I'm slowly learning this. I had a wake up call when a kid got hurt bad at a track that got completely redesigned shortly after. I was thinking his injury was all for nothing because of the new lay out, and then I realized that if I got hurt it would all be for nothing because I'm slow and don't even race much any more.

So then I started thinking a street bike would be a good option to get my adrenaline fix. Haha

No. A lot of sports are the same. If you look on a sky sports post at the comments after a premier league game or something you'll see how stupid some people are. I actually think MX has a pretty knowledgeable fan base in comparison to some sports

According to Twitter motocross isn't even a sport so who cares?

It can be a great sport for some and a terrible sport for others. It's just like anything...it's in the way you look at it! Focus on what you don't like about it or focus on what you do like about it!

It really is a pain in the ass to love but when your hooked it becomes really difficult to prioritize anything over it. Just a simple practice session is a big commitment compared to a lot of other hobbies . being a weekend warrior sucks. Consumed by day dreaming about riding all week just to get your stupid 2 days...
This is so relatable

OP forgot:

-Killed off works team machinery/production rule

-Killed off challenging SX tracks and started the boring cookie-cutter rythm-fest

-Killed off mean sounding engines that made the sport and replaced with bikes that sound like riding-mowers/snow-throwers/fart-blowers.

and everything about the coverage sucks now (except the commentators)

Fans have to be seperated because they club each others head in due to the colour of their scarf.

Cyclocross is another one. But here the fans spit and throw cups with pee/beer/other fuilds on/at the riders.

Every time I hear riders on the podium talk, I say to myself, "Yep, this is the stupidest sport on the planet". Tongue
