I can’t say for US, but in the UK we’ve attracted quite an undesirable crew.
Fighting, swearing, disrespecting, stealing, weed smoking (in the pits) (don’t have a problem with it away from the track) wheelie boys- the list sadly goes on.
Thirty years ago it was very different.
And supercross stays as is, since everyone finishes in America the euros can choose to ride SX season if they like.

I was faster 🤣
Stop promoting Supercross as if it were a Monster Truck Rally.
Or at least make Daytona an E/W race.

They are all learning the same things and training the same ways. Their bikes are setup for them and they ride them without knowing how to actually setup a bike. They all ride together doing lap after lap but never truly learn proper technique.
Look at how better the guys ride who didn’t grow up in a facility ride, Roczen, Tomac and the Lawrence brothers all grew up racing and all have so much better technique. Vohland didn’t grow up in a facility and has fantastic style and is a great racer because he grew up racing every weekend.
Personally, if I had a young kid that was full of potential, I’d had him in the GP system until he was about 18. Doing 6 laps at Lorettas isn’t teaching anyone anything.
So I guess along with facilities, I’d overhaul our amateur system too.
If people outside the sport understood it better, especially the talent and physical fitness required when compared to other sports, it would (hopefully) get people to develop a respect for MX/SX and view it as an actual sport and not some circus sideshow like monster trucks.
So why do I give a shit how outsiders view MX/SX? Because I think if people see it as a sport on a similar playing field with other sports, meaning they have developed a respect for the riders and view them as legitimate athletes, interest and viewership will go up which results in sponsor dollars flowing in which results in guys getting paid, teams not shutting down, and positive changes that benefit everyone. Maybe if more people viewed it as a sport, they would push to shut down MX tracks as hard as they push to shut down soccer fields or baseball fields(not very hard).
In summary, I was just using physical fitness as a way to relate to outsiders in an effort to grow the sport and hopefully help teams stay afloat, privateers get paid, tracks stay open etc. Not everyone has ridden a motorcycle, so they can’t relate. But they have gone to gym class, so I think fitness is a possible angle.
Now, it’ll never happen, but this question was hypothetical.
Pit Row
Structure can be the enemy, as well as the guide
Think all the stuff JS7 developed on his own would've been as big an edge if everyone else around him was developing the same techniques simultaneously?
1 - Equal Displacement
2 - For some manufacturer, I don't care who, to offer a cheap (3-4K} 125 to bring more people into the sport. It doesn't have to be the most advanced bike ever made, just decent suspension, and reliable. Something that would fly out of stores, and promoters would have to build classes around.
3 - Bring back a short Trans AMA series in the fall. Just 3 to 4 races at classic tracks. MXGP guys vs AMA.
4 - I'd love to see an American who is near the top of the sport in AMA run the MXGP's. Not someone who can't get a ride here, or is in the twilight of their career.
5 - Lastly a return to more natural outdoor tracks. leave the supercross style jumps indoors.
2. There should be a 125 pro class for riders transitioning from minis to big bikes. A125 pro class would give them the opportunity to race at a pro level without the pro- injuries.
3. Cost: a new bike is over $10000. Not including suzuki
4. More places to ride (esp in ny) lol
