Here's a few of mine to get started:
* Riding Categories - Hybrid/ CrossOver becomes normal as MX and Offroad merge more together
* Bikes - Electric and Automatic Gas become common, 2 New Manufacturer's Emerge and replace 2 others
* Demographics - 1/2 of Dealers disappear along with 1/4 of the Riders
* Media - Magazines disappear, TV becomes streaming of all Events
* Events - Locations continue to come to the Populated Areas like SX and away from remote locations

We will have one manufacturer no longer offer Mx bikes.
We will have one manufacturer get back in the 2stroke game.
Ktm will aquire another brand. Raise it from the ashes to become another steady top 5 contender.
Everyone gets a first place trophie...
No gasoline engines, 2 or 4 stroke.
Electric motors only.
Only can charge batteries from 11:00 pm to 3:00 am
No dirt mx tracks. All mx tracks will be concrete.
Hover mx in 30 years

Have you guys ever done endurance races that combine MX and a bit of off-road? Two hour long races with teams of 1,2, or 3. So much seat time, still competitive and not a ton of waiting around but enough time to pit and eat drink some water.
These types of races are THE BEST form of racing I’ve ever done. So fun. I hope they get more popular.

2. Electric starts to take a decent market share, but doesn't fully take over. However the writing will be on the wall and the advantages will be impossible to deny.
3. We see a move toward composite chassis, with multiple different materials being used for different sections. Much like husky uses a steel frame and composite subframe, the same idea will be applied to the main frame of the bike as material bonding improves over time.
4. As computing power becomes cheaper and cheaper, we'll see an increase in complexity on gas bikes and possibly a closed loop EFI system that becomes standard. Two strokes will also (finally) move toward EFI.
5. Chinese bikes will continue to gain market share and potentially begin to rival Japanese bikes
6. A new American company will pick up where Alta left off. The foundation has been laid, someone will build upon it and really shock the industry if done correctly. Alta had some major tricks up their sleeve just before they went under, and had they stayed afloat the industry would have absolutely been turned on its head.
7. The powers that be will continue to desperately reach a casual fan base that does not exist, and be blindly persistent in their efforts to engage a general population audience would could literally not give 1/4 of a shit about any form of racing. We will be told that many changes are necessary to "grow the sport", none of which will have any measurable effect just like it has not for the past 20 years.
8. People will still gather on Vital and bitch to no end about topics that are limited only by your imagination. Electric bikes will be simpler mechanically, easier to ride, and require almost no maintenance, yet we will still have people telling us that two strokes are more economical and accessible to the average person.
Reliable source says something like this.
