Who thinks we should replace the 125 all stars class with the 125 Has been class.. Its open to all retired pro's... James stewart, Ricky Carmichael, Travis Pastrana, Brownie, Keefer, Ping, Nick Wey, Grant Langston(that would be tough to do during the broadcast but he could always announce in riding gear) Ryno.. Alessi, RV, Mcgrath. Dungey, Trey Canard..

Man that would be epic to watch.. but make it like a 10min +1 so all those dudes dont have to go on a program to get in shape lol...


Or atleast do it once a year at Red Bud... That would be EPIC!!

Whats better?

You would never get that star studded line up, so limiting it to retired races would be a stupid choice and kill the whole 125 event. You're not going to get any retired pro to travel the country all summer long and wring out a 125 on Saturday, let alone many to make it an actual race. The current 125 race allows retired pros so there's nothing stopping those guys you listed from racing in it.

Having GL race and announce all day in riding gear? Come on, bro... I'm sorry but there is not a single upside to limiting the 125 all star races to retired pros only.

It sounds a lot cooler then it would actually be. It’s a terrible idea just like it would be watching a game with other sport greats. No one wants to see Jordan, Hakeem, Magic etc play a game.

first thing to do to get people to show up and race is to NOT call it a has been race.

I have a better idea: Fully sanction the series and award a 125cc National Championship to the winner. Cool

A vintage class once a year like a festival (why not adding music) would be cool to get rid of the dust on some rare jewells.

Get rid of the supercross jumps and the deeply prep'd tracks for 4 strokes, and I bet most people would actually be surprised how fast DeCoster could still ride for instance, or any 250/500 champ from the 70's 80's 90's.

The Vintage MXdn is something to watch. Last year Chesterfield YZ was pure insanity. In France the Kenny festival, the biggest mx festival in europe, has (had?) a vintage class too, and for instance it was a blast to watch O'show !

And never call them has been. That is not respectful. Legends, all stars, bad ass, whatever, but don't insult mx history !
