That's a problem I mentioned at the beginning of the thread. It's a " precived expensive" thing. If we had cheap brand new bikes, nobody would buy. They say they would, but they don't. We had a shop till about 10 years ago. Kids want a GXSR 1000. Not a 500. If they don't qualify for the...

The world is changing. Always does. The bikes and racing aren't cool to young people today. People have wised up and found that there is much less a future in this sport than pro football. And pro football is having trouble keeping eyeballs. So what's a short term solution? More band aides...

Breezwood Proving Grounds rents bikes. Google them and ask how much and how insurance works. Just small ones like XR100 and smaller. Foo foo bikes. That's a good idea. They have three tracks going on at once, and one is a dedicated beginner track Back in the day, like mid 70's , a track...

Exactly Georgie Porgie! The mentality has changed for people under 25! It's a tough task, and they have been told all their life that this is the cool thing to do, just like playing outside was a cool thing to do in my lifetime...... It's gonna be tough to grow the sport. Whoever comes up...

Our society has changed do much, I'm not sure there is an easy answer. It is a very daunting problem. I'm just throwing out things that may help, and things I see that will be tough to overcome. Money, time, commitments and social stigma has to be all overcome. Motocross had a tough road to...

The stick and ball sports are all off as well. Participation is 30-50 % off per capita compared to 20 years ago. Many reasons for this from money, time , stigma, other commitments, to people just not socializing with others ( not knowing your next door neighbor) and some parents just don't the...

The demographics have changed. Immensely. This has been a hot topic everywhere on FB and on the web in different districts. 1). We need newbie friendly tracks. The big triples have to go to the pros. They need to go to SX, AX and outdoors. Not at the grassroots level. The only people...

Anyone ever do that Red Bud Grass Track race? It sounds like a bucket list event to me....... Is it good? Any go Pro video? What are the classes? Thanks

The track was tough. It's more than those pro guys wanted to race, as I was in the pits with my brother who was racing at 48. Even though it was tough and gnarly, they don't slow down, and you get some injuries. I know if it was a local race people would say it's "racing", but tracks don't get...

McAdoo did well with all the broken bones, but many others didn't. Lots of heavy hitters went down with a bad moto all ready. lots of weather though......

Yup, my fiance is gonna be there with the whole crew helping him out. Do you know how to spell driven?? AH, I think that's McAadoo's middle name. Wish I was young and full of it again.

Sorry to hear this. It happened in D5 (western PA), now the PAMX, and look what kinda crowds they get. Pitiful. Same thing happened in D6 (eastern PA). Then it happened to another outlaw series. Just shows me ALL the PROBLEMS with LOCAL MX are on a national level. There was a good...

Macadoo was hurt today at ClubMX. Broken ribs and there not sure about the shoulder. He was on track to ride on the MCR team with Alessi and whoever they sign next year. Bummer for everyone at ClubMX. The kid kept Forkner honest at Daytona this year. Actually lead most races over Forkner...

Marchbanks is the real deal. Saw him at Club until Kawasaki signed him to a big bucks 6 year deal and he went to Jeanie's Camp. Early this year. Yeah, he's a man child. He's really talented. Club always talked about him being the next RV2. He has unshakable confidence.

I'm at Club MX this week visiting my fiancé and riding. Cameron Macadoo looks good as does Tanner Stack. Gosh, there are so many fast kids training here it's crazy. Also Crown looks fast, but he's not Makadoo fast. Macadoo and Stack are sponsored by Tony Alessi and Motoconcepts. I know...

Lots of Utah guys down south at the training facilities. They have to drive 4 to 5 hours to race back in Utah. So they pack up and become serios and go to one of 5 places on the east coast.

On my phone here again so bear with me. People don't want to race because there is no class for the true beginner. C classis pretty fast. We can agree on that Nobody wants to race 4 guys and sit all day to do that. We can agree on that. Nobody wants to sit all day till 6 or 7 unless you...

I have raced for 43 years. I quit a race series that I loved for years. Why? I was DQED two times for jumping on yellows ( once after I pulled a holeshot and was leading and a yellow came out the first lap. Yeah. No typo. First lap Long BS stuff) but more importantly, I drove 4 hours to sit...

Cade made it again at Glendsle. He and Bryce Stewart were training buddies last year. They got some TV time. Good to see.

Hopefully he keeps it rolling. He's smooth as hell. One of 6 guys in the 450 class that regularly train at ClubMX He's riding with some of the best down there......
