This is what happens when you have almost all of the first 5 races in the same state....STOP GOING TO CALIFORNIA SO MUCH.

I guarantee all my downvotes are from CA. Its just facts people. Open stadiums don't agree with mother nature.

You can keep shitting in your pantys year after year about where SX is held, but the series started here and will always be here. Suck it

I downvoted and I flip California more shit than probably anyone on this board...

However, I also understand that FELD, who has millions invested in making this series happen and also has an open line of communication with the Teams who race the series....has thought through lots of options, taking in all the variables of Travel, Stadium Availability etc. etc. and makes what they feel is the best decision for the schedule of their series.

Of course, maybe you know more than them about the logistics and what's best for their series from your couch out in Minnesota?

Let me guess, you think a stadium closer to you would be a better spot? 

Give us some viable options taking in all variables that FELD has to deal with....I'm sure you've thought of something that they haven't....

Food grows where water flows. It's nice to see our reservoirs filling back up. I live in Oroville and the lake has literally boosted in volume. Might even get to see the new spillway open up if this keeps up.

Total bummed that SX is cancelled, my wife and I enjoy the racing. Might just take the TC out to the field on Saturday and have a mudder of my own.

It really is the best decision as these conditions would be worse than Dec 6th 2003 where Deryl Hurley won in 1 foot deep quagmire mess...

Look on the bright side- at least multiple racers won’t get their bikes/trailers stolen this weekend by staying away from Oakland..

Sincere question:

What injuries have some of the SX riders gotten during the number of muddy races?  Got to figure maybe some eye damage from having to ditch goggles mid-moto.

Right, Daytona blah blah, the real stadium SX series started in LA with the Superbowl Of Motocross.  Argue all you want, it’s true.

Yes on LA Super Bowl, but I’m pretty sure it was Orlando that started the series at least once back in the 90’s…

As a fan that lives in a different country having 7 events out 31 in California does seem excessive

Don't forget that California has about half the population of England, and is close to double the physical size. 

 

The distance from San Diego to Oakland is more than the distance from London to Glasgow.

The last thing I’d want is them trying to cobble together a half assed mud track. 

Remember when it poured rain and they put lime down and half the field ended up with chemical burns? Ken Roczen hasn’t been the same since.

They should just hold round 2 in New Orleans. Would be easier on the factory teams, and 450 privateers. Plus, could still get the Oakland better lock everything up vibe. I’m not biased. Okay im biased.
