Is it too early to say generational?

American born motocrossers are embarrassing. 

Our amateur program sucks due to all these mid kids growing up at training facilities with not as much natural talent and zero race craft. 

While the MXGP riders are riding MX all winter, often in sand, SMX riders are riding SX. The SMX guys are not as good at MX as a result. Sacha is flat out better for sure.

I’m not even lying if you sent half of us to live at amateur facilities growing up we’d be just as fast as some of these kids. And my point is we are not good enough to be pro. 

I remember racing a couple of those fast kids growing up before vs after they started going to like mtf. 

The natural talent isnt rising to the top. That’s why Deegan is as good as he is. And he’s like the only one in recent memory.

Our amateur program sucks due to all these mid kids growing up at training facilities with not as much natural talent and zero race craft. 

Our Amateur program for sure doesnt suck its just we have different goals and SX is a big focus as well. 

Just because you got another 2 brothers with elite talent doesnt make everyone else suck. Thats silly.

30+ seconds over 2nd place. That is amazing, and the rest of the dudes are gonna be scratching their heads.

SX was a focus 15-25 years ago, and was often cited as the reason US based riders were so dominant. Now it's the excuse...

Kitchen is fast... waving Deegan by and of course dropping the anchor last year, this year he wants to show respect to Counen... then again, he has a factory ride, life is pretty good.. you don't need to be fast.

I don't think we will see Kitchen as a top5 450 rider ever... but then again, what do I know...

The guy is in 2nd place... and crashed like 2 times... explain yourself.. because this makes zero sense.

I listen to Kottonmouth Kings often in the gym... good sounds!

Anyway, explaining myself... Kitchen never fights to the top... yes, he can be fast, but why doesn't he go after Counen ... or last year, he usually let Deegan by..   ...but I'm happy to be wrong if you can post a few links to videos where Kitchen is not giving up...

Probably James, James used to win by a minute + in some races. He won by over a minute in both motos at Glen Helen in ‘04 when he raced a 250f.

Unrealistic! Southwick just favors the locals because it’s a weird sand that no one else is capable of riding in ever.

What happened to Lux Turner? He must have tossed it somewhere.

Why do so many guys have bike problems at south wick. These guys need to call their euro counterparts and get some advice 

Use the clutch only with the start, not every corner!

I live close to an airport and every three minutes during that race my entire house would shake from 3 f35's doing training or something. They're flying in formation a couple hundred feet above the house!

I don’t understand why Ryder d has such low self belief. One of the best amateurs ever…. 

He oozes a lack of self belief. He’d probably take a gigantic step if he just started believing

The overreacting is funny. This is no different than any other MXGP riders coming over and destroying the field in previous years.. 

Hope they come over and do a full season, it only raises the bar and the other riders will adapt and get better. Pretty sure the doom and gloom was sounded when the Lawrence's started their dominant run years ago.
