Anyone else feel like society is just getting dumber and dumber and everyone is so on edge that they have emotional meltdowns/lash out to deal with all the anger they're feeling? Because a dirt bike race ran 2 motos instead of 4 due to logistics?
So confidently wrong lol
The sport is a business, no shit Feld and MX Sport did this for money. You guys are acting like they're embezzling money from a charity. The races suck, sure, but if that's what they had to do to package the series together for the NBC deal as they've said then so be it, it did result in more money for the riders and better TV coverage for fans. They've got a million kinks to work out but that doesn't mean they're purposely scheming up ways to fuck everyone. So many people talking out their asses on here it's unbelievable.

Fuck SMX
I don’t have a problem with the tracks, I like the Daytona-ish tracks and venues since the modern bikes has grown out the regular stadiums.
But it would be refreshing to see a larger variety of tracks at the SMX. Like a shortened national track with SX obstacles built in to it.
I feel that the current SMX tracks has become more and more the same when it should be the place to build some really exciting stuff.
There is a vocal minority in this forum who complain about everything and they do not represent majority of moto fans..it’s the same members who constantly bash all the riders..etc..
Nothing gimmicky about SMX, it’s more racing, the mix of sx and mx tracks are cool, the rider payout it great, it’s a legit title, the racers like it, fans like it..all that.
What depresses me is the thought that only two more weekends of this racing plus mx on nations and then nothing until Jan ‘26.
It’s like, imagine the worst Supercross track, then combine it with the worst motocross track you can think of.
Yea it’s just a bunch of grown men bitching that don’t know what an emotion is.
I think he got it the first time, no need to repeat yourself 😆
Not gonna happen. They don’t care about the fans
In my opinion Daytona should be part of the Playoff. One of the biggest problems they have is the venues and atmosphere and Daytona SX is one of the few rounds of the year that is prestigious all on it's own, so figure out a way to have another race in the speedway as 1 of the 3, maybe even the Final. They don't really have any major events in September that would be a conflict as all of the football and baseball stadiums do so it should be feasible. Make the middle round just a regular motocross race that rotates between the 10 non-Pala national tracks, and then I guess Vegas for the other one and I feel like the whole thing would be way better.
Unless they had a really big close pile of dry dirt close by, they could have never got that track ready to ride today.
Truth.
Even in Kenny’s interview last night he was saying something along the lines that a poor result in the first race location doesn’t really matter because of the amount of points you get in the next two race locations. Series is a gimmick.
Agreed, go to a national caliber MX location that isn’t on the current summer MX schedule and add in a supercross section for at least one of the locations.
Right now it’s just a larger version of Daytona. It’s not MX at all it is just longer lap SX.
This is Vital. Stop using logic and reason. 😁
Every move this sport executes makes it look even more amateur than it did - if that’s even possible.
SMX came about because of WSX. Everyone knows this.
Zero originality or thought went in to its development just a “we can’t let those guys one up us” knee jerk reaction with no thought at all.
Calling it playoffs . Seriously ? “ let’s just copy every single other major league sporting body because we can’t be bothered to be original “
World Championship. Seriously ? Three races is a “World championship “ ? OK then…….
I can imagine each winner of this clown show is happy with the extra cash it provides but nothing else about it.
It would be cool to make a track at a location like Millville or Glen Helen to incorporate a couple of steep hills and do something cool with them and then build SX stuff at the bottom of the hill.
But it might be my old motocross madness 2 dreams that shines through right now.
Pit Row
Does it need some work, yea.
But some of the options in here are insane. I swear if Feld gave some of y’all a briefcase of cash you’d complain because you had to carry it.
I’ll take the monster energy cup and Red Bull straight rhythm over this bullshit any day
I agree, and frankly these types of venues during daylight make it look like a two-bit state fair race.
The concept of these playoff races is good and has a lot of potential, not against that at all, but the execution isn't optimal.
It’s definitely a different world these days. Born in 60 , there was no cable when I grew up. Wide World of Sports was all we had back then. 90% of that was recorded. Motorcycle Racing of any kind if we were lucky, was shown once a year, if you missed it, there was no rerun. So I’m grateful for what we have today….. even if it was just half the racing. The beauty of it is…….it’s on next week!!!!! WOOHOO!
There was only 1 I believe, and it was David Bailey. In 83.
Knee jerk reaction as they were worried about the WSX.
The split lane start is a gimmick, there was no close up of the first corner action, and some of the camera angles were too far from the action. Not there best.
Hahaha 😆 quote of the weekend, it was almost as bad of disaster when the ORGY dome at burning man was destroyed! 😲🤣😂
Burning Man 'Orgy Dome' Destroyed by Storms - Newsweek https://share.google/V1Ycud56XU88z12dO
100% chance you’d complain about both those too…
And if you prefer it the way it used to be, you can still watch it that. Just don't watch the smx races. I look at them as a nice little bonus.
Yeah it sucks we lost a moto yesterday, but I didn't lose any sleep over it. It is what it is. Blows my mind how bent out of shape some people are over this. Find some more hobbies my guys, or some other things to do on the weekend. Don't be so reliant on being a consumer of sports entertainment to keep you occupied.
What amazes me is all the money and effort that went in to this race….with zero contingency thought or planning. I look at weather for an airport the day before I fly there, and already know if thunderstorms are a strong possibility. Moving forward they need to 1. Contract contingencies with the venue to include sliding a day, 2. Have a plan to shift early or late to make the races, all the races, happen. 3. Check the damn forecast, which can be really pretty precise nowadays, so you can excersize #2. Or…4. Use covered stadiums with an outdoor portion that can hold up to heavy rain. It is unfair to the riders and fans to let this crap happen. The cancelation yesterday may have been justified given the circumstances…but only because they did not have a what if plan b. For all the hype they put in to trying to legitimize a 3 race Championship, they sure looked illegitimate yesterday.
Yes less racing would be better. The riders don’t need the money..
