12,000 people for a pro race with big names. What wsx is doing is really cool and I hope it works. That’s not gonna cut it though. If you want wsx to succeed it needs to take off at some point.

Who were the big names? I live 45mins from Calgary and passed because I didn't want to watch Webb "practice". Also Mcmahon stadium is about the worst venue in the world for access and parking. Not to mention its old and shitty. Should have just raced our outdoor track.

Hopefully our new stadium being built will be better and we get a second wack at it. Need more of the big names in instead of sitting out.

Wow. We are from same area ( sundre). I had great time.

I think what some North Americans might be missing in the appeal of WSX is that it's a unique opportunity for lots of fans around the world to see some of the best riders.

It might not be the very top level but the attraction is that these guys don't travel much. In this respect Canada is definitely not the most exotic location but over in Latin America, Europe, South Africa (or bike crazy countries like Indonesia!) it's a huge appeal to be able to watch a few top10-top15 AMA riders. Sure it's not "the real thing" but the real thing doesn't race outside the US.

Paris Supercross was more or less the only event to enable that for some time.

Have they ever announced a winner of the SX1 class?  Their results page only shows 2 heats…..

Nice. I am out in the Bragg Creek area. Not saying I wouldn't have had a good time, just stating the reasons I decided not to go. To be fair the drive also was a big reason. I have to make that drive every day during the week, and do everything I can to not go to the city during the weekend. lol.

You guys getting any rain yet? Everything is so dry down here right now. Hopefully the rain this week improves some of the riding conditions
