Birth rates are a global problem that will have to be addressed. Capitalism is based on growth. Will capitalism collapse when there are few new workers, customers, and taxpayers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM0YO1uSZ_8

Motocross is too expensive for minorities. Except in some states where white folks are the minority. Like it or not a lot of women would be happier married with kids than working. It has been documented that womens' happiness has gone down and many are on anti-depressants. There is no hope of changing anything, aside from a global economic collapse...

I don't rule out the base Levo. But I think the base Kenevo could be more fun. I'm not sure if I want to jump on the 29" wheel bandwagon. That said, a badass pedal bike could be had at around the same price. That's the tricky thing about MTB. So many options are available.

Finally... "#1 Being money imo" That's called cutting to the chase. And I stand by my arguement that Feminism and its economic fallout hasn't helped motocross. I'd imagine a lot of homes that produced motocross racers had a breadwinning father and a mother who did a fine job tending the home and raising the kids. And then these same kids...

Say what you want, but what is written in my post has affected the sport. Just because there are a lot of people in the USA and the world does not ensure that the sport will grow. The sport is dependent upon the target demographic and their economic ability to participate. If the target demograpic is affected by depressed wages...

If you can offer an arguement against mine, feel free to do so. Oh wait. you're from Feministfornia. Nevermind.

My reasoning is it would be more heartbreaking for a parent to lose a child if they only have one. If a parent has 5 kids and one is lost due to a tragedy, I believe it wouldn't be as bad. If a resource is scarce it becomes more valuable. That's just basic economics.

A 5K enduro bike is likely better than a budget 5K e-bike at a bike park. Spend 8K on a Troy Lee Kenevo and that could be great at everything but I don't want to spend that much. If I still worked in Orange I'd beg a ride on that Wreckoning!

This is a tragedy for sure, but moto is an extremely dangerous sport. This also shows that smaller family sizes have a big downside if such a tragedy occurs. I come from a family of 3 kids, and if something happened to me my parents would still have a son and daughter to enjoy life with. That doesn't look to...

Do you understand cause and effect? Motocross is extremely dependent on economics and demographics. The decisions women have made have severely impacted economics and demographics. Women going to college and entering the job market flooded the job market and lowered wages for everyone. Lower wages hurt an expensive sport like motocross that has gotten more expensive with four-strokes and such...

They have some races at Switchback which is close to your town. They have a lot of practice days as well.

Do you mean there is some correlation between families and family sports like motocross? Who would have thunk it? Just imagine how many little mxers we will have in the future if nothing changes. And combine this with all the Boomers, Gen Xers, and Gen. Yers that will leave the sport due to age or cost. The times, they are...

If Feminism is about equality, then perhaps women should pay more in taxes to equal the total amount that men pay. That would be fair and equal. Also, women receive more public assistance than men. Maybe they should be taxed higher to compensate. Every woman (on average) needs to have 2.1 children to maintain a society. Women have the children...

It's not that the birth rate is low. The problem is it keeps going down at the same time that we have more and more older people living longer and longer. It's a math problem given that we have Social Security, Medicare, and such. I think public schools waste a lot of money and we would be better off without...

"My HOA banned kids riding bikes, skateboarding and general playing within my neighborhood on our streets and common areas. Because people complained about kids playing and being noisy, etc. more reason for kids to just stay inside." This is terrible. Isn't the whole reason of buying a home in a nice neighborhood and paying a HOA fee to ensure that...

You're right. Roe vs. Wade is awesome and has done a lot of good. We should expand the welfare state and raise taxes. We should pay women to not marry and have kids. Remove all immigration laws. All are welcome. Remove labor laws regarding illegal aliens. And all of this will make motocross flourish. How could it not? I hope...

I'm not blaming women. I'm blaming demographics. But women have to accept some blame for our changing demographics. And these changes are hurting the number of children entering the sport. If the sport is to survive it will need new participants to replace the ones that are being lost due to age or other reasons.

Take away Roe vs. Wade and reduce the size of the welfare state. Reduce taxes proportionate to the reduction in spending. This would provide more funds for recreation. Implement a bachelerotte tax to provide an incentive for women to marry and reproduce. Enforce immigration laws. Enforce labor laws regarding illegal aliens. That will result in more kids and thus more...

It may be a death of 1000 cuts, but the two largest gashes were four-strokes and changing demographics. Demographics and what the OEMs offer have the turning radius of a cruise ship. They cannot be changed in the near future, if ever.

The scary thing about child obesity and declining birth rates: Where will we find our future military recruits?
