Who's Racing for a Deal & Team Shutting Down?! | 2024 Pro Motocross Preview

In this week's episode of 'Inside SML,' Chase Curtis breaks down some of the news we have heard leading up to the 2024 Pro Motocross series opener. Press play to hear a few updates on riders, some rumors regarding a factory team, and all the news we have before racing kicks off at Fox Raceway!

chase is a natural. good job chase good information and video!

[@SMLChase]

Thank you! Trying my best to

"Probably litten a fire..." 😂🤣😂🤣

[@smalltownlifestyle]

Star should have 20 250 riders instead of 40 then use the budget saved for j coops salary

[@klaus5686]

🤣

[@merccrewlcab2385]

Nothing on Schwartz, Drake, Reynolds or other fast guys? Come on Chase! No mention of Anste either? And what about that fast cat Dante Oliveira? He was rippin at Stopwatch Nats! Craig will have some good races, maybe a podium or two, the guy can shred. HEP will do well with him. I guess Troys kid messed up eh, shitty deal. Could we see a Ducati / Troy Lee team in the future? Hmm...

[@swapmotolive.]

I've mentioned the other guys in pervious shows, just wanted to focus on the factory guys in this week's video. Anstie and Firepower Honda do not race outdoors.

[@DanielDunn]

Great job Chase, thanks! 250 is looking exciting. I'm a big Jett fan, and 450 might not be as fun to watch, but hey, that dude is SO FAST.

[@G_Money72]

Well done Chase

[@ZmannR2]

no one gives a crap about 450's this year.....its wild how boring it is now with Jett

[@jkell411]

Everybody is just hoping he gets a bad start or crashes...

[@mikep47]

Sorry dude I don't see Hymas on the box or inside the top 5 until injuries start to hit.

[@alexreinhardt28]

What's with all the Jordan hype in moto media? Kellen and Lewis have him as a top 5 and possible podium guy. Yall are tripping. He's never had good outdoor results

[@eriksantana3801]

Rumor is Honda is interested in coming back to TLd.

[@FanofMoto]

Lets gooo bro that’d be sick!

[@brunobittencourt9741]

how about enzo lopes? hes been missing for awhile

[@vonhonderwitz]

He had a botched arm pump surgery and isn’t ready and may never be from what I saw on another video.

[@johnsully7222]

@@vonhonderwitz bad karma for how he treated club mx…

[@kjpr00]

Enzo's deal with Star is Supercross-only. He asked for that, since during the Motocross season here he prefers to go do the Brazilian Supercross Championship and he makes good money doing that.

[@AdamKarriem]

Karma is real! ✊🏾

[@somethingelse4846]

Justin cooper finnaly has a good ride,but one second place finish when he also ran the 450s limited last year,I expected more I think yamaha did too.

[@JordanEmede_376]

What? 😂 you expected what? Against who? Stop.

[@jamesfetters1156]

Honestly Justin cooper is overrated

[@JaysDown]

Every riders who's healthy looks fast at the practice track. We hear it every year.

[@zdiver1]

I heard to give the others a chance HD-38 is going to remove the rear and front brakes.

[@JordanEmede_376]

Vialle and kitchen are a problem then 😂

[@slayer6936]

Nate is always getting thrashed at what ever he does. I would love to see J.Coop stay myself. Chance will be 7 to 10.

[@popeyeseamaster87]

Watch out for Hunter!

Yeah he's a loose cannon

Everyone leaving star cause diaper boy 😂 you can tell Jordan is over him 😂

[@johnsully7222]

Smith has paid lots of dues…hope he can focus and excel at the outdoors…keep his ride and make enuff money to make retirement money…

[@kjpr00]

VitalMX and Racer X have both reported Smith has already signed a factory deal with Triumph that is set to last 3-4 years and possibly might get him a 450 ride eventually.

[@MXKID34]

Coughing Ducati, braaaaaap

[@RayRodriguez-cz5tr]

Why is it call Swapmotolive when Chase is the only person doing stuff

[@SMLChase]

We all do our part

[@keithtarrier4558]

I presume Anton is having a week or so off camera, as he travelled to all 17 rounds of SX. But I would think he is working on stuff from home for the MX season and reports etc. Donn got injured practicing some movie stunts on a staircase... 😢 And maybe they are trying to bring in the young chick audience by having Chase on camera more often! 🤔😂

[@timcross6380]

Tomac is a selfish man get out or go to a smaller team your on your way out give Justin Cooper the chance he deserves

[@Gpx111]

I think romano might do good outdoors

[@abuskiZSRR]

U mean "slowmano"

[@KlintonSilvey]

He NEEDS to

[@300Gang41]

I would rather let thrasher go and keep smith.

[@tkleven]

its not really star’s decision. Jordan is leaving in hopes for a 450 spot

[@kjpr00]

​@tkleven Not to mention VitalMX was reporting that factory Triumph deal is going to be 3, maybe even 4 yrs long. Star would never give him that kind of commitment.

[@sunamiBoi88]

Thrasher gets injured to much for star to keep running him..I think there will be 2 new riders coming soon to star..smith def goin for a 450 spot..

Christian Craig should just give up! He’s failed to deliver results worthy of a factory contract.

[@aus-rider]

His factory days are over I think, he may get picked up by a privateer team like firepower Honda etc, he just couldn’t convert what talent he had on a 250 to a 450, a lot of 250 guys just can’t do it, it’s a different animal.

[@damonforrest1570]

Would you give up if your passion is being on a Dirtbike. Plus even if he doesn’t do great. He won’t make more money doing anything else. So you can’t say someone should quit the very thing that helps take care of his family. So what if he doesn’t do awesome, he is a great personality and he’ll leave when he ready. Could you quit a job that pays a hundred thousand and more a year. No you wouldn’t. No offense just trying to explain that it’s not easy to give up on what feeds your kids.🙏✌️🤙💯🇺🇸💪🫡👌

[@liammoodyfilms]

He definitely deserves a factory ride. He dominated his 250 championship. Dude just has terrible luck with injuries. But the raw speed and talent is there. Why do you think Star Racing Yamaha has Deegan living with Craig and training with him haha?

[@damonforrest1570]

@@liammoodyfilms People that make those comments about Craig just have no heart.🤙🙏💯✌️

[@hughglass9618]

@@damonforrest1570 You don't get factory rides for being a great personality. Continuing to race is one thing, but I don't see him getting a factory ride. He's 32 years old, too much young talent to sign a guy like Craig.

Christion is going to retire no factory team is gonna offer him a ride he not worth the money
