SX or MX?

Outdoors. It's not even close.

What he said./\

SX is just an MX sideshow.

Shit yeah!!!

True it's just to pass winter till the real racing starts (even though sx is where tge big bucks are)

SX is rather lame IMO, but I´m a Euro.... It´s a temporary fix until the GP´s and nationals start

Sx is a sideshow? What gets more views again?

I like:

-Anaheim (hype, new bikes)
-Atlanta (I attend the race)
-Daytona (nostalgia)
-Las Vegas (finally its over!)

Otherwise, I wake up on the couch at 3am with the "recording has stopped" menu on my tv more often than not.

Outdoors is true dirt bike competition.

Yup.

Sums it up.

If I may: That's an easy one for me. Which one is James Stewart better at?



Sums it up.

Pretty typical fare from the "core" moto fans, calling SX a sideshow. Too bad the 2011 SX season kicked the bloody shit out of the MX season that came before it, for racing and excitement. Likewise the 2013 SX season. If not for the little bikes we'd be bored out of our skulls every other summer. Everyone screaming "Whoo! Outdoors! Time for the real racing!" Yeah, about half the time. And it's not just SX thinning the field, either.

Supercross theoretically is more interesting. MX has varying lines on a 2-D plane that make the racing happen -- you know, position swappage and all that. SX is more about varying lines in 3-D space, vertically, which makes it unique among other forms of racing and which should lead to the same swappage of positions. Unfortunately, SX tracks are nowhere as interesting as they could be (or used to be), so the racing does tend to spoil.

Since SX is missing what makes MX great and vice versa, obviously a combo track would be a very cool thing. The main thing MX has that SX does not is space. We have Daytona and the Monster Cup, which are both half-assed hybrids, but the sport can do better. Paging Redbull...

I like both equally for different reasons.

SX on TV, MX in person.

SX does work better for TV.

Outdoors is core, always has been and always will be. SX was better when they ran smokers, it's more twist and go now and everyone can jump everything out there with the four strokes.

How could you blame someone for doing a SX only contract though if they were the top dog, and could make big frikkin bucks and only have to beat themselves up part of the year if they didn't lose any ground to the competition by setting out.

I just wish the TV package for Outdoors wasn't complete garbage.
