SX of Nations race to be held 1 week after the SLC season finale. location somewhere USA (europe gets one race every 12 years, in france).

Track must have at least one dragons back and one full whoop lane.

See how many countries show up. Call out the no-shows as pussies. Unironically tell Herlings he is no longer the FMOTP. Shame all euro riders because they cannot skim whoops.

Bask in the glory.

All proceeds go to Ken Feld and his CEO daughters.

For me americans are all about proving they are the best and trying until they achieve it and not giving up. Something this year's team did, fighting until the end.

Not about loser mentality to set up an event exclusively just for you to win it.

Fortunately there are still riders out there willing to put in the work and give it a go until inevitably the top step of the podium is theirs.

The solution to what?

The US lost a mud race. So did most of the other countries who went. No shame in the performance and no surprise really that the dutch were so strong.

Well, I could say that your SXoN would be a great big belly flop, worse than this years MXoN times 10..

Please don't take this as the "common" theme from the USA. A noisy minority.

I love SX and more racing.

I don't think it solves any problem.

The rest of the world has raised their game, the USA is still a valid competitor and if they hit the podium again it is something to celebrate versus an "expected" victory at a "SXoN".

Alternating every year and gradually increasing technicality of the tracks to grow the rest of the world on SX while keeping the pride of the MXoN would be cool, but until everyone else has a large roster of talented SX riders to make it interesting, it'd be only a few riders fighting for the top and wouldn't be very meaningful. Though, it wouldn't be too hard for France to compete straight out of the box and they can do it in both disciplines.

We are hands down the best at supercross and easily on par with the euros on most outdoor tracks. In sand or mud the euros have the upper hand. So? We can't be better at everything all the time. That's just not possible anymore. We have to just fight hard and do the best we can when the conditions are the type where the euros have the edge. Considering the conditions this weekend, our guys did well and showed that without the bad luck they had, they could have fought for a spot on the podium. There's not much more that we can expect from our guys.

France wouldn't be far off in a SXdN either. Musquin, Ferrandis, and Paulin would be a pretty handy team.

not sure how good it would be to watch anyway,
there would only be 3 full strength teams, (USA, Frahe, Australia) maybe Germany would be the other country that could field a decent team

and with 7 teams to make a final (if you kept the same 3 moto format, (2 riders per team in each race)

and the speed difference would be worse than it is at the mxdn,

I knew there would be the "but we are superior at SX" threads as soon as i open Vital this morning.
Every year it`s the same (lame) discussion.

Get over it. Your team didn't win, just like 32 other teams this year.

The USA won't ever be the best in everything they enter. Just accept that other countries may be able to be on top too. Even if that differs from what you have been told all your life...

I smell provocation 😄

But what if US wouldn't win? Yeah, but come to race FMX and you would all be crushed!

Bout time supercross went to different places around the world. How many countries does the Supercross “world championships” go to again ?

A US SX round in Europe could be cool.

That's true and all but aside from the setting up an event Americans can win stuff, a sxon would be amazing to spectate.

How about just Red Bull inviting their athletes to Red Bull Straight Rhythm? These guys are all off now. I would love to see Prado, Herlings, the Hoff, and Cairoli line up out there. Not Supercross, no turns, just good 'ol Merican fun!
