The guy said no moto guy could win an endurocross.
I’d be shocked if anyone came from moto/supercross and pulled off a win any time soon
I simply stated Brownie has won plenty of them. There may be others too, but thats all I can think of.
Then states he's struggled the last few years.
but he was also a full time off-road guy by then and even he had trouble the last years of his career catching Colton and Cody
I simply stated Brownie is old enough to be their Dads and has retired multiple times. What does the guy Expect? MC to come back and start winning SX's and smoking Roczen and Tomac?

I would assume what JM meant was he doubts any SX/MX racer could switch over to endurocross and win right away. Obviously any of the pro SX/MX guys could be successful with some offroad experience and practice. Those guys are in the top 1% of dirt bike riders in the world. They could train and be very good at any discipline.
That’s pretty much exactly what I was getting at, I don’t know what the heck got lost in translation but I thought that was pretty clear. Lumpy had original said he expected to see Greco get a win soon, and my whole point was I think that was a very high expectation given the amount of talent in the endurocross field. Given enough time I’m sure most of the top moto guys could transition and do well, but the level that Colton and Cody have pushed things to is something that would be very hard to achieve without having a similar background to theirs. What I was somewhat getting at is I don’t think people really appreciate just how good most of the pro field is, and it’s very difficult to if you haven’t raced or watched a round in person. How the heck this turned into what it has is beyond me, but I’m done, this is getting ridiculous and this thread deserves better.
Can’t wait for the Reno round, I’m really hoping I can get into the amateur A main, but even that is pretty tough given how good a lot of those guys are. I was happy to read that Cody took the win last night, I like Colton a lot as well but Cody’s a fellow engineer so I can’t help but root for him. Good to see Redmond did well as well, he’s been doing a few hillclimb events lately so I’ve gotten to know him a little bit and he’s a good dude. Come to think of it I don’t think there’s anyone out there I don’t like, everyone is super friendly at the races and I think that’s something that makes this sport so cool and accessible to fans.

It was a lot of fun last year watching the races live and having a discussion thread on here, sad to see that go away.
