JS. Naturally, black people have more fast-twitch muscles than us whities who can't jump for shit. If you don't believe it, go read a book. JS should've beat the crap out of the GOAT's records. I guess JS was just too fast for physics.....

That I was never any good at going really fast on a motocross bikeBlushWhistling

But seriously....

Without saying, any and all serious injuries/deaths.

Bradshaw's failure to capture that 1992 SX championship?

Mcgrath's failure to win the 1997 SX championship?

Cannondale?

The demise of the Hodaka name plate?

The 2002 motocross of nations fiasco?

This might be an interesting list, bring it on guys.

Anymore ,it is the cost of MX overall. For the average rider it is out of hand.

Next is the purse that is paid out to Pro riders at a National, it is a joke compared to other sports.

1) it would be nice if mx was bigger so it could support more riders to actually make a decent living
2)bikes were cheaper, economy better(remember when you could buy a new bike and turn around sell it and lose about a grand)
3)more mx tracks to go to and riding areas

we could go on and on here

Brett Metcalfe running out of gas on the last lap at southwick, really wanted him to win a moto.

What is MY biggest disappointment in MX? Hmmmm, dislocating my shoulder. Dumb mistake, but everything happens for a reason.

Yea I'd love to see a bottled water company sponsor a team, we all know it's water in those monster/rockstar/redbull etc. cans.

definitely for me is not getting my license this year. I love dirt bikes but I'm really starting to hate the organizations.

as a fan, not seeing where Pastrana's MX potential could have gone. EF24's injury. double displacement rule. having seattle SX in quest field instead of safeco.
