What are we Missing? - Bob Walker on how to Grow Supercross...

[@maverick2242]

Finally someone else other than Cooksey asking the questions, surprised you are posting it on this channel. How will your ID friends take this? Bob Walker is 100% right I have been asking these questions for a decade or more, so great someone with influence and knowledge is asking and bringing this forward. Where the hell are the OEMs, why are they not asking the same question, nothing about what Bob has said is rocket science! What made SX great to begin with was it was simple, until 85, probably not perfect but nothing is! But they used to have Toyota, Wrangler, give always cars! Pros non factory guys made more a week than what they do a month or season now, budding pros could make a living racing week days! EVs aren't gonna help that, as Bob said KISS it. This is the problem and hole WSX has created, not even us who have followed the sport for decades a can follow the last events format without an encyclopedia and even then, they lost at hello, how the hell are sponsors and new fresh potential spectators gonna come and pay big ticket prices to venues or pay online for it. Its a dog n pony show, racing good, that not the problem! though don't like the format and why just do more the same with less, its bizarre, from the X-Files. I don't know what marketing school or dirtbike background these people have but dam way to go, 3 CEOs in 3 years and a series that's still struggling! Its riddled with a network of the same same old, just squeeze more blood out of the stones! Love MX and SX and every other dirt bike discipline, inspite of the toe stubbing! (I'd use other words but keep it less controversial)

People being able to buy electric dirtbikes will probably help grow supercross more than anything. E bike only tracks in and around cities with sound restrictions equals more new riders and fans of the sport.

Yeah right, dream on, its the death of dirtbiking, EV Jesus wake up Tracks aren't being closed or restrictions being imposed by noise that's an excuse by Elites! Just look at MTB and e -bikes even places where trampers go are at risk by these fn N**s they are organized ruthless and they don't want bikes period or freedoms, wake up, get out your EV tech bubble..

I would say a big part of it is how hard it is to watch outside of the US. Unless you paid $280 a year for some subscription, it’s impossible to watch. Most people can’t afford that extra money for something they can watch once a week.

The guy with the answers is finally given a space to inform the fans! I would guess that those making the decisions have probably heard this before. I've got the same beef with the promoters and their purse money.
