Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
Factory KTM had 10 guys at the first AMA national , and not one of them was an SX guy, there were flat track boys, road racers , desert guys and everything.. even a nobber like me could run the pace , because I had speed on asphalt and was good enough in the dirt.. by the time the urbancross came in at the end of the season, and the appearance of technical dirt in the second year , anyone without a pro MX background was wasting their time.
It needs to go back to how it was for the Superbikers at Carlsbad, fast , technical , but without an obstacle that gives a guy 2 seconds a lap because he is the only guy doing it.
That's why Mettet is so cool, the track is raceable for every ability, the 'new' track had doubles that only a few could do , and everyone else was wasting their time.
The AMA series looks like it is gaining momentum again, I hope it keeps going.
I always thought it was interesting how Pilot Point has had so many fast riders at the same time. Yourself, your brother, Hewitt, Alec Mellick (amatuer), John Short, etc. all active around the same time and conversely, not equally active around the same time. Just interesting to me.
You ever see many of them around there anymore? Of course, that is if you are there enough.
The Shop
1) What is the average rate a top 10 guy pays for an elite trainer? And do you think there is a need for more accredited/licenced trainers that specialize in motocross and understand the physical demands of the sport?
2) What kind of track changes would you like to see for supercross? A lot of us would like to see something different than the old cookie cutter track designs, and possibly safer; what does a real pro have to say?
Good luck to you sir!
Any plans for you to prehaps do another Loretta Lyn's ? Pre haps relive the childhood dream chase another amateur title?
With ur professional background I can see you being very successful training for an amateur is this something you consider?
Given ur success throughout your pro career I think you would make a terrific coach for a few up and comers!
Cheers!
