Only $10 for all 2026 SX, MX, and SMX series.
Sounds like another cash cow for the US market. Unless It travels internationally it’s not a world championship, the winner won’t be seen as a global superstar like an MXGP champion.
Sx & Mx require different bike set ups, so it’s got to be one of the other.

I know bad mouthing America and Americans is cool to some people but it isn’t to me.
Dude, we -know- which series will have the true Champions in it. That’s all that matters.
FTR, I love this New Championship. I’m thinking Blue Plate with a Gold Number 1…?
Sure who races matters... But there would be no races without fans (besides the pandemic stuff).
So there is conflation of the two.
One side sees that oh, since i have like 5 riders come from overseas and race. were a world championship (Thats bullshit)
Im of the opinion, Lets take this shit across the world and see who the best is.. literally across our rock floating in the space..the actual world.
The difference in my opinion is and would be the whole experience and bringing in new fans.. and maybe that one dude down in zimbawe africa or Mongolia or some far flung place i dont know about could be the next. Rick Ryan for a race. (To me that, would be a world championship).
World Definition:
1 : the earthly state of human existence
2 : the earth with its inhabitants and all things upon it
3 : individual course of life : career
4 : the inhabitants of the earth : the human race
^^^^^ Does not, say the United States
- Also before somebody says something dumb, not all countries are 3rd world like the usa brainwashes us to believe.
You said you’re not bad mounting anything and then finished your post by claiming “the US” brainwashes Americans into thinking all other countries are third world. I’ve certainly never thought that. I’ve had the fortunate of being able to travel a lot, thankfully, but I can recognize that it doesn’t make me any smarter than someone who hasn’t. Many Americans don’t leave the Country because the USA is huge so leaving it requires a long, expensive trip.
I am curious where they found $10,000,000 extra dollars since they have been saying forever that nobody makes money running moto……
But that being said. AMA Supercross is in fact the ONLY World Supercross.
Pit Row
But I do think it’s ridiculous to call something a world championship when it’s based in a single country and only riders from that national championship can qualify, regardless of whether they have the majority of the best riders.
Just like it’s ridiculous for you to say that anyone in WSX would find it hard to finish top ten in ama. You do realise Roczen is racing WSX right? Tomac’s in for one…… You’ve also made other erroneous claims like feeling sorry for international fans paying for over priced tickets to see second rate riders. Well tickets are about $50usd for us to see in person, blokes racing that we have only ever seen on video. Throw in a few top Aussies and euros and I’ll happily pay 50 bucks every weekend of the year. AMA’s obviously not coming to us anytime soon, so why wouldn’t we support WSX?
No one is saying that AMA Supercross isn’t the premier series. It’s hard to ever imagine a day when it won’t be. But let’s not pretend that by adding a couple of races that it’s something that it’s not.
Adam Bailey had talked about expanding the Aus x open to more places before this came up, he took the opportunity
I find it interesting that in ml’s foot notes he said that feld walking away from fim was part of this , I wonder if the USA based oem teams told feld that the fim title didn’t mean shit to them
Feld should have held it to not give a disruptor like Bailey/Cochrane/WSX with deeper pockets and international runs on the board open slather.
On the other hand the Feld rationale might go that a rising tide- a worldwide interest in SX- will lift all boats.
Any of the others? Notsomuch
