Some old heads at NBC have convinced them that “television is about storytelling” so all the production meetings are focused on generating storylines that they can write scripts around and shoot interviews about. Then they can pepper the broadcast with those stupid little video clips of the riders answering specific questions about the storylines the production wants to portray. Because just reacting to the unfolding competition in front of them is not enough!!

One industries could slap shit all over their gear Jackson Pollock style and as long as they had their white logo on top it would still look good

Try our new lite line for those hot summer days, now available in black or charcoal gray.

@Kris Keefer DC = Damage Control. if some have been paid and others have not that's a genuine WTF. No need to accuse people of being conspiracy theorists, or maybe we just have unrealistic expectations for the sophistication level of Cotter & Co. Operations? also, why did you say "AMA" and not MXSports?

The Moto Gods will provide. Balance must be restored.

Feels like a trial balloon being floated by RC as directed by his handlers at NBC, or possibly even starting the messaging for a decision that has been made. Hey RC, the idea sucks. That’s my opinion of ‘your’ idea. Let’s not change the sport to fit a TV window. Endurance and toughness in the summer sun is part of the allure of motocross. We have SX and the SX finals which are made for TV. Look for ways to edit the coverage. For RV, do you actually believe this is a good idea? Edit: Imagine the SMX riders trying...

no argument there. Multiple series = multiple promotors. I singled out Feld as the most blatant profit-making offenders by stretching out the program all day and into the night.

Never understand the fitting into a time slot when the races are on a streaming service? The stream isn’t blocking something else from showing up. Make the day longer by adding the futures, women’s or 125ex…you can fit it in the stream…

I see MXA finally decided to test a Varg (1.2 Gen).

Midsize e bikes are great to put more bums on seats. Right now Stark are the only one with a production bike more or less at the level of gas bikes and have been the only electric bike regularly competing in MX, SX and Enduro in national and global series, at amateur and pro level, for the past 3 years (although Jarv-E is also in Hard Enduro World Championship). I mean Stark is supporting teams and riders in AX UK, France SX tour and Elite MX, WSX, SuperEnduro, EnduroGP, Hard Enduro World Championship, US Hard Enduro... And then lots of...

The OEMs were way behind the curve when the Varg came out. There is a thought that customers wanting e-dirt bikes, want a full size 450 equivalent, which is where the Stark Varg buyers fit. But significant buyers for e-dirt bikes are non-moto persons, who like the idea of a powerful emtb/ dirt bike mix. Full size e-dirt bikes are mostly ice e-conversions, while the majority of the e-dirt bikes sold are midsize or smaller - Surron LBX, Talaria, ERide Pro, and smaller Valtinsu EM5 Pro, Yozma, Tuttio, etc. So in saying that, it’ll be interesting to see where the...

Dust and Bonnell might get released this year, they've made impressive prototypes, Bonnell has even done some MX and Enduro races (although being bought by Livewire might be the kiss of death for Dust). Jarv-E (Erzbergrodeo finisher) might make a few dozen bikes this year but it doesn't look like they're ready for mass production. Flux and Radian have super promising prototypes but Flux has been very quiet for 6 months (possibly pushed back in 2027?) while Radian aims for Q4 2027 deliveries. Really curious about the big OEMs, they've been able to dissect the Varg for a while, they've...
