More riders should start on 450’s outdoors imo.

I hope the heck RJ has a 450 deal in the works. I'm ready to see some of these guys get in the 450 mix. Next summer could be ultra special, Jett, Hunter, Eli, Chase, Prado, Cooper, Vialle, Deegs, RJ, Herlings.

Why not? Daniel Blair said the piece Cooksey did about this a few years ago wasn't wrong. Giving my post a thumbs up 👍

Look, I’ve got a pretty open sense of humor…but, I think yak’s post is lacking quite a bit of context in order to be considered “funny”…thus, it comes across as a bit of a troll-post. I get the intent; but, it’s lost in translation. As someone that can easily be considered a Forkner-Fan…this OP could be a bit funnier or waaaay less cringey with some better content explaining what’s actually being discussed or loosely joked about. As a sign of how the Forkner’s know how to laugh…and cry…there’s a Forkner in this thread that’s done both in regards to the...

I am starting to believe that Jett is getting bored, and he amplifies the social media hate in his own mind to drive himself harder. Not unusual in many endeavors in life.

I will also say that one of my all time favorite athletes, Michael Jordan, is famous for obsessing over perceived slights, haters, etc.... he'd just make things up if he couldn't come up with something real. it's a little insane but not an uncommon thing for the greats to do. Anything for an extra sliver of motivation.

Watched the entire SMX show. Well done with good info to regular viewers and a new audience. Thought they could have touched on a few more top 250 guys. The tattoo boy segment did nothing to make me a fan, not that I was before. I know I'm old and biased away from tats but displaying all those tats to a young audience isn't the image the sport needs.

DeCoster to Suzuki..... leads them to greatness again. (one can dream....right?)

Biggest win is for the fans who don’t live in America and get a chance to see some of these AMA guys in person when they visit their country.

More races to watch. More riders getting paid. More support crews getting paid. More exposure for companies supporting the industry. More promoters getting into the sport! And it is in the offseason. Sounds like a good thing to me.

I for the life of me, cannot understand the hate WSX gets. More eyes on the sport, more riders and personnel getting paid, more racing for us to watch... How terrible.

Great video! I'm a big fan of the Lawrence Family and hope Jett destroys the field next year. Jett, embrace "Black Mamba."

I hope the heat dies down. Thankfully, I dont see too much of it here, but social media is a different story. Jett is (in my opinion) the best we've seen and It would be extremely unfortunate if the negativity gets to his head and holds him back from his full potential... Js7 was probably right there with him talent wise, but Jett is the whole package. I was actually too young to witness most of js7's career but I love watching old videos of that guy. All im saying is I dont want us to miss witnessing the best...

When I read ML’s article and got to that part, I instantly knew that would be all guys like you would focus on.

Take the names out of it. You’re hosting a race and you want it to be profitable. Ticket sales is where you generate most of your income for the event. Tickets are nearly sold out. 3 weeks before the event is set to take place, a 250 rider says he wants a 6 figure deal to come down and race. Do you take the deal and cut into your profits? If you’re still undecided if it’s worth it or not, maybe you would consider your relations with said rider. Let’s say that rider/team has been an ass to you, does...

Yeah I don't buy it... there was not one bit of advertising even teasing that HD was even coming to Aus. which is what they've done every other year when they've added riders to the program I will add on the slight chance there is any truth to it, its a shit look for the boys though
