"Under sell, over deliver" is not a bad motto to use for business. Wsx has been the exact opposite. a format that makes it difficult for top riders to come and run select events that logistics and schedules allow. A silly team structure that makes absolutely no sense. Completely over hyping it to the point of being laughable. It has definitely been a disappointment. And it is entirely their doing by not having a clue. If you decide to go head to head with Microsoft you better at least know how to turn a laptop on.

Adam Bailey and his original partner showed up at A1 trying to talk teams into joining....at an AMA/Feld event.....like jackasses. Instead of scheduling events after MXGP and MX in the US, they decided to in the summer and attempted to lure talent away from both series, but mostly US. They also made massive claims that then laughably failed miserably and now they have cancelled races, lost all their funding and have a sideshow of a series. I would love to see them do well and have a cool series from October to December or something like that, but they started...

You seriously think people don’t like it because it isn’t American and they don’t want anyone but Americans to see the races live? Maybe there’s some idiot that actually thinks that way but you are painting with some extremely broad strokes if you’re thinking that is the reasoning. It potentially takes away from the competitiveness of the top level of the sport of Supercross and Pro Motocross. It hasn’t yet but that is the threat. It already sucks that the talent is divided outdoors between MXGP and Pro Motocross. I’d hate to see the same thing happen to Supercross and...

I agree with the sentiment here and the overpromising is why I judged WSX against such a high criteria previously. I feel all involved have shown humility though and admitted that, actually, they haven't delivered on a lot of things. Now that they have repositioned their stance, I'll be judging them against a much simpler criteria this time around!

You may have just stumbled on to a new marketing tagline for this groundbreaking series... "WSX. At least it's better than nothing."

Yeah he's been able to deliver on all his promises....WSX's original goal wasn't to extend the careers of riders careers that were coming to a close....they were going to be the premier SX series in the world with the worlds best SX riders....and we can see how that has worked out for them....he has now eaten a lot of well deserved humble pie and has had to settle to be a second rate fall series...it's kinda sad really...

With the help of politically correct marketing positivity, "small track" translates into "close racing". Thanks, they pushed the walls.

Are there any riders racing that series close to Trey's level?

My 20 year old 2.stroke is running at a lot better than 80% of what it was when new, and the range is exactly the same as when it was new, and I can recharge in 1 minute, just like when it was new. It's had a few pistons , some spark plugs , oil, filters etc., but they do not come to anywhere near the $7000 cost of a replacement battery for a Stark, so this " what about ICE maintenance" argument/deflection doesn't really add up.

I'd be willing to bet in ten years, we'll here lots of voices around the world saying "How could we be so blind with that electric craze?" since something way smarter will have surfaced... If mother earth hasn't exploded by then, that is.

A couple takes from the automotive world, where they are starting to see reality on EV's. Take a look in the business news lately, and you can see some severe backpedaling by the automakers. "Everyone wanted to get a jump on their neighbor and invested heavily in EVs, falsely believing that the novelty of EVs would not wear off on society as quickly as it has. Tesla's incomparable market value kicked other OEMs into gear, but they hadn't yet figured out which way to turn the wheel, so they just aimed directly at Tesla, which operates nothing like a normal...
