and I mean you would expect the AMA to stand up for the riders and members, but of course, we all know they won't do that,
If you want to make dirt bikes greater than ever just figure a way to ctrl c crtl v the European (Spain, England, Germany, Italy) soccer business model.

The riders profits have a cap!
Reducing the rent by 2 days would quadruple the purse money ! Maybe an area to look at, not really for the factory riders but for sure it would support the privateers !
If every rider qualifies for the night show gets his $250 back circa 10k per round.
Paying positions in the top 20 would be fairly scaled like below.
20 250
19 500
18 750
17 1000
16 1250
15 1500
14 2000
13 2500
12 3000
11 3500
10 4250
9 5000
8 5750
7 6500
6 7250
5 8000
4 9000
3 10000
2 11500
1 13000
Purse money for a round would be $106500 for the 450,s
Say half for 250 class and total per round is $159750 or $2,715,750 per annum prize money. 250,s no entry fee as it’s a feeder class/regional and to support the main show.
Potentially achievable but again you would need to be consistently top 10 in the 450 class to have an income of 75k ish to pay your own way including a few bikes, maintenance and travel.
All assuming 20k for 2 bikes, 30k for expenses and around 15k parts/rebuild budget. No mechanic and a contingency fund of 5k for unknowns. The remaining 5k for for RV maintenance. That would maybe cover a top 10 rider with very little support.
If you are good enough to qualify for SX odds are you aren't paying consumer prices for anything except, food, gas, hotels etc. I know B level woods guys who get tires for 80% off retail no way a guy good enough to have a pro card is paying retail for anything bike related.
Don't get me wrong I'm against privateers just stating my opinion on the costs. I think all the riders should get more money regardless of what the costs are or are not. These guys have skills that 98% of the population do not, they risk there lives to do this and should be paid better from Feld.
I'm not normally that way inclined, although I don't get how people fire up about shit like that but also wanna call police, ambulances and fire-bashers when they need it. But I digress....
Seriously though, as if Roczen needs that. He probably made 100K bonuses from that 2nd place, and his salary is what, 5M over 3 years or some shit? But if it went to Lamay? How many more races or hotels can Gardner make if he gets 16K?
When you're making fuck all, it's nice to know how much fuck all you're making.
It's time they let riders sell their own merchandise.
Pit Row
track/stands supporting that purse:
who in the fuck are you to say how much anyone is allowed to make?
--
obviously the purses are crazy out of whack, there are options to help with this situation.
sitting around and debating what a company is allowed to make is not one such option.
between james and tickle, it's clear that's the best place to bury someone and maybe never hear from them again-----at the very least they'll be irrelevant by the time they're released by wada or usada or w/e
THAT'D be the perfect place to put away any union trouble maker

That's almost as funny as the guy above thinking that the AMA should look out for the racers best interests.
