RG437 Added a reply to Prado in Opening Ceremonies?
12/3/2023 8:54am That was my tweet. I think it’s somewhat controversial as he’s never raced a SX before and opening ceremonies is normally for Top 10 in points or past champions etc. but I think the point of the Opening Ceremonies is to build hype for the event and I certainly think there is value in showcasing the fact that the reigning...

RG437 Added a reply to Will Hunter be happy to be HRC’s No.2, forever?

RG437 Added a reply to Will Hunter be happy to be HRC’s No.2, forever?
11/23/2023 4:45am Even if he is technically the second rider in terms of stature and pay, he’s still going to get all the equipment and support he needs to be successful there. I think it’s highly unlikely Jett will have anything bike related that Hunter can’t also have. He’ll have all the tools he needs and if he delivers, he’ll get paid...
RG437 Added a reply to It’s now safe to say that Jett Lawrence was the fastest teenager our sport has ever seen.
11/23/2023 4:41am Jett is in the conversation for sure, but there’s also at least 10 other riders that are in that conversation where you could make a solid argument for them being the fastest teenager the sport has seen. To say that it’s ‘safe to say’ that Jett is the fastest is a wild take IMO. I was surprised to see that...
RG437 Added a reply to The Cooksey says Jorge Prado to race first 3 rounds of SX
11/9/2023 11:23am There’s also video of him riding SX whoops the right way btw. I would think all the people he’s been around whilst riding SX in the US know what they’re are doing and also don’t want him to get hurt. If they thought he wasn’t up to it I’m sure it wouldn’t be an option for him to race in...
RG437 Added a reply to Where do MXGP riders train in the winter?
11/9/2023 9:56am Tends to vary between Spain and Italy/Sardinia. A lot of people do still ride in Belgium and Holland though. In Prado’s Gypsy Tales podcast he talks about how much he travelled during pre season last year

RG437 Added a reply to The Cooksey says Jorge Prado to race first 3 rounds of SX
11/9/2023 3:11am If there is a chance of him racing the first 3 rounds in ‘24 then that kind of tells us that his testing must’ve gone pretty well. GasGas and the KTM group on the US side will have been able to have a good look at him and I’m certain that him racing any SX in ‘24 wouldn’t be an...

I agree. Comparing Eric Peronnard and Paris SX (and the dozens of other successful events he has promoted) to this joke of a series is ridiculous. Eric has been attracting the best riders going back to before McGrath and he is well respected across the industry. If anyone could pull off a World Supercross series it would be him and there is a reason he hasn't.

Bad decisions...thats kind of like saying nothing to see here...They should be getting better at their organization not worse...maybe it's time to admit that Adam Bailey is the problem (every partner/investor he's had has run from him)...if the organizers of the Paris SX were running this do you think it would still be the same shit show? And are you just going to ignore what the riders opinions are? They are about to lose teams and riders for next year because of expectations vs reality....They all got into it for the money but if there aren't any races then nobody...

11/5/2023 4:38am It wasn’t two years ago, it was very much this year. It was fine last year, they had two rounds in the off season and they were both successful. This season they came in trying to take on the Nationals with their schedule and half their rounds go cancelled. Riders signed up planning their summer on getting paid for 6...

Pretty sure it was Adam Bailey and his team that compared it to SX in fact I’m pretty sure they made the claim to be the best SX series in the world…what’s disappointing is that they have gotten worse at every round and not better…if you haven’t listened to Lewis’s post race interview with the riders you should…they are the ones that are truly disappointed…

RG437 Added a reply to Wsx Abu Dhabi thoughts ?
11/4/2023 6:43pm The racing was entertaining in the same way that a FailArmy video is entertaining, and because dirtbikes are just generally entertaining. Honestly, I don’t see how WSX’s reputation could fall any further than it is right now. They have failed on so many promises, made so many bad decisions that I think it will be almost impossible to recover it...

Justin Brayton...."You want people to take it serious? Good luck" RWR wasn't going to show up and made their decision to come last Sunday night... Throwing a checkered flag to the wrong rider... Sub par and unreliable equipment to build the track with, they were down to one skid steer that worked... The FIM either unwilling to or unable to handle Friese....they did nothing last year and what he did today at the very least should have been met with a penalty... Riders complaining that by only having three races cut what they could make in half... Not one rider...

11/4/2023 6:30pm France has a successful SX series, but on a smaller scale. The problem WSX has it that they have partnered themselves with teams that normally will not be able to sign the kind of riders that will sell tickets on the scale that they want to. Roczen of course is one of the biggest and most popular names in the...

11/4/2023 6:21pm There’s a race in Paris in a couple of weeks that will have many ‘24 SX title contenders racing on a proper SX track and it is a sell out both nights. They didn’t need to step on any toes to make that happen, in fact, quite the opposite

11/4/2023 9:57am There is already people bringing SX to the world without trying to step on the toes of the 50+ year strong SX/MX schedule. I have no doubt that if WSX got their way, the best teams, and therefore the best riders would be racing SX all year round, and I have a big issue with that. So I am quite...

Whatever value there was in the brand WSX before this event is gone after this. They've completely destroyed it and it's a shame for the fans, riders and teams. Adam Bailey literally said in previous interviews that they have cancelled venues/rounds because the risk that the event wouldn't be up to standard, and then they bring out a 85cc AX track after MONTHS of waiting.

RG437 Added a reply to Should the MXDN go to a bi-yearly format?
10/17/2023 1:46pm No one is saying that the AMA SX/MX schedule is easy, but it’s a commonly said that it’s massively more difficult than the schedule of an MXGP rider, that simply isn’t true, both are extremely tough and gruelling for different reasons. Obviously there are more events in the AMA schedule but every MXGP is a 2 day event with way...
