They lasted about a year until the different promoters realized they were missing out on a revenue stream.
So they cut the guy with the original idea out of the picture, and by the time they got their act together the internet had arrived and their 900 # never did anything.
The Shop
I would have worn that out monday - wednesday, because cycle news came on thursday, usually.
And just for all the others that subscribed to cycle news east, I still " don't care how the hell they do it in california"!
The very technology you guys are blaming for the decline of our sport is allowing you to bitch and moan about it from the comfort of your lay-z-boy while you binge-watch the latest crime drama on Netflix.
But if you can't afford any of these options, you're not going to be buying a dirt bike anyway.
Morgantown. A kind of bubble really. Yes, the University is a big part of it. This time of year a lot of students are on summer break. There is a ton of medical related business also. Myland has a big plant here. OSHA has a massive building. In the town proper, and maybe 5 miles out, it's mostly professionals and professionals in the making.
5 miles out in most any direction, it's country, honey.
I tell you guys, if they could harness the spirit the Mountaineers get, HiPoint would be the craziest stop on the tour. Mountaineer football and basketball game days, this town is just about paralyzed. Many won't even go there on business
those days, that's how off the scale it gets.
I dunno, maybe a banner a month out letting people about HiPoint would help.
Right at the end of the main drag, at the edge of campus, believe it or not, right on High Street.
Let's see, how else I can articulate this. I was meaning more about making a strong effort to get the sport in front of people who aren't looking for it.
On basic cable television for now while it lasts. In the typical cable package that a restaurant or hotel would have. We need to try to grow the numbers. Of course there are other ways but this is the easiest way to introduce it to the masses.
Pit Row
Access is light-years beyond where it was when I was young.
You know what I have to get to work on my son's bike I just can't type on this anymore maybe you guys are right maybe everything is just hunky-dory and the sport is growing by Leaps and Bounds new bikes are probably flying off the shelves so never mind.
More natural terrain tracks.
A reset on bike speed.
A dirt bike in every garage.
70% of the young generation in these days rather stay in bed or on the couch all day , playing videogames with a bag of Dorito's and a bottle of coke.
Rather than go out riding your dirtbike and getting dirty , and offcourse the big risk of getting tired.
I steered my kids and grandkids away from it once the danger went from injuries to fatalities. A sport/hobby should not be life threatening and sadly that is what the modern era tracks have made MX. We used to be a family with grandpa/kids/grandkids all motoring around. No more. We had a close friend lose their promising mini racer at the age of 8. To me it’s just not worth the risk
Also just an FYI to anyone who is like me and bought the Gold App outside of the US and use a VPN you don't have to for the outdoors. I figured that would be the case since the outdoors have always been available in many places outside of the US but I wasn't positive.
I don't know if you have kids or what area you live in. It's pretty unbelievable to me, but that's what we've experienced.
It's good what frank Tuesday pointed out earlier, that 3 motos will be televised on basic tv, that good to hear.
Half of you say nothing is wrong, the other half says that the youth and the future is a lost cause.
But if you consider what Roger and the rest of the guys who introduced mx to the USA did, I think it's worth a discussion.
