Are we really calling it supermotocross?

People can’t not abbreviate these days so supermotocross will most likely become supermoto which, it may be a stretch, reminds me of a completely different type of racing called supermoto which I thought got its name from shortening supermotocross. Point is, it’s 2 completely different types of dirt bike racing with the same name. It’s not like I’m losing sleep over this, or even care that much at all, I had a thought and a few xtra mins.  How about these sweet alternatives:

Superbike, oh wait… also taken 

Motosupercross 

Motohybrid 

Supocross 

Superdupercross

Superdirtbikeracing 

Megacross

And my favorites- Startcross  

haha

90% of our announcers seem to think it's motoRcross

i get it. feld and mx sports came together. thats cool, but supermotocross is a terrible name for the series imo. i really cant stand it. it just sounds cheesy to me.  i think they should just call the extra rounds "supermotocross" and not the entire series as a whole.

Me too, I think I heard it on Gypsy Tales last year and I am sticking with saying that.

Might as well toss a few logs in the whoops, tire or two on face of jumps and call it Superendurocross!

I’m ready for outdoor Motocross racing.

There’s moto and there’s the circus. 

When you tell someone you ride and they say how much they love SuperDuperMotorcross, you’ll know which crowd you are speaking to.

I find value in that.

It's pretty ridiculous.  They should just call it what it is, Supercross and Motocross and then the final 3 rounds can be Supermotocross.

AND...We have a halftime report (never knew there was a halftime in Supercross), as well as playoffs (because they play on their dirt bikes)

It makes me laugh how the ama announcers will say that Tom Vialle is a 2x mx2 mxgp champion. Rather then the correct “mx2 world champ” they really don’t want to refer to the gp’s as the world championships.

Like a lot of other US sports, Baseball, NFL, US Basketball etc. They pretty much call them world championships even though the whole season is played in the US Laughing

They changed it when world supercross came about. It sounds really cheesy.

Nobody calls it 'Supermotocross' in the same way nobody calls it 'Supey'. 

Its Supercross, and Outdoors. 

I guess we could call it 'pony show at the end'.

Supermotocross = lame.  We have, Supercross, motocross, knee jerk end of season 3 races, because we were afraid some riders would go to the WSX series, so we thought we should pay them some good money to stay.

I like the abbreviation SMX for the final 3 races but other than that, nah I don’t hear anyone that isn’t on the broadcast calling it SuperMotocross.
