After listening to Pulpmx today with Eric Peronnard talking about the Paris SX and SMX, WSX .
It got me thinking is the future of SMX a round in Paris, Abu Dubai (Lewis Phillips credit) and then Aus at Marvel stadium?
Would be more of a world championship than just USA.
No
I do think the US audience is a bit saturated by the time the finals roll around. If they removed one SX and one MX and went to 5 rounds for finals I could see having two or three elsewhere. Maybe Paris, Aus, and ?. Would certainly add to the exposure. Or, if 3 rounds, do Paris, Aus, and finish in Vegas (stadium). That might be better than drag race tracks.
MOCK SMX SCHEDULE that makes it an "actual" world championship. 10 SX, 10 MX, 5 SMX. The shorter schedule allows for travel time for international travel. Double moto format year-round - replace triple crown with double points rounds. The cities are more filler, but well-known stops. The idea is to include some international stops while maintaining a higher number of US stops. I think starting out, it would be better to have 1 or 2 international rounds per series to gauge responses

Taking Millville out and leaving thunder valley is hilarious.

Can we stop catering to the middle east oil money please?
Who's paying to move and accommodate all the riders, mechanics, bikes, gear, spares etc, etc, etc ?
FELD is NOT footing the bill for all that travel / logistics.
Dude I like where your head is at but this is like an idea of a rough draft quality work.
The French getting a repeat round and not the US actually makes me mad.
I would be happy if they just turned smx into the grand national championship/ overall champion rider with most sx, mx and smx points is the overall champ.
honestly moto is a sport where a playoff system is not even warranted cause the way the shit is ranned , its not even wht a post season system is , no racing athlete gets eliminated till mathematically the last rd which a true playoff system every rd a team or another example a tournament in tennis a athlete gets eliminated after rd 1 , 2 , 3 & so on so on, just run the the regular racing championship circuits & call it a season
