I care. I care deeply about the Institution of The Motocross Des Nations and, the legacy of this spectacular, historical event. As do thousands of my constituents. Let no one diminish the majesty and wonderful vibe -of THE most important Motocross event on the calendar, every year. And, the participation of the best of our American riders, should be of paramount interest to all the fans. Having said that, best of luck to Roger, Zach, Cooper and El Hombre. Thanks for stepping up when others wouldn’t. Go kick some ass.

I wonder if these guys regret going?

I approve this post and would buy the T Shirt... back when Honda stepped up back in the day and sent a team. I bought Honda off the back of that because i wanted to be David Bailey, but with a slight thyroid issue. These guys are legends even now, i dont see people ever building a Tomac replica 450 in 15 years time. Its a chance to show the fans, that turn out rain or shine , to support the sport , all over the world, that you are prepared to give up one weekend a year and do...

“It’s just a business decision”. Bullshit. New Coke was just a business decision. Telling everyone it was a business decision doesn’t mean it wasn’t a very ****** up business decision. I guess I need to remind everyone that this event, this Motocross Race -isn’t in Syria or Libya. The Netherlands is pretty much paradise. Ask anyone that’s sat outside in a bar in Amsterdam, sipping a Stella, splitting a spliff whilst girls on crappy black bicycles - (more incredibly attractive chicks pass before your eyes than in your entire life....) ride by, all day. If you won’t race in Paradise...

Right Kenny, Marv, and Ferrandis 3 euro SX entertainers that would also sign up for the SXDN but have lost their outdoor speed and skills as well so it's perfectly understandable why they choose not to ride.

Now if it was the Super Cross Des Nations everyone would want to sign up for that as that is a race we could probably win. Outdoor moto not a chance just another total embarrassment. American riders should just be honest as to why they don't want to go they will get their asses handed to them and they know it. Just admit they are Super Cross entertainers now. Live with it and enjoy the show. MXDN is for racers.

Owned and raced 5 Kawasaki’s, never again. Billy you act like you are Tomac’s agent, give it a rest. If ET and AC dominate next SX season, which is highly unlikely given the depth of riders right now, then there may be some validity to them sitting out. But, who’s to say one of them dosen't break a leg at MEC or in the offseason, then what? Sit those out? Don’t practice until week before A1. There’s risk and reward, if a manufacturer is basing its decision to show up to the worlds largest single moto race based on a...

Its about more than the money. I was at Red Bud. It was an amazing experience up until wheels hit the track for the actual race. Just like everyone else, I was eager to see team America beat some ass on home soil but what actually happened was an embarrassment. Seeing Eli Tomac ride behind a 30-year-old TOMMY SEARLE for 7 fucking laps AT RED BUD...you can not tell me he was "giving it his all"...so what's the point anyway?

If I was making millions, and was one of the fastest riders in the world, I'd go for free. Many other riders have because they felt it was an important race, and weren't doing it for the money.

Me thinks many of you -that like to discount the importance of The Motocross Des Nations, have never attended one of these glorious events. Hell yes, we all agree the riders should be paid, I’m guessing they get a sweet paycheck every month, from their team or the factory, regardless of what they do- but that’s not for us to be concerned about, that’s their employer’s business. This is the Pro-Bowl, the Super Bowl and the Olympics of Motocross all in one, a tradition that is a HUGE part of this sport - as we know it. This recent spat...

The riders don't get shit on for getting beat. They are usually cheered on and supported for going and giving their best. They do get flack for not going though, especially with the lame excuses like you are throwing out.
