A lot of people up in here acting like they pay Chase’s salary 😂
Not condescending at all. I think people are on different levels of enlightenment. Why would it bother me that people living in the basement of their journey to becoming more enlightened, downvote me?
I point it out in the hopes that they will see it and go up the stairs to the main level and show a little maturity. Anonymously downvoting is the type of thing people who aren’t enlightened do.
That guy makes me miss Magoofan
Cool story, this thread is about Chase Sexton
If you want to make a thread complaining about these unnamed soft riders who totally owe you to be out there racing but they refuse because they got a paper cut, go for it

Nice chat, great arguments…
Some folks are old enough to remember that it wasn't IF the bike was going to break, it was WHEN the bike was going to break.
A lot of people are so used to the reliability of todays equipment they forget the bikes are not indestructible. Sometimes shit just happens.
Just sayin
no, I didn't and don't care. Too bad if he's tired. He signed a contract to race x amount of races for x amount of money. Anything less is a breach of contract imo unless obvious circumstances. I'm not talking just about this situation, just the whole narrative that it is somehow cool to just say you don't feel like racing and its accepted. That's all.
Has it already been confirmed he’s going to Kawi?
No official Press Release, but yes, he's going to Kawi. All the legit media sources have been saying that for quite awhile.
If you are one of the guys who doesn't believe them and only believes Press Releases then you'll have to wait until October.
Officially unofficially 😎
HIPPA protects Chase but has nothing to do with him saying anything...he can say and report whatever he wants about his personal health....now his employer and Dr.'s can't without his permission.....
These people think he is supposed to tell everyone why he missed time. He doesn’t have to and the team can’t say anything either. That is my point with HIPAA, he’s protected by it. There is a reason when you go on disability or miss work with a note from the Doctor it doesn’t have a diagnosis. Your employer doesn’t get to know why you’re missing work. Just the way things are now.
On top of it, the beginning of the year was the first time Chase missed time and now this. That’s in his whole career, even going back to 250s. I don’t understand all the rage about it. He’s raced more than anyone else going back maybe 8 years? He’s been worth the money he’s been paid.
^^^Its obvious that he hit the ground pretty good on this one. No one doubts he’s banged up a little.
HIPPA, lol
They've gone down the drain financially. I assume that's led to more cost-cutting measures for the team, like quality control testing
Sexton and family are tired of the BS, "when the risk out weighs the reward" you just dont do it
Fans do pay his salary. Same as in the NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, etc. Seems pretty simple.
This is crazy. If Chase is waiting for the Gods to line up perfectly to win another title then he is in tough moving forward. I was a fan, less so now. He better be careful, once you start quitting it becomes easier to quit.......KTM paid him big money and he has an obligation to line up and race, even if he is feeling less than 100%. There is a young woman racing out of Manitoba who crashed at the Quebec National in Canada, broke her collarbone in 3 places, had surgery, and 2 weeks later raced the series final at Walton. Now that is a bad ass, and it cost her parents 1000's of dollars for her to cross the country to try and win-she did win the Western Canadian Championship, then ventured east to try and win that title as well. Her mom sent me the pics of the break and the aftermath. Racing is tough, racing as a pro is incredibly tough, but racers race. Maybe people should start to appreciate guys like Dungey and RC more, who won indoors and out and who were machines of consistency. I think Dungey had 32 consecutive podiums in SX for starters besides winning SX then MX twice. And RC, fucking mental. The GOAT. 10 consecutive outdoor titles? No one is going to beat that record.
That Kawasaki better be the magic bullet for Chase.....
I'd be really thrilled if I was hosting one of the last two rounds and the guy on the t shirt your selling doesn't show up.
Pit Row
Actually you’re completely wrong. Feld and MXsports isn’t giving revenue to teams. SX/MX isn’t set up anything like NFL/MLB/NBA. These contracts are coming from sponsors and manufacturers.
The amount he is quitting recently.. I’m for RJ over Sexton for Des Nations. Give me a guy not off the bike for weeks and a bike he likes over whatever Chase is doing over at KTM. Yes I get it, Chase has the higher ceiling.. but let’s not act like Sexton had the better outdoor campaign.
You're
They’re like the people when getting pulled over by a cop… “I pay your salary”… but these people are more “I’ll boycott Ktm the 10k I spend a year on them”. If even that we know most people on here don’t even ride.
Eh, put sexton on his best day outdoors this year and RJ on his. Where’s rj a minute or so behind? Don’t get me wrong RJ is crushing it this year.
Lol Chase beats RJ every time. RJ is having a great rookie season tho. Good on him.
Yes but the sponsors and manufacturers pay the $$$ because they believe there’s enough eyeballs on the sport, either at the races or through viewership avenues, to justify the investment.
Chase is an elite professional athlete at the top of his chosen sport. Whether he likes it or not he’s going to be under public scrutiny. Now that doesn’t mean I think he owes me anything.
Chase is entitled to do what he pleases, and I’m equally entitled to have an opinion on it.
What does a typical contract require? A doctors certificate? A note from your mum?
If he takes time without saying anything though people will fill in the blanks.
Right, I’m sure everyone will be talking about those RJ/Jett battles of ‘25 😂
I think the equation for teams is:
Elite elite rider (those who can win races regularly and potentially championships) + supercross = no leaving early just because you can't be arsed.
Elite elite rider (those who can win races regularly and potentially championships) + motocross = go home and stuff your face with burgers and fries (oh, and let the 'media' know you have Epstein Barr or are 'banged up').
Yes. But not 'officially' because the teams live in some bizarre alternative universe in which announcing when someone has signed a contract is forbidden. Only sport to do this by the way.
Chase after reading this thread...
