But how does this actually grow the sport?
It appears to be an all out effort to pull things in tighter and protect Feld and MX Sports assets.

There was an opportunity here to actually grow the sport with quality racing across the globe and seperate series that could have coexisted with minimal cooperation and effort by the various promoters. But I guess greed and my series is better than your series wins out yet again.

At least WSX scaring the American series into producing better purses and a decent combined streaming service is a positive.

How can they coexist if they are racing on the same dates? If WSX would have done their series Oct-Dec then they could have coexisted, but they chose to go head to head with outdoor MX and by doing so they are now in the position of only getting French and German journeymen SX racers, retired US racers and journeymen US SX racers....the stars of SX will be staying home now....

If not, however...

I mean, seriously, at this point what does AMA Pro Racing do for Supercross or Motocross, other than provide the rulebook and tell the start girl when to hold up the 30-second board? And couldn't MX Sports or some other interested party do the same?
You forgot fighting to get rid of helmet laws!

You can’t convince me this has been in the works for years and the best name they could come up with is Supermotocross

Meh... In the end we all know some of the US stars will still just pick WSX over the Outdoors and thats it. Its traveling, going to new places, having skills for stadium tracks vs newcomers, global expo$ure, etc...

Exactly, like I said “…could have coexisted with minimal cooperation….”. You honestly think the Global guys never talked to Feld or anyone from MX Sports during their trips to the US for WSX planning? Obviously no agreement could be met and we have the current situation where one series will try to cannibalise the other. There was no series clash planned until next year. Could something different have been negotiated for then? Obviously not now, they’ve both chose to go head to head.

Look it’s clear you’ve been outspoken against WSX from the outset, but you’ve got to look at the perspective of international moto fans; WSX is a rare opportunity for us to see riders in action, that we currently only get to see via a shitty streaming service when it works.

Feld and MX Sports were doing very little to grow the sport, or for the international fan, so they left a void for someone like Global to propose WSX. If that doesn’t work out now, at least it gave the two big American dogs a much needed wake up call.

I can tell you that they came to Anaheim last year only to meet with race teams without Feld knowledge and Feld was not happy about that. I'm all for another series that doesn't compete with existing series as this sport is too small to have that without diminishing the product as a whole. WSX is a great idea for an off season series and they could have many more SX stars for the world to see...but they chose to go head to head and the loser is going to be the fans that want to see the stars of SX. Instead they will get to see racers out of their prime or out of retirement and some privateer journeymen from France, Germany and the US...and I'm sorry for all the fans that will be paying high ticket prices to see that...

We get it, you’re anti WSX. Your replies are super biased and prefer this super duper motorcross 3 race special. Who cares if the “stars” stay home. Half the time the LCQs have the best racing of the night! Good racing is good racing. Do you know how boring it was to watch the stars like McGrath and RC race during the years with no competition. Yawn. Luckily we have a great SX series with new winners but that doesn’t mean big names always equate to good racing.

This just gives the opportunity for foreign fans to see the stars of yesterday and today. All the guys they see on tv they now get to see in real life. Both series are going head to head and there’s 2 clear winners. The fans and the racers. More money and more eyes.

Nope I'm not anti-WSX I jus disagree with their strategy and if you were paying attention I predicted exactly this scenario....they could of had it all with a fall series...the fans lose with their current plan....and for your info I was at every SX race from the mid 80's to early 90's...I'm sorry that you find the best of the best racing each other boring...I guess each to there own...now you have a nice day....

Disagree with their strategy?!
You know Global’s strategy intimately? How it may have developed and reacted to others strategies along the way?
I doubt that very much.

Your posts are constantly anti-WSX and American-centric. That’s all good, just don’t pretend otherwise.

There’s a big wide world with differing opinions out there.
You should check it out sometime, you may be surprised what you find.

Their strategy is right there in plain sight....Sorry you're too biased to see it...Like I have said multiple times but you ignore it every time...WSX should be a fall series that everyone can race and be enjoyed by racers and fans (and I would support), but because they chose to go against outdoor MX (strategy if you're paying attention) they will not get the top US based SX riders to compete, which I believe most fans would like to see. They even spent some time at US SX races to try and convince manufacturers to race their series (again strategy) they failed to do so as now all the manufacturers have chosen to side with Feld/MX Sports. The real losers in all of this are the fans that will see lesser competition under the veil of a "World Championship" with retired, close to retired and journeyman racers....now if they were a fall series you would see some support from the manufacturers for their riders that wanted to race....now you have teams without manufacturer support, team owners that have previously skipped out on paying their personnel and suppliers of their team....and then call it growing the sport...You say my posts are American-centric but I would say the same thing about Feld /MX Sports if they chose to have a competing series say against the Aussie SX series and try and draw their racers and teams away....As I've said many many times, there is room for this series to get some of the best riders in the world and have a true world championship...just not June-September...

You say they won’t have world calibre riders? Maybe WSX will uncover new superstars in the sport just like our Lawrence boys 🇦🇺 That are currently the biggest stars in the sport right now and putting an ass whipping on your guys over there.

Unfortunately because of the path that WSX decided to take you won’t be able to see the Lawrence brothers compete in it….if it were a fall series you would…how you get to the conclusion that I somehow give shit who’s whooping who’s ass is beyond me…but I do get to watch the Lawrence brothers race in person….

Stupid name is an understatement. I’m down for the races either way. I’ll watch everything. I have to admit that this feels silly and thrown together but my opinion of WSX is about the same. I’ll still watch them all. More series means more opportunities to get paid for riders and more spots. I think if this has anything to do with the WSX they should have waited a year to decide on this. It’s what, three whole races this year? It’s much easier to get stars to show up to hardly even race. My guess is people like Eli wouldn’t have a thing to do with an extended WSX series. As it is, WSX is basically a paid vacation. Not a hard sell.

If viewers can enjoy college football, even when it sucks compared to the NFL, then they'd also like World Supercross, even if the field isn't as polished as our SX. The important thing is that it's close racing.

That may not happen immediately, with a Roczen or two in the first couple of years, but WSX is going to push a lot of riders world-wide to develop SX skills.

I couldn't care less where a series is based. I just want to watch dirt bikes racing.

Per the RacerX article
" How could a three-race playoff really have such a large impact? Well, real quick, let’s give you the concept of these races and then get back to the deeper meaning. Think of these races as something like the old Monster Energy Cup—a fall hybrid race—but now paying out points and its own championship. The big money remains. Riders will qualify for these three events via points scored in the individual Monster Energy Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championships (which will still hand out their own titles).


So riders need to race both series to qualify for the final 3 rounds....this should help the outdoor series as far as maintaining top ridersSmile

How can they coexist if they are racing on the same dates? If WSX would have done their series Oct-Dec then they could have coexisted, but they chose to go head to head with outdoor MX and by doing so they are now in the position of only getting French and German journeymen SX racers, retired US racers and journeymen US SX racers....the stars of SX will be staying home now....

Unfortunately because of the path that WSX decided to take you won’t be able to see the Lawrence brothers compete in it….if it were a fall series you would…how you get to the conclusion that I somehow give shit who’s whooping who’s ass is beyond me…but I do get to watch the Lawrence brothers race in person….
No mate you missed the point! All I’m saying is you don’t think because they don’t have the top riders in American series that it can be classed as a world championship. Who’s not to say other nations outside of America don’t have the next biggest supercross star?
