@RMexico11 This is big facts. What do we really care about? The SX and MX titles with their races are far more important overall and financially, the SMX finale rounds pays way more. Nobody calls Carmichael a such and such des nations champ. It’s 10x motocross champ.
@Bones_338 You misunderstand deegan entirely. It’s one thing when he has millions of dollars and a title on the line. 2, shimoda took big swipes at him in the weeks up to the final. Haiden will not interfere on purpose.
@MXGRyan I never liked the old motor. It didn’t have enough to pull 3rd on tighter slower corners, but it ran out of ass before you got pointed straight in 2nd. I have one. Threw a HC piston, a pipe and a vortex tuned for 110 leaded. Took care of that problem It’s not Austrian but close
@Limpiez 2/2 rival or exceed Tomacs “beast mode”. Yet they could do it from lap one, week after week, good starts. Their bodies betrayed them. Not their skill. Adam is THE one. THE prodigy. Had he stayed healthy, he IS a Carmichael/stewart level talent and winner.
@Limpiez The American riders of Tomac generation have been extremely overrated, and inconsistent. Tomac has his moments. But in an alternate universe, 2 guys develop the way they were supposed to, and keep America at the top. Austin and Adam. Both had natural speed that could 1/2
@Chris_MXS@FunkyChicken251 If teams/organizations LOST money at anything, they wouldn’t go. It’s not about winning, it’s about if they win, maybe the income is enough to at least justify the trip.
@Chris_MXS@FunkyChicken251 This is different. There is no money in this. This isn’t about making money, they’d probably go if they broke even. You think a star bike only costs $25K? No. They were trying to just get close financially to not losing an ass ton of money for zero reason.
@juggaloclone27@TylerCLUTCHMX That’s fine. They will figure that out. KTM is the most innovative team and they are always testing limits. I’m waiting to see if he resigns with star tho before we throw any rumors around
@FunkyChicken251 3/3. One cohesive nation financially. We are more like 50 different countries. Yeah if team USA only had to drive across Indiana, which is three hours, and by the way it’s bigger than half of the European countries alone, they’d be there every year no problem.
@FunkyChicken251 1/2. It doesn’t. The money has to be justified. It’s a business. You’re flying bikes, overseas and back, hotels, car rentals, food, etc. the list goes on and on. If the teams made any money off of it. They would be there in a heartbeat.
@RyanGee437 Yeah. The next era of riders was insanely weak and even our A team became the B team. I’m sorry. But Tomac is NOT Carmichael, Villopoto, Stewart, dungey, McGrath, who just performed wherever they went. Our best talents got hurt and never hit their pinnacle. AC, AF
@reservjesus88@MXGRyan Hunter is a prodigy in his ability to develop a mx bike. Jett has his enormous well of talent. HD is in their zip code, and has as much or more single lap speed. He will get there. To be this close so early, it should frighten every1. Not bad mouth him.
@Fever_Moto@MXGRyan Ppl can argue me on this. But I think Jett is the best pure talent from a bike skill we’ve ever seen, and his older brother, may be one of the most talented ever at bike development and setup. You’re dealing with a very high level of skill here. HD will get there. It’s not easy
@PaulWes15396579@pulpmx he’s a rookie, And beating Eli Tomac, Jorge Prado, a 3 time supercross champ ain’t even close. He’s the only one that’s close to the Lawrence’s. If you think he’s not gonna close that gap in year 2 or 3. You’re insane. This is NOT a skill or speed gap. This is refinement.
