How is that not a fair comparison? X games is (or at least used to be) the Olympics of action sports, and MXoN is the Olympics of moto. Seems like a solid comparison to me.

23 years running now. No global participation? I guess I didn't know that ausies and euro's didn't count as global participation... And I know there are more than just them

Japan, Brazil, New Zealand, I’m sure there’s more but it’s open to anyone around the world.

Sometimes I imagine this rock half the guys here live under must be quite a sight to behold. . .

Ya know, looking at it that way, why even run races?
Kinda old hat it very well may be.
You guys might be right .
Heck with anything the average guy can actually do or relate to.
Let's all just watch a few pop some unreal tricks,
jump out of 4th story buildings, you know, like the latest video game, the new gnar.

Just curious, what did you think when the Metal Mulisha, Etc was in the X games doing their antics in the 90's? Was that something you wanted "influencing the public perception of the Moto community?" I don't see Ronnie being worse really........
