What is a controversial Moto-related opinion you have?

I miss Ralph and Emig, flame on

Pala does not belong on the national schedule

Musquin is totally overrated.

There should be no C class at Lorettas. You don't need a novice national champ.

Small, tight and cookie cutter SX are a rip off. Not enough field room, not enough dirt? Then don't race there.

There should be a “Past-Champions” provisional for Supercross. For example, if Dungey, Villo, McGrath, Stewart or Reed wanted to show up for a one-off race, the fans should get to enjoy watching them in the main event. If Webb had a bad night in the heats and LCQ, he should still advance to the main event. There could be a cap of only 2 or 3 past-champion provisionals per event.

Most vet guys would be just as fast and might have more fun with a regular 250F instead of a factory edition 450.

There should only be 12 SX rounds. The 250 Class should be a full time series like the 450 Class. Bring back the 125 SX regional series. No factory teams, only amateur support (i.e. Team Green, Orange Brigade, etc...) so it's an actual privateer class.

Mikkola was better than DeCoster

Racing doesn't need sanctioning bodies.

Pastrana was faster than Stew and RC (only one the total package).

250 Supercross is a just an extension of Amateur racing where guys try to not to have to race each other.

MODERN RIDERS DONT WANT TO PROGRESS!

In the 80s & 90s everybody wanted to be better!
Score your points and upgrade to the higher ranks as quickly as you could. Even if that meant finishing last in your new category.

These days, ‘sandbagging’ to stay down so they can remain at the sharp end of the lower category. They’ll stay in the lower category for years!

WTF is up with these pussies??

Hydro clutches suck...

No feel.... more complicated.... there are no upsides to a hydro clutch.... yet everyone thinks they want one because ktm pushed them on the market.....

You don't need any amateur national champions at all for that matter....

PRO RACING ISNT ABOUT WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS!

It’s about selling bikes/gear/parts.

A rider doesn’t need to contest a championship to be ‘financially viable’

For instance, lift ET3 straight off the line of AMA SX, ship him to MXGP and the eyes of the world will be on him, his bike/gear/parts.
One race, then ship him to Oz, or GB, then back to AMA SX… then back to a random MXGP.. you get the picture..

Give him his money required, get more exposure than him running away with the SX championship.

Most people don't actually want cheaper basic model bikes.

Supercross night show should only feature points paying races.

1. Amateur Racing needs a revamp. IMO super fast kids with support need to race some sort of A class, Maybe an age limited A class. I just think its a bit ridiculous for kids in B class to have identical lap times to the kids in A. Its something that baffles me. Not to mention them having factory support. I understand not wanting to throw kids out there with grown men (hence age limited A class).

1b. C class needs to go (on the national level), it screws up local racing so bad. Because nobody wants to move up because they want to go to Loretta's. here in the south east at the races I've been to you are either A or C, nobody races B. if they do there will be 3 people racing max. meanwhile C and D have a 25 man gates.

2. the current amateur racing format is ridiculous. The whole signing up for multiple classes thing needs to go. Everyone needs to be racing 1 class and running long motos. Every other sport in the world somewhat represents what the pros do (format wise) except for moto. think how ridiculous if you where to take your kid to a rec basketball game and they played 1 period at 10 am, another at 1 pm, and so on. there would be outrage

The promoters in our sport do the worst job at accommodating the racers and there is no good reason for it. local promoters just squander in their own sorrow when they have poor turnouts, and think that people just want to ride or woods racing promoter have some sort of advantage instead of looking in the mirror.

Stop Ripping tracks. Unidirt sucks

Stiff boots are the reason knee injuries, particularly ACL injuries, have been so common in the modern era. The same thing happened to skiing when the leather Nordic style ski boots were replaced by the rigid shell modern alpine boots. Knee injuries were uncommon, but are now a cost of doing business for any long time skier.

The recent knee brace debate made it clear that knee safety and protection is a salient topic for riders in the lowly vet C ranks all the way to the elite levels of the sport, and no one has a clear understanding of the benefits or negatives of prophylactic knee bracing. All the while, riders are binding the entire structure of the foot and ankle into a makeshift walking cast (I’m looking squarely at you, tech 10). Furthermore, most ACL injuries do not involve any direct impact to the knee itself but rather the lower leg striking an object or getting stuck in an unnatural position in the ground. Knee injuries start at the foot, and binding the foot has shown to translate more energy to the knee in studies of other sports (I believe University of Vermont keeps a specific database on knee injuries in skiing and the causal relationship is clear), but here we are continuing to stiffen, overbuild and overweigh our boots while scratching our heads about why our knees are failing us.

It’s okay if all kids get a trophy. The winner gets the big trophy. Nothing wrong with a kid feeling good, everyone knows who won. It’s supposed to be fun at their age.

Ummm…. NO it’s not !

Shimoda is PCs best chance to win a title in 22

Correct! Gold, silver and bronze in amateur racing. Want a trophy, pass the guy in front of you!

Pro racing, get rid of permanent numbers. Run what you earned the year before.

Increase purse payout for the stars of the “show”

Equalize the bikes from Factory to privateer. Going as fast as you can with what you have available will produce better racing.

Allow riders to sell merch

Get rid of 450’s

On, and on…

Sick of hearing this get rid of 450 s CRAP ., the past 3 season s in the US and mxgp have been some of the best motocross and supercross racing ever . Yet every 5 mins on vital someone is saying get rid of 450s . How the hell can u look at SX , AMA Outdoors and especially MXGP this year and say " aw 450 racing is crap the bike s just doesn't provide good racing " .

Why anyone cares what brand of gear a rider is wearing. It scream teenage girl drama. I watch to see the best compete. I couldn't care less what brand of gear a guy is wearing.

Bikes are too damn expensive these days...

That's a fact tho.

Get rid of the start gates in sx . Have a grid start , picked by a superpoll . It would get rid of a wide start straight , so you could add an extra lane on the track which would increase lap times
