I got bored, cut it 5 min. Especially, if I were an outsider, this is too long.

go watch SX .... i would prefer longer races
History is made. For once I agree with Loots.
Me too. They should be 35+ 2 like the GPs, not shorter.

As far as building the sport, your post hinders that..

I wanted 5 mins more, looked like a battle for the lead was brewing up.

Sell your bikes/gear/truck.



Obviously this sport isn't for you.

GPs are 30 + 2

Part of me wants to see 4 15 minute motos because of all the action we see early on. Save for a few battles, most of the passing/battling is over by that point.

On the other hand when battles go for the full 30 its amazing .

Sounds like you need to take up another sport.

Watching is not what requires the endurance it's being on the motorcycle that the 30 + 2 is supposed to physically test. The 30 + 2 is for Riders not for spectators. If every sport was geared around attention spans there would just be finishes.

When did they change it? I thought they were still 35+ 2.

I'm not sure exactly but I think it's been 30 + 2 since 2012 or 2013

Edit: my bad it was since 2014 Smile

I understand that completely, but isn't pro motocross a business? The purses obviously are a telling story of the business. I'm just saying from a business stand point. Cut the race 5-10 min and attract more fans into the sport. IMO. No harm from me guys!

2014.

A piss poor idea. Well, at least it made the Moto's the same, shorter length they had been for years, when the MXDN came around. And, the same length as the US Moto's have been for years. I guess it upped the 'intensity'.

I'd much rather see a return to 40 + 2. But I'm old(er) and have a reasonable attention span.

Why am I surprised that a few think 30 +2 is too long? - during the SX season I read, so often, that 12 / 15 minute mains are too long .........Blink

Supercross was built uopn the idea of bringing mx to the masses, among other reasons.

That's for you short attention span folks.



Let's see outdoor go 40+2

I thought the 16 minutes of commercials was 5 minutes too long. Not against commercials...split screen please!

Thanks Geico for your commercial at the 15 minute mark...while they're racing.
