I think the chap could sell more Kanga burgers.  Get your Kanga burgers just like the one Golden Ausy Boy eats before he wipes his Golden Arse with American Money 🤣

Say a guy is making 100k before expenses. So you have your sprinter payment,paying for a bike or two. Gas,parts, travel expenses. When it all said and done,he could be making 40/60k . That isint crap in todays world. All im Saying is let these privateers sell some shirts and help them with some gas or entry fee money at the next race.

If you are a privateer who is racing Daytona and you're not in Tampa tonight I don't want to hear any sob stories. With a $10 grand pro purse a privateer could make more money Thursday than Saturday night. 

There is money out there, you just have to go out and make it, the series shouldn't have to go out and make all kinds of special kiosks or vendor areas for a guy who may sell 10 t-shirts. 

Motocross and Supercross are true meritocracies the way it should be.

If jetts donuts aren't decorated and fried by Cambodians they aren't very good... trust me.

I agree when they have races like that,you better show up. Back in the day perris used to put on the super cross warm up race. It was bad ass,not sure what the purse was. I’m not saying to make special kiosks,for example,Karnow or starling could just sell them from under their ez ups. No extra money spent on field.even if they made 250$ that night,that’s 250$ extra that can now go in the gas tank and make that drive alittle easier. Not saying they are going to kill it with merch,every little bit helps a guy out.

Yep.  Lucas explained it all on Pulp a few weeks ago.  They presented the idea to Feld and made a deal.  Any rider could present similar opportunities and they may or may not do it.  Strongest wins and he pulls tons of fans.  

That said, I cannot understand why teams and riders cannot sell merchandise in the pits.  The t-shirt stands would still do just fine with all the fans that only come for the night show which is most fans anyway.  Even of Feld took a cut, it would be cool as a fan to have more than a few options of ugly shirts etc like we have now.

Found it hard to listen when his agent had to say "right" after every sentence.  Drives me nuts when people at work say that when they are presenting, to me that tells me they don't believe what they are saying and trying to convince themselves.

Also found it funny when he was saying how reporting on riders should be more like stick and ball sport reporting on athletes. Then latter on when talking about upcoming contracts with Jo and others he said he couldn't talk money.  Well that's one of the major things reported on with the mainstream athletes!

That't not a fair comparison.  The reporting absolutely should be more like stick and ball sports and less "bro down" reporting.  

Regarding contracts and compensation, the reason those are disclosed in stick and ball is the union contracts require they are public information.......and teams have salary caps and other factors.  There are no such requirements in moto.  Lucas cannot disclose details of a private contract.

These days, I would think that any rider would be smarter to sell their merch on their own social media vs. The headache transporting the stuff to races. 

I think it would be easier at the Supercross / Motocross race,  The average fan doesn’t go searching for privateers merch;   Viewing the riders merch at the races would attract more interest and sales.  I just don’t understand way anyone would stop their means of making money to make it to the next race.  How about paying the riders more money,  this wouldn’t be a issue.!50476E74-D7D2-4AAC-A006-5B7E48D5C879

Hahaha. Wow... clueless.

Translation: "Just sell it on social media (also give paypal/ USPS/FEDEX their cut) and let us "cool" insider guys sell at the track. I mean your not a large enough entity and its for the organized pro racers only. We are protecting the customers bro."

I traveled all over the US with a wakeskate team attending wake events and sold swag and shirts at every stop that payed for our gas. So many people have no idea what it takes to make it on the road in a van.... and then they squash the one thing they need to make it easier. 

clueless...
