Look at any series in Motorsport outside of F1 on a world level, and nobody goes ... all in front of 1 man and his dog.
If this series doesnt fill the stadium it will quickly die.

Regarding how successful the series will be, remember the market for World SX isn't necessarily hard core fans like us Vitards but for families having a night out with noise, fireworks and friends. As long as there is competitive racing, these non hardcore fans won't care if the top riders are racing AMA SX and second tier are racing World SX. The rest of us will tune in online since we're addicts.
lostboy posted some MXGP racers will make the transition to World SX but that remains to be seen. I don't share his opinion since the manufacturers and teams determine who races where. And it would be great for everyone to chill before thinking a new series that hasn't even started is going to remake the sport.
Alta had 75 million and where are they at today?

Maybe they can get Alessio Chiodi to ride!
Why turn MX into a reality show for the great unwashed masses, like nascar?
They haven’t even announced a legit concrete schedule yet, and it’s starting in 3 months lol. Take it easy on changing the “remaking the sport” take.
We're mid-june, close to half of the teams and almost all riders are still unknown, there most likely won't be any of the top SX racers, the schedule and locations have already been moved around quite a bit, there's a major lack of local promoters -which were supposed to fight to get a race...
For now, it reminds me of that old Shakira song, whenever, wherever...
As far as for older racers, it would be a nice cushy landing spot for guys like Tomac but it would also be a great place for a rookie to start his career after Lorettas. The biggest question mark for most kids is how they will handle Anaheim 1 and Supercross. What better way to get used to the bright lights and tight confines than to actually race a SX series without all the firepower that the AMA series has. If I was a team manager I would rather have my rookie racing 8 sx races rather than the last 4 outdoor nationals. If it changes the sport or if it crashes and burns it will be interesting to watch and I'll never complain about more racing.
Meanwhile, I know the exact date for Paris SX, I know in which stadium it takes place, I know I'm gonna watch Tomac and the Lawrence Bros -and probably a few more top SX guys- so I guess I'm not gonna rush to book a flight and hotel to TBA on TBA to watch TBA race against TBA.

I swear I heard that he was involved. If you're right, I stand corrected.

I'm looking forward to SX, Pro Motocross, WSX and an improved Arenacross series. More jobs more teams more Saturdays watching moto.
...and I'm not a Ken hater for the record.
If Roczen is the only "top tier" guy in this series, the title is his. Which is why I stated "sand bagged title" in the other thread.
Just a silly thing to say, if you mean more of his career is behind him than in front of him you could say that about every rookie in the 450 class. By the time you figure out all the time in 250 and the years at Lorrettas and such there is more in the rearview than in front of you.
I don't know why guys can't just admit that maybe they judged this a bit prematurely and maybe they are wrong.
