Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
a rider that could do well in 5-8 types of racing to me, would be a much bigger prize then one type of racing.
mx, sx, hs, end, trials, Dt, TT, hillclimb etc a true series of races and the best overall rider wins.

No MX guy could even ride pro trials. IMO no MX guy would make an Endurocross main event. None would finish a hard enduro.
No pro Trials rider could qualify for a outdoor national or supercross night show. Or even race the pro class at a GNCC or other off-road race.
In the end I would have to go with Taylor Robert. He can win desert Hare & Hound, Worcs, Endurocross, extreme enduro and also win the overall at the ISDE. He's a pro motocrosser who could qualify for a outdoor national and with a little practice I'm sure he could make a supercross night show. On top of that I've seen him ride s national trials, while not a pro he is up in a higher class and could beat most other riders going for this title.

Alfredo Gomez, is doing very well in Trial, Enduro and Motocross, you can see him in this video where he trains all disciplines, he has also participated in races of all disciplines, now now only to train, because internationally is focused in Hard Enduro and Super Enduro.
There is a reason why when MX guys (especially east coast guys) convert to off-road they typically do well. I won't go into it, but it's amazing how off-road guys ignore it. Oh, and I'm an off-road guy through and through.
Just so you know my perspective, my son is a pro endurocross racer and and top level national expert Trials rider.
Endurocross is way different than any other discipline (same with hard Enduro) Guys like Kalib Russel and Ricky Russel have tried it and don't make the main events. On the flip side my son can finish in the top 10 pro ex, but only races the expert class in off-road races, he doesn't have pro speed. That's what is so impressive about Taylor Robert. He's the only guy who can legitimately win any off-road race as well as EX.
And no, I'm not counting trials. We're talking about the best rounded dirt bike rider here. I'm not sure why trials is even being brought into it. It's not a dirt bike, not even close actually. Just because it has 2 wheels and an engine it doesn't mean we need to bring it into the equation. No one is bringing sport bikes into it so no need for trials.
Andrew Short has started riding enduros and has said he wants to eventually ride Dakar-type rally races. Be fun to watch the next couple of years.
He was a fully supported Honda of Houston Amateur MX guy before a major back injury. He started in off road for fun and is now one of the best riders in the world.
He can also do a backflip....
I'm so pumped to have him racing the National Hare and Hounds this year...the series took a huge blow when KC66 passed away...Taylor is giving it that extra boost...
Pit Row
ability.... Very pastrana like.
Anyway, why is a trials bike not a dirt bike? A trials bike would be quickest across any rough terrain other than a full on mx track. In fact, I could run with most of the B's on my trials bike
2x 250 Canadian champ, 1x AMA Lites West AX Champion, has put in good results down south in both MX & SX (Top 20). Raced 3 GNCC races in 2016 in the XC1 Pro class and his results were 7th, 16th and 7th.
He just got done representing Canada at the Six Days ISDE in France and he's now going to represent our country for the 6th time at MXdN. He's the first guy in history to be chosen to represent his country at both events.
I'd say he's pretty well rounded.
