Has anyone listened to Reedy's interview? Said a lot of interesting things. He thinks Pro MX should be gone, SX needs to be global, not many more rounds but spread out over more time. Also talked about our amateurs and Europes amateurs and how he thinks europe's amateur series is better than ours. Talked about how the two stroke era was much better than the four stroke era and how our tracks need to be more like they were in the 90's and 2000's. It was a really good interview, I'd suggest you guys check it out if you haven't. If you have, what do you guys think? You agree with his ideas and opinions?
Reeds also an SX guy so I definately disagree in getting rid of MX.
When talking to friends who know nothing on several occasions I have described MX as the heart of the sport, what seperates the men from the boys and personally an MX championship means more in terms of effort and physically demanding.
Reeds old arse definitely wants no part of 2x 30+ min motos lol

SX going global? I'm 100% on that bandwagon. Obvious reasons. SX/MX(racing in general) is popular in lots of cities/countries across the world. Why not take advantage of that? AX series would still be a US only series with the kids and those who can't do all global SX rounds. US nationals gone? I've always wanted to see one MX series with all the best riders in it(MX Sports & YS would collaborate on one big series). Now that is never ever going to happen unfortunately, but we can always dream.
2-strokes? I'm a bit more skeptical about that. The 4 strokes aren't the problem, the current tracks are the problem.
in a lot of ways He just comes off as still bitter over over his last go at the outdoors and still just being shitty about it.
As always with reed, he has an opinion. Even though I don't agree with the sx only, at least he has an opinion! He wants sx to be global but is forgetting that mx already is.
Not sure how many guys make a living wage to do the Outdoors but it seems impossible to run a profitable business doing it.
Kind of contradicts himself, no? The EMX series builds talent for the MXGP not SX.
SX going global? Say goodbye to the privateers. I don't think many of them would be able to afford flying across the world for 17 rounds of SX. This is not F1.
Without a pro MX series how do you expect to develop talented riders? With a "B" SX series during the summer months? Replace the current MX amateur nationals with a full amateur SX series starting on 50's?
To each their own but I prefer MX over SX.

look at how many GP teams closed up this year, fly away races are very expensive for teams,
