I think it's bloody Brilliant.
They are having a go, in a large variety of classes and with a wide variety of machinery.
Racing. It's a great thing. Blokes and perhaps, some Blokettes, doing far more than sitting in front of a computer / on a device and tapping away.
I always say, if even a poofteenth of a percent of India's / China's and many other Countries populations, get into Dirt Bikes, we'll see a sales boom that makes the fabled 70s Dirt Bike sales boom in Western countries look like a flea on an Elephant.
It all starts somewhere and they will progress if they keep it going. Think about it, another whole MX/SX industry means when people and sponsors start really getting competitive they will need experienced mechanics, rider coaches, track builders etc.
I can only see positives...one of my favourate chows is curry, I can set bikes up pretty good and I can coach riders...and I'll happily take Dollaz if someone is prepared to pay to get the edge over the competition.
Early days but we can't underestimate what a huge population of passionate and driven people can do in terms of progression for a sport, despite their economic disadvantages.
Look at what has happened in Surfing for example with the Brazilian storm. Basically Brazilians dominate the sport now, even in powerful waves if consequence they are doing airs and breaking the status quo. 10-15 years ago the idea that 3 of the top five surfers would be Brazilian would have been laughable and now it's reality. It's raised the bar of professional surfing.
Would be cool if something similar happens from India taking racing seriously. Some of the changes will be scary but I think it would be a net positive for the sport.
Rising tides
The Shop
People getting out and racing bikes. Doesn’t get any better
Thank you op for posting this, this little bit of international exposure can only help a series like this gain momentum.
And thanks treesnake, now I want a 1/4 bunny chow 😄👍
Really though, it's just good to see people having fun on bikes, the crowd enjoying it, kids maybe growing up and pursuing a life of doing the same, so who knows where it will grow from there, good luck to them and cool to see when you stop and think about it.
Here's the real thing.
If you don’t think a scooter punting a kx450f off the track is hilarious I just don’t know what to tell you.

Next race isn’t until mid October, bummer.
I retired from a large Tech company that had 120k employees, lot of them from India. Most were great people, some of the best people I ever worked with other than the ones at executive levels. They came from British hierarchy and were full loaded dickheads.
Pit Row
Those oversize square side numbers should come back. It really helps identifying the riders.
Weege and Ricky have some serious, well worded competition in the booth.
