I'd make a scientific wild ass guess that 95-98% of people have never swung a leg over a motocross bike, and even less have spun a lap on a motocross bike. I think that's one of the biggest barriers. Motocross is a very "if you know you know" kind of sport. If you've never been on motocross track then you have zero context for what a thrill and challenge it is in a multitude of ways. Next imo is our sports relationship with public school systems. The better a young MX talent is, the more he is distanced from middle/high...

I admire Deegan for his talent and work ethic. As do most. If he had class, he would have a lot more fans over the age of 12.

Hoping for a miracle ET3 turn around with a 1-1.

Unfortunately you’re right. If you’ve ever spent time at a national you’ll get this

I simply cannot understand how anyone over the age of 16 thinks this was awesome.

He’s got a white t-shirt on with a bunch of weird shit written in sharpie all over it, including “RIP Jett” Literally looks like something a tweaker would wear.

After quals here is what I think, which doesnt mean anything lol. I think Hunter is the best case to 1-1 right now. I think Jett is STILL the fastest guy on the planet but I wonder how his endurance is? I think Prado possibly podiums the 1st moto but I have YET to see him go the distance in ANY RACE on ANY Bike in the USA. Always seems to fall off? I like J-Coop in this one with a top 3 overall. Just a solid ride for the day like he mostly seems to do. I think with...

Pity Roczen is not racing.

It’s q1 at the first national and he’s not 100%. Can we keep our emotions in check a little bit. Sheesh.

Huntah!

Family shit can go sideways sometimes. Been there, done that, it was awful, but now it’s all good. Pro racers aren’t immune to the same stresses and strains us normally folk are. I’ll be rooting for Jason when he returns.

The sport sadly has gone full inbred. Jumps for literally no reason many times have big consequences instead of being tapered and safe Every lane has to have a jump if not multiple jumps Zero effort to group people on speed (think qualifying or a rank system like tennis) so you get what you saw in your sons group kids being lapped in a 4 lap race which is just absolutely retarded. No track etiquette training for riders flaggers or shit even track owners. Where to get on, where ti get off, what to do with blind spots and accidents...

I have had Suzuki roots for 53 years. 😲All the way back to 1973. When I first discovered Motocross and my all time hero Roger DeCoster. He just has the magic touch with his mind and his experience on what he wants on a motorcycle and can engineer parts himself. My first true Motocross motorcycle was a 1974 TM125, even though the Honda Elsinore was the more popular model. Owned over a dozen RM's and FULL FLOATER's throughout the years. There was a time when Suzuki RM's ruled the Southern Cal motocross tracks. When he left and went to Honda...

Still the best looking bike.

Still have a 2008 RM250 sitting in my brother's garage collecting dust. Probably going to end up selling it. I can no longer ride and he's busy raising a family and growing a business.
