"If you keep doing what you've always done, you're gonna get what you always got" "Is the glass half empty or half full?" I can't help but imagine what this sport could be with the right mentor. Maybe Trump?

This is the kind of money Feld has to pay to put on a Circus, which is their primary business background. We aren't talking about a company with multi-million dollar earners from their "commission" structure. As long as Feld owns the rights to the sport we won't likely see any significant changes to the purse.

Purses are a joke and always have been. MX racers are like College athletes and get pimped by promoters. As evidenced by the tiny purses, there isn't enough to go around for 2 classes. Let everyone ride one class and have elimination heats to fill the show. As long as there are individual rider contracts you won't have an uprising...

Johnny Depp Added a reply to grid start for SX (only)

12/16/2015 12:11pm
There is a reason other motorsports do a grid start and it has to do with facility space. A typical road course has the main grandstand start/ finish and there is no room to line up 25-30 cars side by side. I would assume they would also think it is too dangerous? The start gate is an iconic part of...

NBC Network not cable 2 hours. Very cool to see it prime time against NFL kickoffs. Great exposure even if it's not live America mostly doesn't know it.

Somebody knows something the Canadian's don't I guess? They sure seem scared of 2 strokes making someone look bad, but it may just be a conspiracy... Nice use of Reed's name to throw this out there again..

Points only for overall's, not moto's or qualifiers keeps it tighter. I would change my previous method to make it easier to keep score. 1-1 2-2 3-3 DNF-23 (22 riders) DNS-24 Lowest point total wins in keeping with Moto tradition.

Promoters can hardly be blamed for making a class for anything that will fill up the gate and therefore entry fees. You could have classes by hair color or zip code, whatever. As long as riders are willing to sit through 45 motos waiting for their turn to ride 2 or 3 classes to get enough seat time to make...

Johnny Depp Added a reply to Canada under pressure?

11/18/2015 1:20pm
It's great of MXA to cover it, unfortunately they are usually ignored. Of course it is obvious they were pressured. Promoters are afraid the big boys will take their ball and not play.

Johnny Depp Added a reply to My ideas to make SX better! Thoughts?

What size or type bike you ride is not the point. No shits given. Who is fastest and how much action I will see is what matters. Keep all the wanna be sandbagging classes out of the big show except for mini bikes. 1 class, any bike, start with 88 riders, elimination format.

Pickle Shots are great. 1 shot Vodka chased with 1 shot of sour pickle juice. Since you mentioned it, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar. I do a shot every morning in my juice. (Pickle Juice is Vinegar)
