Only $10 for all 2026 SX, MX, and SMX series.
MX/SX is what it is from the general viewing public. Dirt bikes jumping shit. Until SX/MX starts marketing like the X-games, you're going to see budgets cut and salaries go to bonuses. It's sad but unfortunately this is the way economics works.

Very well said and so true. A couple of problems I have seen lately being in the industry. The promotion of grass roots competition is a huge one. While I was working at a retail level, I had a lot of people coming to me to find out about getting involved in the sport, mainly due to the coaching courses that I had advertised in store. Everyone said the same thing. They wanted to get involved, just didnt know how. Most didnt know Motorcycling Australia even existed, and those few that did, said they were absolutely no help at all. I had issues with MA also, with the employees that I had dealt with seemingly having no real interest in our sport (motorcycling, not just motocross), and from the outside, it seems it is purely a business and not a core foundation that is trying to progress our sport forward as best as possible.
Also, the couple of clubs I have tried to offer my assistance and time to, have a committee that has been doing it forever, is scared of new ideas, and almost seemed to be doing it for themselves. Now I know it wouldn't be an easy job at all, but a couple of modern business ideals would go a long way in my opinion.
The last problem is cost. Now I will probably get flamed for this, but I have seen it with my own eyes from the inside. The number of riders forced from our sport due to the costs involved, specifically with keeping a four stroke motor together, has been way, way too high. Now I know our sport has had a high turn over of riders from year to year, but the four strokes have seriously exxagerated the problem in my opinion.
Money doesn't grow in trees you know?
as for pourcel, he should fire his manager if he doesn't get a ride. regardless of whatever pourcel thinks he's worth, that guys job is to put deals together which means controlling both sides of the table. none of us will probably ever know what he finally settles for, but i'd bet it is gonna be less than he was offered already.
if that was the case then how did Jlaw get $$ for a team ?
Economics 101, value is determined by the amount someone is willing to pay.
a kid 21 has no respect for MC ? (consider the source )
The stars of this sport dont send their kids racing MX. Whats that tell you?
The future is dull, or dead for this sport.
Didn't Honda make an offer to Pourcel? MC is probably just butt-hurt that Christophe didn't jump on the opportunity.
