2/6/2022 12:01pm The sport has been “trying to grow” for a long time. I think it’s time to think about ditching NBC and stream online through a motocross specific app. I don’t know how many of you all are tuned into the mountain bike world but Red Bull’s broadcasting is top notch of these events. There is no pandering to the person...

Let me see if I'm following here, according to needforspeed if we had our guns (we still do) we could shoot our way out of lockdown? and McG you're saying guns protect you from cops? As in you'd shoot them? I thought you guys were all about the thin blue line

American motocross at the highest level is slowly delving into a glamour quest. However, Dylan has given every 450 racer a rude awakening. Humble in victory and humble in defeat, Dylan spoke his mind, was honest, gave props when deserved and actually spoke to the fans and media after a hot moto. He proved time and time again that you don’t need a good start to win a race. When he lost, he didn’t blame bike setup. On a hot day, he still talked to the camera and crowd for an interview. When the championship was practically wrapped up early...

With all due respect, MX is very gnarly in its own way, but the notion that it is the "hardest" sport of all it's kind of BS in my opinion. Hardest under which criteria? It is certainly require a good mix of skills, fitness, and well "balls". But I wouldn't say it's the hardest in terms of fitness.

I would agree with that assessment. Nordic Ski, and Cycling boast the fittest guys around, Moto is right up there with them. They are high output endurance endeavours. Other sports are either lower output with longer endurance or explosive output for short time periods. From what I understand those other 2 disciplines also have a much higher EBV incidence rate than the general population. Moto is also relentless in that it is full time for most of the year, very little recovery time compared to most sports. Whoever suggested above that boxing is on the same level is a muppet...

FWIW, I would argue an Olympic-level nordic skier is the most physically fit athlete. An Olympic-level rower is not far off. Those guys test out a little better than a Tour de France cyclist for aerobic capacity plus they tend to carry a bit more muscle. Moto guys are unique, they have incredible skill, reflexes and hand-eye that plays out when they are being taxed aerobically. None of the above sports compare to that.

9/3/2021 11:13am Raw fitness meaning aerobic fitness. You already mentioned cycling. Middle to long distance running, sky running, ski mountaineering, swimming. This isn’t to take anything away from moto, but to say they are the fittest athletes out there is a bit hyperbolic.
emohteeoh Added a reply to Epstein Barr and Motocross
9/3/2021 8:37am Agreed. Motocross is a tough sport, without a doubt - but in terms of raw fitness, there’s a handful of sports that require more. It’s difficult to think of a sport that has as much risk for injury though. We also have an attitude in motocross of “toughing it out” and riding through injuries, coming back from intense surgical operations...

9/1/2021 9:17pm if he wasn’t over the job, it’s a pretty weird hill to die on. no mandate, just a weekend off to make sure all TV staff stays healthy and back on the next. didn’t have to go down this way

8/30/2021 6:18pm Sometimes it’s not really about pushing yourself harder. Highly motivated athletes need someone to pull on the reins a little bit and keep things in check. Having someone there to write training is one less thing these already thinly spread dudes have to worry about.

7/10/2021 6:29am that’s simply not true, and a slap in the face to people who have been hit while cycling. cool your jets and give your fellow man some room on the road.
