MXON is always an epic event.

How can we turn the half arsed SMX into a MXON over two weekends?

Top 20 of MXGP and AMA plus top riders from each country.

And still have the huge prizemoney.

At some point in the future we may have a combined National/GP, as well as MXoN. 

SMX is SMX, let’s not tarnish MXoN by mixing it with that

I can't see the Euros going for this, it requires a setup closer to SX, and they don't ride that, it would not be that great of a race for them.

 

That being said, a bunch would probably give it a go for the payout lol

Maybe it’s a more outdoor event to accomodate everyone.

Thats where I got the idea from,

Use 2 outdoor tracks and have Herlings, Tomac, Jett, Gajser, etc in two rounds with NBC $$$

imo I lean to wht Lewis Philips said on pulp , along the lines like SMX should mix the top 250 guys with the 450 boiiss & run a mini series outta tht , like having Levi , deegz race Jett n them & give the 250 guys an option if they wana run their 250 machine or run a 450 


edit : MXON needs to stay exactly wht it is , if anything like others stated , we gotta get back to having the USGPS

I like the idea I saw of an SMX round being at an MX track, like Glen Helen or someplace like that.

Leave the MXON alone

I thought that was one of the worst ideas I’d ever heard.

The MXDN is my personal favorite event of the year. I would hate to see it move from what is working. And to join it with SMX would kill it.

Would be cool if they had two combined top 20 mxgp & 20 top ama riders race together. 1 race in america and 1 in europe each year.

Then the Mxon at the end of season like always

We can't.

The huge prize money exists because NBC paid up for it and they want it to be a "playoff" to end the season.  

They don't want to pay up for races that half the field is guys who haven't been racing the races that are on NBC all year.
