2 coasts is actually awesome

No its not,it sucks. Put them all on the line for every round. 

You obviously aren't a privateer, or a broke former mini dad trying to fund this shit. The whole point of 2 coasts.

Quit whining, its a Professional series, If you cant afford to race at that level then stay home and ride local races. If you are good enough they will find you. 

It's better for letting the young guys develop. 16-18yr old kids don't need a 17 race meet grinder of a schedule to learn the ropes of SX. If we had a full gate we wouldnt even know who Cole Davies is. He wouldn't be near the podium, he's be at the back of the top 10. I'm exaggerating by saying we wouldn't know who he is but we wouldn't be talking about how he's the next big thing. Now he's gaining confidence while learning the ropes of SX. Instead of blowing himself up to get into the top 5 again guys who've been in the class 6-7yrs. Do we want nobody healthy to make it to the summer? Combine the coasts

Boo Hoo some of you sound like you are owed something. 

No Coasts

Regions, Regions, Regions

If the 250s were combined into a single class for all 17 rounds, that would be the more entertaining class to watch. Kinda hurts the whole “premier class” argument. 

I still think doing the 250s like this would be awesome:
Region 1: Rounds 1-5

Region 2: Rounds 6-10

Championship: Rounds 11-17 (consists of the top 20 from each region)

Basically works out to a 12 round SX championship (5 regionals, 7 combined) that rewards one national 250 SX champ at the end.

Let em ride supercross futures or arena cross and then move up

450 and 250 full seasons together.

100cc to 125cc east and west coast pro-am series. Let them learn how to ride. No 20k factory suspension, no 15k engines. Claiming rules of say, 10k.

Seriously line them all up.  It doesn’t hurt outdoors.  If you can’t hack it well tough shit.  And these late 20’s and 30 year olds in this class is a joke.   Now if they make it wide open and anyone can race 250 I’m all in.   Why not Barcia drop down and try and win a 250 title.  Go beat him.    

My worry about one class would be the health of the young 250 riders. 

Being good sounds expensive.

And all the money in the world wont make you fast if you don't have some talent. 🤑

6 or 7 years?  RJ's been in the series for 60 or 70 years.

And no I don't think the coasts should be split.  And while I'm here, there needs to be a better system of getting people out of the 250 class and into 450s. There are actual parents in the 250 class, and in RJ's case grandparents.  

You've contradicted yourself here. You don't like all the old fucks being in the class and at the same time you want Dum Dum to move down? 

Yes it should be 3 Regions or Territory East, Center and the west.  No 20k suspension, spec engines . And of course 125 class , so this blonde remains happy . She loves 125,s . You want to see her happy don’t you ?

Ever watched MXGP and it's depleted fields!

Sounds confusing & alot like nascar because of Kenshuth they created a new series top few in points get into the playoffs, stupid. Riders get hurt too much then they don’t get to race in the top 20 ? We want to see racing . Have a A & B main for the 250 class.  Hv 5% of ticket sales go to the purse .  If I go in could make 5k for a 19th I would race the B mains. 

250 class, full series, futures class with regions. Give the futures class an 8-10 minute race with qualifying the day prior, restrict the bikes to stock suspension with springs and valving, stock cylinder heads. Or something like that. But stop calling 250 SX a pro class when they race a half season. 

Futures should be west/east coast championships with an age or point limit? 

17 round national 250 sx championship

The coasts are meant to be development series, or that's how they started. Hard to call it development when you've got guys like anstie and Smith racing them.

Having futures as the coasts give the younger guys a chance to blossom instead of going pro and getting axed before they get a chance to shine.

 More championships, more story lines.

The 250 class is a Pro class with 100% Pro riders.  There Lap times hv been faster than the 450,s.   How did Ken finish racing in the 250 class at iron man ?  He’s a God in the 450 class.  Was Bradshaw ,Larocco , Larry Ward not pro for racing a 8 round series on 250,s in the Nationals.  Or the 500,s 5 rounds ? Mx needs some tradition keep it east & west .  But add B mains for riders to make some  money .  It’s a huge country if I,m 18 I probably wouldn’t want to drive across it constantly. Especially in winter it’s been a Real bad one. 

If you aren’t going to enforce the split by where your parents drivers license resides than run it as one series.

It’s great the way it is. Fitness wise (so much more time off), cost wise for privateers, excitement of two series which make the east west shootouts super exciting. Plus, the title chases are mostly very tight too. 

East vs West shootout is the best 250 race of the SX season, more of that please.

This is professional racing at the highest level. Save that shit for futures. 

I think it needs to be combined for like a 12 race series. This isn’t a developmental class anymore with guys on east coast racing east and guys on west racing west. These are career professionals who live anywhere they want because they have factory bikes, factory flights, and semis. Everything evolves. Quit trying to stick with 80s rules for a sport in 2025.  

I hear the privateer argument. Show up for what you can and try to make an impression. You want some 80s/90s vibe? That’s it. If you can only hit 3 races of the 12. Show up and show out for those 3 and maybe you get a ride. That’s how it used to be. 

I hear you on the excitement for the East coast series starting up this weekend. 

I guess I am in the minority who feels SX would be much better if we had the top 44 riders in the country/world lined up each weekend. These riders fill stadiums so give the crowd the best the world  has to offer for the entire 17 race schedule . We have Arenacross and futures to help  develop young riders if they are not quite ready for prime time 

It's only exciting because it's rare. If it was east/west shootout every week then it's not meaningful any more. Its like when hockey brought in the shootout saying "it's like having more breakaways". No its not, breakaways are exciting because there's not many of them. 

I prefer having two coasts, it's like getting a mini A1 again, more storylines to follow, etc.
