I see two possibilities. Since MX is probably the most reliant of any sport on great suspension, either: 1) Electronic suspension will be a godsend and it will work awesomely, thus further escalating the technology wars, or; 2) There's no way in Hell it will work well enough for Motocross and it will be a complete waste.

How about electric winning the pitbike race at Big Hill Jam. . .

if it was an option, id pay to have no talking

No need to ban race gas in bike as we will be all Electric soon. Although, banning leaded race gas in Generators is a whole new issue.

There is more risk riding supercross but it pays more.

Actually wondered this myself. Missed races SX vs MX. Definitely seems like SX is more of a meat grinder.

I think you'd find a lesser quality MX series just because it's not as good for a television show. I just don't see how you get main stream viewership like you can with SX. Less money to pay the riders, so the good riders will gravitate to the money. TM

IF, and a big IF, you did a comparison, I think it would be much more interesting to categorize where on the track, IE what obstacle cause said injury. It seems if you removed the whoops, your injury rate would drop 90% in SX.

But even so, by the time we get to MX, lots of dudes have “injuries” but are just spent from a brutal SX season. I know people are going to flame me but I really think the product would be much better for both SX and MX if riders got paid to focus on the one they want. It might even lead to an expanded MX series. Imagine if we could go back to having nationals in March in Florida? Shit, we could do an outdoors series that starts in The southern states when it’s actually nice there so places...

I think you would almost have to look at this data based on whether they were racing or testing for motocross or supercross. That is the only fair way to do it that I can think of. I would go by the rounds missed, but rather when the injury occurred.

Yeah, the data would be real messy. You'll have some guys missing MX races due to injuries from SX. Ferrandis announced he's out for the rest of SX season. But if his injury instead happened with 5 rounds of the MX series left, would he still pull out, or would he come back since he would still have plenty of time to come back to SX in 5 months? Also, in MX you have 40 guys racing the "main" event, compared to 22 in SX. Do the guys racing for 30th place in MX have the same intensity as the...

Racer X has weekly injury reports...I wouldn't be surprised if Davey's got enough data to put something together.

The timing of outdoors skews the data. People get to round 1 of outdoors and are either returning from a SX injury or they’ve been beat up for 17 rounds of being put through the meat grinder and show up already ran down.

This lean condition spoke of can be from dirty jets in a carb, dirty fuel injector, incorrect TPS set too lean, but the one thing that I see most is a bad exhaust gasket where the pipe mounts to the head. Most of these are a crush style gasket that folks want to reuse after the pipe has been removed, but in fact will leak when reused and cause this issue. If left uncorrected it can do harm. Paw Paw
