I wonder what the riders think. I seem to recall that MC felt MX was more risky/dangerous than SX. Of course I think the speed and the track designs may have changed enough that the answer might be different today.

These guys are all unreal. A lot of risk for not much reward. Even when guys retire they have to go through a lot of life yet with wounds from racing.

All for our entertainment.

Do you think that maybe they should have a week break in between some of these races so the 450's guys could rest. Tough life taveling week to week and trying to train in between. I think a week off every 3 or so races would help, even if its just one to two breaks in between. It is brutal out there for these 450 guys..

Sounds awesome, but you also have to work around the outdoor schedule. Until someone makes a longer calendars, it's what everyone works with.

Forgot about outdoors, but maybe they could work together on a schedule that would make sense to these riders. My god they are not horses!!! I think horses get better breaks between their racing! I guess it would mean to put aside your money projections and think of the product your giving.. A good competitive race, not a race where 10 top guys are out due to injuries.

Hope they heal up fast. The Outdoor National Series starts in just 60 days.
