I think the appetite or demand for international races, is there when there is nothing else going on and when the full line up is present (or some).
Maybe Asia can scramble audience, but heard Jim Holley saying on Pulp that Japan nationals is lucky to have 5k these days instead of 20k. So maybe just select major motorcycle markets. That will not pay for a premiere series unfortunately.
Its a long game, stamina for 3-5 years is needed and running it basically no matter the spectator pre-buy. Cancelling show due to lack of ticket sales will make it look like a B-series.
if that is from the Feld series then no, it doesn't put me off because the US series IS the world Championship of Supercross. if that pic is propaganda from the WSX so called "world championship" then yes.
I have absolutely no problem with another series. love the fact that it opens up more work for the lower tier guys. just call it what it is, a supercross series. don't promote it as the world championship because it isn't even close.
That pick was pre 2022 when AMA Supercross had FIM World Championship status.
Actually this is inaccurate...Feld wanted to go global but had resistance from the US based factory teams as they didn't want to do that...It was actually what caused the start of the discussions regarding SMX and that is why the FIM was no longer needed in SX

That is why i wrote refusing or failing. Not getting the factory teams on board was obviously then a failure from Feld in getting them to buy into going worldside.
Cool, so build your own tracks. Develop your own teams/riders and make a successful Supercross Circuit on your own. Taking 2nd hand riders from another circuit ain't it.
So, you are big on denying the riders their right to choose?
A lot of pro riders have said, or implied, that US Outdoors sucks. I've heard no rider bag WSX.
It's barely even a "thing" to bag on at this point. It was only 2 rounds last year and they are already cancelling rounds this year....they need to actually have a real series before anyone can form a true opinion I suppose.
Maybe someday they will get higher caliber riders than 15-20th place US privateers, retired guys looking for easy money and foreigners not good enough to race US Supercross....but I'll believe it when I see it.
They shouldn't have been put in the position to choose between two series....but WSX is slowly becoming that off season series it should have been from the beginning anyways.
That’s been the rumors for years, that most riders don’t like racing the outdoors anymore. It’s not for sissy’s that’s for sure. I think the cons far outweigh the pros.
as it should. without the fim.
How many "OnlySX" riders have won a championship? 1? Half seasons don't help riders competitiveness.
Don’t want to see if fail, but I also don’t want it to have an impact on any form of outdoor motocross. Outdoor MX is the core of the sport and the most exciting form of racing in my opinion. The WSX isn’t really supercross, it’s more arena cross than anything. It has its place for the privateers etc, but should never take the factory roses away from outdoors.
Actually no, it was from A1 this year
This is a confusing post man.. Build your own tracks? Huh? Develop your own teams? There is new teams and established teams that WANT to be involved.. Make a successful circuit on your own? Aren't they trying that? Taking 2nd hand riders? First off they're not kidnapping the riders the riders are choosing to get paid to race SX.. and 2nd hand is certainly a nice thing to say about riders trying to make a living hopefully the powers that be don't have that attitude and if they do maybe that's why they're losing the riders..
I should mention I don't really care for any SX I'd rather there just be two MX series but that's not gonna happen and I'll repeat I think the WSX should've just started as an off season series but to suggest that WSX is unfairly poaching riders is silly
No they're poaching US based riders that already have supercross backgrounds/skills. I notice they're not hitting up the MXGP guys that actually live in Europe. I wonder why? 🙄
Feld having a dig at WSX?
Who cares who and what an American organization calls a world champion and a world championship. They call everything a world championship or world series.
NFL World Champions (Notice: National football League - World Champions ... Uh?)
NBA World Champions (National association and World Champions)
MLB World Series
Indycar world championship
Look at the belt; World Champions!
Pit Row
Seriously who really cares…Americans have always had a different view on what a world championship is…to us a world champion is a team/someone competes with the best in the world and wins regardless where the event(s) are held….the rest of the world believes that it must travel the world and compete, regardless of the level of competition constitutes a world champion…just different views that’s all…hell parts of the world drive on the left side of the road…it’s not wrong it’s just different…
You forget one difference and for Americans it’s always a race at home soil. No wonder the big names Carmichael McGrath windham steward have a good relationship everywhere while a foreigner need to adapt always. Like you said some places they drive left some right there are allot of different cultures where they don’t speak American only and i know allot of big names would love a race at home soil.
It’s just a different view….nothing more
I don’t like the model of wsx. I’d rather it not be this team structure. That’s stupid to me and is really not allowing better riders to go. We know for sure of guys who were offered expenses only and others only half of purse winnings.
Now it’s such a wsx vs ama thing it’s unreal. Neither side are willing to admit The flaws in the series they are pulling for. Wsx made an error in judgment with how they scheduled and rolled out the series. Last year was supposedlly the test season. Having cancellations this year before the season starts is not acceptable. That’s a year one mistake to make.
Yeah I mean I don't really care if they call it that I think it's completely inaccurate though.. I was just pointing out to someone that if they have a problem with the WSX calling themselves a world championship they should have a problem with the SMX calling themselves a world championship.. Unsurprisingly they didn't
How about fmx 😁
I have more of a problem with SMX calling it a playoff. In a playoff a team is eliminated. Nobody is getting eliminated in this “playoff”.
3 I can think of ,
mc
reed and Stewart
Haha how nieve
The over promise under deliver logic is why im not a fan. I was excited for it last year but then they made it two rounds. Counted it as a championship and it was super lame. The mdk team being aloud to be a wsx team was bullshit after what they did to the riders years ago. they should of paid the riders individually and ditched the whole team aspect. The way its currently setup its very easy for the riders to be screwed over. As for it running over outdoors who cares. Riders made choices that suit them and thats fine.
Ok I’ll bite. What happens when a top American SX rider shows up at an overseas supercross race?
I’ll bite that’s funny 😁
lets make it happen first, for them to go out of their comfort zone why is no American riding the mx gp 😉 it’s all about the money ofcourse 💰 but it would be a real championship then
Post a reply to: To the people that want WSX to fail or think it’s a negative, what are your reasons?
