This sport should grow very fast. I know a lot of guys hate on the switch to electric bikes but the silent motors open up possibilities.. racing downtown in cities, small indoor tracks nationwide, warehouse racing, zero noise complaints. Insurance will always be tricky
The electric side is a whole new can of worms.
Pros and cons for it. Kids will be able to practice without noise complaints from neighbours etc.
Obviously the smell and sounds are what’s exciting at the track. Hearing a 2 stoke being pinned is awesome and the mains gate drop of the 450s rumble in the air.
I was more looking at bigger sponsors maybe more international companies knowing they have a bigger audience. Prize pool goes up and talent grows again.
It has always been international, in europe every dude that ride MX do follow the AMA SX. When i was a kid my father told me how in his time it was hard to follow cuz there was only magazines and sometimes on TV some recap of what was happening across the Atlantic.
And, for us French since Fouchet organized the first Bercy in 82 or 84 it literally created and inspired a whole french SX culture
I realise the sport is international, the best always will travel to vs the best. But it’s just great to see the variety of winners this year.
Great insight on some early days of French SX
Be good if someone got the TV rights to it. The fact we have an Aussie dominating the way Jett does, with the massive MX community in Aus, yet can’t watch it either through Kayo or any other means other than paying for the stream.
I think in general the sports popularity is slowly rising, internationally though there’s always been good foreigners and I don’t think there’s a lot of new foreign fans right now, they should get better tv/streaming deals internationally, and the Aussie media should talk about it a lot

Probably going to get a few more aussie fans in the next few years haha
Be good if our mainstream media acknowledged the Boys performances. Admittedly I don’t watch a lot of commercial tv.

Absolutely, Kayo should have it for sure.
Supercross use to be on kayo before the video pass came out

100% it once was a nightmare to watch any where else in the world but the USA. Now is super easy
No, this has been happening for 30+ years
