I have no idea about MX promotion and such. I do know this much...DC has never been anything but a stand-up guy to my knowledge. I'd bet my bottom dollar that he pays the riders their fair share of what money is made. Should the riders be paid more...of course. You can only slice a pie so many ways. Maybe I'm naive but until I hear Mitch, Troy, Roger or some top riders publically stating that DC is eating meat while they get bones...I'll continue to believe DC is a straight shooter.

I wouldn't dare dispute your numbers because I have no clue. I do know this...that damn Cooper tried to take me out in every corner...so he's pretty much a dick (I'm joshing about the dick thing...he's an okie legend). Cooksey always seemed like he was grinding his axe...he may or may not be impartial. I also believe that even as competitive as the different teams are...if MX sports tried to ban a team for negative publicity...there'd be an industry revolt. Could things be done differently...probably. Would it take more than one entity involved to agree to the changes... definitely. Old...

DC is the man. No two ways about it. Heart and soul promoter with a life time in the sport. Guiseppe? Not so much. However, you wont hear DC say so - he's way too classy to badmouth people.

Very true, FD was a good time. RIP MikeeP

Vital wouldn't be what it is without Freshdirt...............

Probably for doing an interview with the new operators of the Perris track. I got a threatening text message from one of the operators of State Fair (prior Perris and Milestone) after it about how I was all the problems of the moto industry for doing it, and people like me are why they quit going through with JS63, etc etc etc... Comments about defamation and layers... Good stuff. So if anyone wants to know why JS63 didn't happen, I guess blame me?

All sports are this way. There are fewer opportunities and higher levels of competition each step up the ladder. Take a look at the decline in players in stick and ball sports as you go from high school, to college, to pros…..

Honest to f^&k, the internet will be the end of us I swear. I am super engaged in this topic as Outdoor MX is #1 in my heart. Giant hockey fan and lots of other stuff but nothing compares to MX. I loved Sports Gold and Peacock - both were well done and when network cut away for commercials they stayed and tbh that made you feel you were at the race if that makes sense. So, just for the record I would want that same coverage but it doesn't seem that will occur - yet. But, ffs Vital do...

These new FIM affiliated series (this and the e bike endurocross skatepark race) are obviously a grab at being the premier supercross after the AMA/feld decided they don’t need the FIM. Which was likely a result of their dumbass WADA procedures and many racers getting screwed. It’s really clear that the FIM are butt hurt.
