This.

Lower speeds = less severe injuries.

Counting your best 10 scores. Having throw always helps keep a balance

In motocross there are no roll cages or air bags, the protective gear is limited (although the majority of professionals only wear the minimum) therefore the speeds and distances have to be maintained. I know this is a dangerous sport and we take our own risk, but to keep injuring and reinjuring the guys who promote the sport, the professionals, seems like bad practice and business plan. I know you can't stop evolution, but I feel we've evolved towards an implosion within.Until the oem's restructure their model (reduced weight, suspension, efficiency=cost=maintenance) I think we will continue on the current path we've been on since the double displacement error.

Didn’t he collide with another rider mid air? Pretty sure the outcome would be the same if he was on a two stroke.
No need for facts around here!

SX is relatively low speed compared to MX and still has plenty of injuries. I agree data needs to be gathered in both MX and SX.

This has never been discussed on here before. We should discuss it.
