is not a series that I will go off the grid for to keep everything 'fresh' for the broadcast. I want my boy Gajser to win, and I even attended Charlotte in 2016; but, even with 'my boy' winning the last two seasons, I do not see the GP championship more interesting than Tomac winning the last two supercross races.

If motocross dies, there is no supercross. Can't say the same for the other way around.

There will always be grass roots motocross in the USA but most riders want to go from MX tracks to SX tracks as they get better. The nationals may die way down but local MX will always be around. I would much rather ride on a MX track but I like watching SX better than the nationals.

Simply put, which series ranks higher in your opinion, SX or Outdoors? Say FELD/AMA comes out and decides to abolish one series entirely and it's left to us to vote on which one we want to keep. Which series gets your vote and why?
