The bar has been set, they absolutely cannot let 4 strokes ever come back to this event. Period

I dont think 2 strokes need to be in sx full time. Look how fun it is to have these races like the 2 stroke races at the nationals and rbsr. It makes it fun having it be limited races now with retired legends too. This race is aweeeeeesome, soooo much fun. Why no euros try this out at least?
Supercross isn’t a thing in Europe

Only thing that would make this better is Bowers on the sweet sweet KX500

Because they’re too busy focusing on MX. No disrespect, they killed us at the nations. But the US market is in SX. I don’t think they could serve us a humble pie in this event. Though it would be cool to see them!

He rides a different sport, so he wouldn’t do this one

I feel like GL and Weege had AJ as the favorite, and fair play he won, but damn Renzland finished on the box this year in SX and AJ barely makes mains. Props to AJ, he actually looks like Bubba on a 125 and Renzland resembles MC from his days on a 125, too. Fun to watch.

The ship has sailed but if I was at Feld I'd be taking serious notice, adding a 150 class might not be a bad idea to get people back interested. Honestly, it's gotten very boring most nights.

Man I really hope they could incorporate this in the following years. The minis at Monster cup have some of the best racing. that would take this to the next level! I would just hope they don’t get too crazy and crash out.

No, the question was how would he do in an event he wouldn’t do.

One thing I like about the 125's is that they don't run the same lap times as the 250's and that's how it should be.

The 250f run the same lap times as 450's pretty much all the time whether it's SX or MX and that's just wrong.

It's awesome how the 125 guys have to accentuate their body positions to get more power to the ground.

It better be 2 strokes only again next year. This shit is awesome.
I’m definitely much more concentrated on the TV this year. Last year and before during the 4 stroke I was always kinda looking at the phone or doing other stuff while watching. Now I can’t look away! Woohoo

Anybody know what happened to Roczen? He was all hyped up about buying a 93/94 CR250 back in the summer just to build for this race. Did Honda nix that idea?
