LETS START THE MOTOCROSS RESURGENCE MOVEMENT!

Updated: Oct 26

Written pre corona


The sport of motocross is dying at the grassroots local level,

are we all just gonna watch & let it die...?

Let's start a Resurgence movement, not just sit by.

Let's start fresh & bring in new ideas, lets relook at everything and find new ways to grow the sport!


 

As it is right now the general public knows very little about the sport anymore, it out of sight out of mind. A lot of people don't see or think about Motocross as something that they could do anymore.


  • Most people know very little about motocross.

  • Most people these days have never tried riding a dirt bike.

  • I believe to fully appreciate even watching pro SX And MX racing you need to have ridden a dirt bike at some point.

  • (And I have a plan for how we can let more people try it)

  • Most people don't all know that even adults can ride and race smaller dirt bikes.

  • (I think mini mx and stair stepped classes are one of the answers to growing the sport)

  • People don't all know that riding is good exercise and creates a desire to be in good shape and encourages exercise, good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

  • Most people don't know that small 110cc dirt bikes and other air cooled bikes are very reliable and affordable.

  • People don't know what a day at the track is like how it gets kids outside, and how it is like tailgating or camping, its like a big family BBQ.

  • It has a strong sense of community, It's a brotherhood

  • Most People don't know that motocross creates friendships and brings families together.

  • Most people don't know there are ways to participate and ride motocross that are less dangerous than what is seen on TV.

  • Most people don't know that there are inexpensive ways to participate and race motocross.

  • It gets kids outside and doing something other than iPads and video games, and is an active lifestyle

  • Most peopledon't know that it teaches kids goal setting, responsibility and good sportsmanship.



Motocross is an amazing sport, Just riding a dirt bike itself is super fun but there is also a strong social aspect, its a lifestyle but typically only the most extreme parts of the sport are shown on TV....


If we want the sport to grow.... we need to go back to its roots and show the sides of the sport that are relatable to the masses and show people that it is something that they can do.



You can make small motocross tracks on very little space and two or more people can have a blast all day racing each other even on XR75's or similar size bikes on just small turn tracks, I believe that is what we need to show people.

Back in the 70’s and 80’s it was common knowledge that riding & racing was something anyone can do but its not anymore, but there are forms of motocross that people could do and not have to worry if they are gonna make it to work on Monday. Let's find ways to show that to America.

I have ideas of how we can do that.

I have put together a strategy that will get the industry on the same page and working together. And ways to let more people try riding dirt bikes for the first time.
