Getting new eyes on dirt bikes is ALL POSITIVE, you guys can try to spin this around like most threads on here. But some kid at this NASCAR race will be asking dad for a dirtbike, and that's a good thing period

Not saying any exposure isn't good but I see a couple of hundred people tops watching. Nascar has had freestyle shows at plenty of races in the past. I was expecting SX commercials during the Fox Sunday broadcast or something like Bristol presented by Monster Energy SX. Hardly Yuge

They're hyping it on the NASCAR Xfinity broadcast today. SX follows it on TV.

Does simply riding a dirtbike really relate to moto. Yeah its a dirt bike and they jump, its still not moto.
When I was a kid and went to saddleback, or the dez, we referred to riding the hills and messing around as play riding. On sundays, hannah and that crew were doing moto x. My opinion that's a big difference. Maybe I should go to a sx, drive fast in the parking lot and represent NascarSmile

Hardly representative of motocross. More like a motorcycle circus act. Hardly new either. I saw a freestyle show at a Nationwide race at the California Speedway 8 or 9 years ago.

Now if Monster would sponsor a freestyle snowmobile event that would be YUGE. Cool

Exactly... when little johnny sees these guys jumping he's going to ask the old man for a dirtbike. Chances are the dad isn't going to set up Ramps in the parking lot for his kid!!! Hahahaha he'll be at the bike shop buying gear, boots, goggles, etc...... more than likely he'll start at the local track. These fools are clueless always have a fuckin problem with everything. Never looking for the good that can come out of something. Oh well. Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

What really happens when little johnny asks for a bike is that Mom remembers back to the Nascar race they went to and says "Hell no you're not getting a motorcycle" because all she knows about them are from the freestyle exhibit that she witnessed.

My Wife, Son and I attended a Supercross race in San Diego when he was 4 years old. He went crazy when the KJSC riders came on the track. "Look Daddy, Look Mommy they're small like me" The next day all he talked about was he wanted a bike like the guys on the track. His Mom asked if they really sold bikes like that for little kids and the following Monday we walked out of North County Yamaha with a brand new PW50. No way she does that after seeing someone hit a ramp.
