Why do people have more respect for Herlings than Gajser even though Gajser has more 450 championships?

The same reason js7 is held in such high regard.

Have you ever tried getting TM into the 250-450 shootout?  Any rumblings of a Shift mx gear restart?

This might be boring and technical but I’ve always wondered ML how this place operates as a business. Do you get paid per YouTube video/podcast or just have a yearly salary from whoever owns the VitalMX brand? Who gets the YouTube and ad revenue from the podcasts? Is there someone dictating how or when you need to post a video/podcast/article/etc? Have all your questions regarding the new media rules been squared away and can we expect next year to follow the typical video/podcast content around the SMX series VitalMX puts out?

Is there a realistic route for someone to get into a moto media company like Vital or RacerX or MXA as a journalist or is it really as hard as it seems to break in?

Is it insulting when industry people talk about "reading it on the forums" instead of saying VitalMX?

In today’s world there def is. Just start creating content and if it’s good you’ll get noticed or even better build your own outlet.

The saga that is Ty Masterpool: Any 2027 news or prospects? Also - MX6 Kawasaki: Any way to do continual follow-ups with riders/crew members as they chase 11th hour spots to fill? Cheers

As a former test rider ML what is coming down the pike as far as new tech that future bikes will be getting? Most of the stuff has filtered over from motogp like downdraft intake, finger followers, centerport exhaust…etc but whats next? Are we going to see velocity stacks? Movable velocity stacks? Electric water pump from the oem? What happened to the wp air shock? Will we ever see a carbon fiber frame? Or the engine used as a stressed member of the chassis? Could we see variable timing? Direct injection? What big things will be see in the next 5 years that make the bikes better?

Any fun silly season gossip that is not rider/team related? Would love to know if gear brands are doing anything cool for next year like a new helmet or gear innovation.

It would be interesting to  hear what some other racers think of Sacha racing the SMX next races  instead of going right to the East coats 250 class.  Hearing what some of the other SMX next racers think,   maybe some retired  Pros, and active pros from either class.  If they will give you some real answers. And what you both think about it.

 

I've seen people post asking about your time running your own team. I would think you could do an entire podcast  on that alone if you have not already.

 

 More about the new press rules . If they made  the gray areas more clear , etc.

Can you find out why KTM does not have tuner apps for their bikes, especially the 2 stroke line since a fair amount of bikes are poorly tuned from the factory.

15 years ago, Stewart's JGR Yamaha had a rear wheel speed sensor at the Phoenix supercross. We never got the inside story on it! I've never seen a media outlet test any aftermarket traction control kits. Why?  Was it just nothing?

Someday it would be nice to have the long form version of what happened (from JBone) and how within-the-rulebook traction control has evolved since then.

Same reason the new dunlop works better in the wrong direction.

Am I crazy or has this not been around since MY 2024? '23 FE?

For Lewis…Horgmo and Oliver. ZX moto. What do we think?  Money grab or true factory effort?

Does Eli become the Daytona Grand Marshal, and/or a brand ambassador? If so, how long until he does, and what team would he become an ambassador for?

How many goes at it is too many.
