I think the big obvious elephant in the room is...

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Do you guys think that moto media being close to certain riders is hindering their abilities to be unbiased media?

Was there any truth to el hombre potentially being in no fear gear? Any big name in no fear eventually?

Factory bikes vs other. If you can apply a percentage of better, how much is a factory bike over other team bikes.

Typically we see the better, more talented riders on factory bikes. Just how competitive would say a Jett/Hunter and other consistent high finishing rider be on non-factory but not a full privateer bike. Does the equipment play a considerable role in results relative to the ability.

Mental state. Given equal opportunities for training, is this the one area that trumps all. Would be mental state first, followed by sheer ability and lastly bike, that creates a champion. To be a champion, does it demand all three be in place, or is one so significant that is should really be a stand alone.

I imagine it has been determined what aids in creating the needed mental state to be a top finishing rider. What do the factories offer or encourage riders to help them attain a winning mindset. Beyond a training facility for riding/exercise/other for body preparation. 

Take a dominant rider. What is the one characteristic that truly defines why they are capable of dominance.

Id like to see an age rule in 250 SX and no coasts. I think 25 should be the age limit and make the junior class the coasts.

Junior class should have a title each coast too.

450 leave it as is and are looking forward to Jo, Davies, Levi etc to step up.

The SX track layouts have been a little lame the past few years. Pretty much the same rhythms, triples and stuff connecting corners together at each venue. The tracks flow super easy and everyone figures it out quickly.

Will there be any merit in breaking the flow and slowing the tracks down?

For example, 9 whoops, then a wall jump followed by another 9 whoops. Yeah, it scrazy but damn, we need something to break the same old same old.

Will the schedule between SX MX and SMX get more crowded or less?

When Feld completely takes over and consolidates all SX/MX/WSX/LL, etc, and operates it in the Monster Jam model (owns all teams, riders, media, content, sanctioning body) and changes the name to MONSTERCROSS, what will happen to Vital?   Feld buyout?

Why is it so hard to ban things obviously bad for pro racing? For instance, scoop tires, holeshot devices, starting blocks, starting grates, etc.? Also how advanced is the traction control factory teams use? How many pros use auto clutches?

Great question, but I bet the answer lies somewhere in the same reasoning as not allowing equal displacement 2-strokes at the pro level.

What happens first: 

AMA allowing amateurs to race MX on their electrics (in their own class or not, for the moment it's just forbidden which gets stupider by the day when so many countries found a way to do it),

or

ProMX/SX/SMX allowing electrics ?

Kinda related, will Honda announce a production version of its CR electric proto before it turns 10 (seriously) next March?

He said he'll be ready for A1. It was posted a month ago. He says it at the beginning.

Thanks Mav 👍

I remember some very vague wording from one year ago, sounded the same than the vague wording from 2 years ago, I was hoping for more current vague wording.

I'd like to see a detailed deal on how they go about building the custom wiring harnesses. Materials, connectors, etc.

What the f is the back story on MX6? Seemed like it had enough financial backing, race shop and a passionate owner?

Lew and I will be doing another viewer question episode for this weekend's podcast. Got anything you want us to try to tackle?

Has the Roczen / Suzuki situation caused teams to reevaluate how much impact muscle memory and familiarity plays into things and stop chasing (pun intended) setup so much.

I think I heard the owner has a serious medical condition and need to take care of himself.
