I think the air horns are taking away from the podium presentation and the rider interviews. Am I missing something as I would try to get rid of them.

The only thing worse is some drunk with a chainless chain saw.

Man up. Air horns have been a part of outdoors since the 70s. It's tradition and the fans want to celebrate.

Horn sounds and podiums go together- that being said, they need to muffle those f-ers down a bit!

A little tact and good taste with air horns would go a long way.

So is "Show us your tits" and "The other side sucks!", but thankfully that is gone.

The bikes are loud, too.  Should we go all electric?

How about showing a modicum of respect to the podium finishers and announcers by just holding off on the fucking things for the five minutes they need to acknowledge their sponsors. Assholes.

Or at least have a Monster girl with a sign saying "quiet" like they do on the live studio TV shows. It's bloody annoying, inconsiderate and plain rude to be doing it when their talking.

I have both.

Milwaukee m-18 with 4 trumpet train horn.with a spare battery its been to both MXDN in 2023 and 2024

This winter I built a power saw to bring to this years MXDN 

It has a 2024 Husky 250 2 stroke pipe cut,welded to fit onto the saw

I would post videos of both but I haven’t figured out how to post a video yet.

I won’t be the drunk guy as I’m a former alcoholic.but it’s required to make noise during and after any Motorsport.

I’ve seen a pull wagon with a battery powered air compressor with a ships horn.

Golf and tennis and any other single ball sports won’t allow any noise makers..

Motocross requires 2 balls.

In all seriousness congrats on your quitting booze...

but a greater good to society would be quitting obnoxious loud noise makers. If you need a support group, go down to the local fire department and ask if you can rest on the top of their cab whilst they belt there sirens eh?

My neighbor has a very loud goat, maybe besides the bellowing you can take advantage?

I'm just trying to help.

I was tempted to slap the four-trumpet Makita outta a guy’s hand, but decided I didn’t want to get my ass kicked.

They also ran out of air, so they could not blast all day.

I was Hangtown a couple of years ago and some effing dirt bag had on of those truck/train horns. You could not hear the riders talking on the podium.
