Probably

If you put him and his skills in a Time Machine now, then he would undoubtedly win. The skill level has elevated so much in recent years. I know the older gen won’t like to hear that, but if you simply look at how they attacked jumps back in the day vs now. Plus corner entry speed etc, he wins easily. But if Bailey, RJ etc were born in the same year as Carson brown, they would likely be much better than brown is now, if that makes sense. It’s not that Brown is better, the sport has just elevated...

This. 💯 If you watch a video of Jerry Robin at LL on that ancient CR250, then watch an old video of Rick Johnson in that era, it looks like Jerry is much faster. But I think that is mostly due to the collective increase in the level of competition. Nobody was scrubbing every jump in 1985. The rising tide lifts all boats.

Everything comes to an end at some point. EVERYTHING. Including DC's stranglehold on this sport (at some point). And let's be honest - they're going to lose their ass on this deal: Have no clue what production costs are, but how many people are going to spend $40 to watch amateur kids race? That's right = grandma. That's pretty much about it.

This week in MOTO: Man who used to race at a high level says the most obvious shit ever and people praise his expertise. Back to you, Linda.

Turning every track surface into the same soil mix nationwide hasn't helped our guys at all. When there is little to no traction available every rider calls the track sketchy. Well, yeah, that's natures way of telling you to ride differently, set up your bike differently, and for the promoters to design any man made obstacles differently. If you can find traction on hard pack, you can find it anywhere. Same thing goes for sand. You have to learn to carry momentum and change your ride position. The Euros practice in all of these conditions. We used to but now...

Years ago (30+) we went to the MXdN, and made World champions look like amateurs. We started the moto’s with much more intensity, took more chances, and by halfway thru the Moto we were jumping over those same champions , turning 2 or 3 jumps into a huge triple. That was an incredible sight to see, and it was a long time until the Euros came to grips with the changes the U.S. riders were already comfortable with. Unfortunately, what goes around comes around, and we are now on the receiving end of lessons being dealt out. Track prep is...

Ryno is definitely on something, whether it's the spot is unclear...

The US is falling behind on lots of things, moto is the least of the issues. Just sayin

" Hundreds of millions of potential viewers will have the opportunity to witness the world’s most elite amateur talent compete for coveted AMA National Championships at the sport’s most famous and hallowed grounds." I'm not sure how this is an upgrade or bragging point when the previous arrangement was available to all 6 billionish people worldwide that have internet access. This one's a head-scratcher for me.

At the end of the day, vote with your wallets. If it means something enough to you, $40 for multiple days of racing which is $8 a day isn't horrible. You'll spend more on your coffee, beer, tabacco, or whatever your vice is easily. Yes it was free but the demand was high enough to make it something to be paid for so they made a business decision which is what Capitalism is all about in our country. So let the numbers of subscribers who pay give them the signal if they need to go back to YouTube free or...

I liked watching it on and off all week when it was on Youtube. 0 chance I am paying $40 for it. I also am not that heavily invested in amateur mx at this point, so not all that big of deal to just not watch. Funny how Flo is $40 a month (much more than any high end streaming service that I know of and those have significantly more content and their own shows/movies) It's not even about the $40 as much as just how ridiculously greedy they continue to be.

It’s well beyond the point of a business making money, which I’ve got zero issues with. It’s straight greed. Does DC and mx sports really need all the $ from what should be a $10 fee to pump the sewage out of my rv? It’s all for their love of the sport though right? We did it last year, got the souvenir bib on the shop wall, won’t go back. It won’t stop until people stop feeding the beast.

Dude nobody cares about cap vs ops spending, they took something that worked for everyone and decided to monetize it for no other reason than greed. They weren't losing money on LL's week, but saw another way to increase their profit and took it at the expense of their core fans. It's a money grab, period.

Classic Phil on pulp last night says he hopes the whole flo racing thing fails.

I’ll pass on the DC cotter extortion fest

Day 5 last year had nearly 85,000 views…this year they’ll be lucky to get 1,500.

Still holding out hope every year that Toronto makes a miraculous return.
