All

Not sure if it is a phase of life kind of thing, but as my kids have grown into adults and my friends have retired in other areas, the social aspect of going to SX is gone for me. The cost matters more now because the cost is higher and the value (social,friends) is lower. Still love to hear the "braap" walking into the stadium for practice, but it's just not worth it.

South Lake Tahoe? It's got Casinos and it's a helluva nice area to just hang out. Vegas is just not as cool as it was, to me, years ago. And, as you guys are saying, it's literally RIDICUOUS when it comes to the cost of going there.

For me, a big part of "not hurting for money" is to skip Vegas all together. That place is "straight up larceny"!

Same but different. Just like going to Vegas now. 25 bucks US for a martini or an 8 ounce glass of wine. I'm not hurting for money either but fuck that just out of principal.

I'd rather pay for 3 MX practices than 1 SX ticket.

There are more and more of us opting out

I'm doing my part 🫡

Prices not going to change unless people stop going

All that stuff that you listed is one of the reasons I got off the wagon of thinking I would die if I didn't go. They jumped the shark with me in reference to pricing after sitting in my car for 2-3 hours trying to get out of the parking lot @ Pala.

As I recall, he became more interested in the ' Beach Lifestyle ', and building decidedly uninspiring Custom Motorcycles than racing while he was here.

This is what I've been saying all season. He did the same in year 1 when he struggled on the KTM indoors. Dude won 8 races in year two and almost the title and still thought the grass was greener elsewhere. This isn't the bike. It's hopping around looking for a fit that doesn't exist when he would be better served by just putting in the time to feel comfortable on the bike. There's a lot to be said about knowing the bad things a bike does and how to work around it. That's verbatim what Kenny said he had...

You would think Kawasaki would want to put an end to this rumor though too. It’s not exactly a good look.

Or is it because there’s nothing to report as he has a multi year deal with kawi? Is anyone waiting for a press release to announce haiden at star? No because he’s on a multi year deal.

The race sexton went to was basically in his hometown, minutes away from where he lived and had a track in his yard before moving to florida. I promise you his sponsors didn't care one way or the other if he was there. The winning 2 races thing as being evidence that the bike is fine is hilarious to me. Jett won 4 outdoors this year, does that mean everything was fine? Both achieved well below their ceiling and it is silly not to consider the causes of that.

That's alot of down votes for something that is literally showing to be more truthful then not.

Peter and Jeffrey Herlings

I would go with The Leok family heritage First with Tanel Leok and Sebastian Leok - Tanel is age 41 and still could get a point at MXGP's and Sebastian had a breakthrough year at EMX and ADAC Also Aigar Leok and Lucas Leok could be a fast combo

Nothing compares to Harry and Stefan. But there are some honorable mentions. Gary and David Bailey.
