If ktm had frames that got grooves worn into them from the radiator shrouds like Honda does - you’d never hear the end of how the metals ktm use are junk, and how the fit and finish is so poor.

Meanwhile the fit and finish king Honda has that issue.

Vital is not a good representation of dirtbikers.

Broadcasting the races live suck. The production stinks because it’s rushed and if you go to the races it stinks because it’s rushed for the live tv. It’s a lose/lose.

if they weren’t live then we could probably get more decent tv times, just during the week. The whole thing could be sliced up and not 4 hours long and have much better production. And actually going to the races would be better because it would then be possible for the winners to take their victory lap after the moto and allow all the riders to interact with the fans more. The rushed feeling at the races really sucks and kills the whole vibe imo.

They can always still broadcast live on the internet, just without all the bells and whistles. the diehard people like us will still watch, and guess what; we’ll watch again when it comes on tv later in the week!

Seely doesn't build bikes, he takes them apart and pays other people to put ugly coatings on them.

Supercross was better with Dianna in it, todays tracks are lame, 450's are overpowered for supercross, camel should make a comeback as a sponsor, E bikes will be the death of supercross

Seely is a crybaby... "Sniffling, Dylan didn't ask me for my number 14. I mean, I did win a race and all)

For the record, not knocking his accomplishments. They are awesome, Dylan did more with that number in 1 year than he did his whole career.

New riders/racers act like they have zero appreciation for the sport, no enthusiasm with good results/wins. Nate thrashers win for example. Acts like it was his 20th win.

My unpopular opinion is - KTM Suzuki and Yamaha could sell more bike if they redesigned their front fender - similar to Kawasaki and Honda.

MX tracks are over plowed and groomed. American MX is becoming man made!

I don't like the British invasion of SX announcing. Mow Toe ? Paddock ? Huh ? A Paddock sounds like some kind of fresh water fish. In America we have Pits ! Grinning

Agreed! I’ve never understood why we need a euro announcer here. What’s the medias hard on with them about?

Make everyone ride near stock bikes with limited motor mods. Will see some smaller teams and privateers up front.

The LCQ’s are the best races of the night and the race I look forward to the most (shout out to PulpMX for learning more about the riders and PulpMX fantasy for helping raise the stakes).

Saturday nationals suck for those of us that work in the industry.

Jumps at local tracks don't have to be 8000 ft long. It's an amateur race, you're not riding for team Honda. (I know, spoken like an old guy)

Leave the massive motorhomes home…. Turn the generators off….especially at practice tracks when the parking is already tight…. MX is supposed to be about being outside & dealing with the elements….
