The thread title refers to Feld and most people seem to be directing their aversion in Feld’s direction, however I believe these changes apply to the whole SMX series, not just SX, so MX Sports has a hand in this too.

All I know is that Feld is slowly making things worse. From the actual tracks(either Feld or AMA), to opening ceremonies, the new rules on media, and teams etc. A lot of things are happening and not for the better

“Grow the sport!!” they said. “Learn from NASCAR!!” they urged. “We need to expand the appeal to non-current viewers!!” they appealed. “Quit catering to the redneck bro crowd!!” they snorted. “Bigger is BETTER!!” they chanted in legion. Are we there yet….?

The Orphan National. I sure miss Gatorback.

They use to have MX Nationals before SX ended. Some of those MX races were in…..wait for it……Florida of all places. Imagine not having any outdoor National in Florida. 🤔

Jbone showed his true colors last night, sucking Feld and the AMA both at the same time! He’s fine with the penalties and even championed the new BS sound rules next year. What a POS he has become.

Who I believe is recovering from cancer, and should be held in very high regard and respect for his accomplishments.

IF, and that's a big if, the texts were not that egregious as Weege and Matthes said, seeing it written down like that makes it seem like even more of a joke. Loss of "Team Manager text group privilege"?? This sounds like high school nonsense. Amateur hour. The guys who play a huge role in these teams get treated like a kid with a phone who said some bad words to his friends over text? I know there are rumors it will get rescinded, but the damage is done regardless. Whoever made this call is an absolute clown of a...

I'd say the team managers need to start their own text group. 😏

To sum this mess up, Feld has dummied down our sport, treats teams like crap, we have an absolutely horrid production team for tv, the ama can’t make the right decision to save their life, and the earth is flat. Does that sum it all up?

I actually have the opposite opinion, this year especially. I agree there is great stuff to do in the fall but College Football is dead to me. I spent decades as a booster and passionate fan not missing a game but it's ruined with the Portal and NIL now. The corruption and lack of loyalty to schools makes the Feld thing look like nothing. So this year I decided to retire from it and have been really excited about watching some SMX and MXdN racing and possibly WSX if they have it. Maybe even getting out and riding myself.

7,505 miles Edit: I'll preface that I used a bit of AI assistance (yes, boo me). Might be closer to 7,700 miles and fuel alone would be anywhere between $6-$8k for that rig.

Best TV package ever? It's been streaming live for something like 20 years already, and the broadcast still sucks.

What a business model. Get this: “Hey guys, let’s start a ‘series.’” Cool. You’ll pay the teams to be part of it, right? Nope. They’ll pay us. Oh… but you’ll give them some TV money? Why would we do that? Okay, so there’s at least some incentive for teams to travel across the country and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars competing in your series? Absolutely not. Wait… so they pay entry fees, credential fees, and whatever else you can come up with, cover all their own travel and racing expenses, and you keep the revenue? Now you’re getting it...

Weege announces races for Feld and MXSports but for his other employer he reports on the races? Conflict of interest? But his employer who he writes about the races for also runs the outdoor series? Oh boy. And poor JT, to keep this dream job of his he has to spew out company bullshit that you can tell gags him as he says it, on pulp's review his defending the decisions behind Feld's screw ups made me feel embarassed for him, it was laughably preposterous.

agreement between teams???? what are you talking about? why would any teams have to agree. If Im Lars and know we are going to burn up $50k in motors I would drop in two stock engines with and ecu and a"used" Yosh pipe. Who do I ave to get to agree with me exactly other than my boss?

Weege was annoying this week on the review show. Constantly defending the track and stadium. Who the hell actually though the arena was sick enough for the “playoffs.”

It would be outstanding for all the teams to refuse to show up at the remaining rounds. Fuck Feld.

Confirmed that Star's 250 team manager (Jensen Hendler) and 5.11 Triumph Factory Racing's General Manager Jeremy Coker have both been suspended for the LA round of SMX and removed from the team communication text chain. Confirmed that TLD Ducati's team manager (Josh Wisenor) was removed from the text chain and has had his team manager tower rights revoked. There's a rumor of one more team manager/owner who has also been removed but I haven't been able to confirm this at the time of writing. Yes, the suspensions started over the team members commenting on how much money the mud races...

Are you okay? Did you even read the thread or listen to the podcast posted? What the hell do Jensen Hendler or Jeremy Coker have to do with unsubstantiated BS posted to the internet? You mother fuckers don't know how to read OH MY GOD.
