If we're being honest, we all know the SMX title doesnt mean anything. The championships happen chronologically in order of importance, SX, MX, SMX.

It’s weird how we went from each series completely ignoring the existence of the other (sx/mx) to now where they almost ignore the fact that there is a supercross championship. Calling it round 4 of 31 is weird to me. A 3 round “championship” called the playoffs, that isn’t in playoff format is beyond ridiculous. While I’m ranting, these aren’t “hybrid” tracks either, they are SX tracks without whoops

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't smx a response to wsx after ama dropped fim? They were afraid that wsx might grow into a straight-on competing series, drawing riders and fans away. I'm not all that jazzed on smx or wsx and I do miss monster cup, I thought it was a cool one off race. I know I'll get heat for this but the season is way too long, for a great many reasons I think the sport would be in a better place if there was 10 sx race season, 10 outdoor season and the other odd...

I really liked the RedBull Straight Rhythm when they did the 2 stroke races just because it was different and had all the throwbacks and trick bikes. KTM kinda killed the event though, IMO, because their bikes were so modern and the older bikes were disadvantaged. (Not knocking KTM tho, I think it’s great they still make 2T and 4T)

I understand the cost issue but I don’t see it being the cause. Pre drone, pick a year, pick a race, do it over and over and the camera angles and coverage were all very similar… and much better than what we have today. It seems like there is more money flowing into the sport now more than ever. Sellouts, higher viewership and higher rider payouts (SMX). So why would it be cost, solely cost? I understand budgets and cutting costs, but to sacrifice production quality, e.g. fewer cameras and low quality drone camera, during a period of growth like...

They’re to cheap to hire more cameras and men to have the ground cams. Go back and watch a race from 2013ish and tell me what we have now is a better product. It’s not.

The angle tonight from the camera on the ground over the stands in the long rhythm really gave a sense of being there. None of the drone cameras or other super elevated angles ever do the track justice.

Yeah it's been really bad lately and feels lazy and cheap. Floor cameras are such a more exciting view. I watch the press day footage just to see things from a ground perspective. And yes to zoom out in RDL, that's been a problem for years.

It’s like in practice they are so zoomed in. Zoom out a bit so we can see the speed

I like the drone shots but I agree they really need more ground level cameras.

Weight the outside peg.

Drone way over used.

Agreed then I have to click on them anyway to see if it’s one I have been following along with.
