Should the MXDN go to a bi-yearly format?

I only managed to watch a low quality stream in a foreign language as I'm traveling at the moment but didn't I see that there were 108000 people there this year, the event definitely doesn't seem to be struggling

Exactly, send the people that want to go. Not that hard to understand

No , if  a farm worker , an orchard builder , and a carpenter can take a holiday from their day Jobs and make their way from Nz to race to the other side of the world , then pro  racers  can do one more weekend a year 

Not everybody thinks the same,and thats ok. I guess contracts mean nothing. Lol. 

Hell I think it should go back to MXdN with 450s one weekend then Trophee des with 250s the next every year . 

USA won last year (albeit on home turf  we win every year for 1 year!), and we struggled to send a team this year - so it's a good question to ask.

Yes, we should send a team every year. Yes, I wish the top racers were motivated to go. 

The schedule and sport are evolving. Monster Cup came and went;  now WSX and SMX have tilted the schedule. An every other year race, perhaps with less races (1 or 2 SMX versus 3) on the MXDN year might free up time and make it easier to attend. I just doubt it would address fundamentals and the money machine at Infront raking in MXDN revenue annually is not going to to give up that $.

Riders will have other reasons to not want to go. Bummer but unless the US teams want it and the riders want it we'll keep replaying this same song, at least for non-US MXDN.

Yes, it is a different world than it was 40 years ago. The sport is bigger, faster and way more advanced. Remember when all we had were 12 pro races a year? There was plenty of time for MXON. A guy could get married before the season started and still get in a full year of racing and MXON. 

Maybe there would be more interest from teams and riders if it wasn't a big deal every year.

It was 102,000 over the three days

no 

Needs to be every year. To many variables that keep riders out as it is already.

Imagine this was every forth year, and US had this years situation. That's 8 years without a proper heads up with rest of the world for the fans. The event would die.

No.  Not unless the current annual schedule would totally imperil the event, which seems unlikely given the 23 running.  

Some riders only get one year to have a chance to represent, because of performance and health.  And I think ultimately getting the teams together each year is essential to the event's character.  If a country can't pull it together for a year, it's on that nation's organizing body and that country is out of the discussion about the event . . . like, no "if only" BS.

As a non American, I believe it should NOT be every year.

Yes, you might be disappointed if your country has great riders in an off year, but that's the way it goes.

The window of opportunity is too small in moto for the MXdN to be every 4 years.  Keep tradition alive, and keep it at every year.  The only ones complaining are U.S. based teams.  It's a great event with a long history that pits country against country, and most everyone I know, looks forward to it every year.

Every year.

Start fund raising for 2024 MXoN at A-1

Every year!

What a great idea! We remove the absolute best race and highlight of the year.

Maybe we could replace it with 12 rounds of Hyper Duper Megascrub Cross in a stadium? 

Hey Peckerwood, you can stop asking that question about 1993.

No

Hard NO

Yeah nah

Every two years? How about twice a year?? 

If Feld or DC solely owned and profited from the MXdN there would be much gnashing of teeth and utter despair from the MXGP crowd.  Add venues in South America, Asia, and New Zealand. Let Luongo only pocket the European versions. Then it would truly be an Olympics of MX.

Should be every year. If your country doesn't have the nuts to race, that's your problem.  The event should be be the mxdn, the wmxdn and a junior event. All classes counting towards the win to encourage each country to get out of their own way to raise participation in the sport instead of killing it. If your country can't support each class it shows their incompetence to run their organisation and give support to those who grow the sport. Motocross is dying. Make it inclusive or find another hobby. 

Yearly. The racing in Ernee was fucking first class. I wouldn't want to wait 4 yrs to see that. My life ain't long enough. 

It should be every year, and the pride and prise money for the winning team should be sky high I’ll bet there are no complaints then 

Well the promoter sure isn't struggling

There needs to be good prize money. This is how the riders earn a living.

If my boss asked me to travel across the world for work but no pay during my holiday then I ain't going to be happy. Especially the USA dudes, they need to take a break before SX boot camp starts. The Euros have plenty of time before their season starts.

All pro riders need proper compensation each time they line up. Also important to remember the grind and risk that these guys go through. Every gate drop could be their last.

Yup...he is banking huge...

Fuck no. How is this even a question? Look how many people were at the event!

Is it perfect? No. Could the promoters make it easier for teams to get there? Yes.

Could the teams make it easier on themselves. Also yes.

But none of that means the event is fundamentally flawed.
