Since we know Mookie signed with Kawasaki for 2027 SX and MX, that likely means Chase Sexton is on his way out. Where do you guys see him going? Or do you think he’ll be back with Kawasaki in 2027?
I need a banner or flag to fill this void on my classroom wall! What is everyone’s opinion?
The black is bulletin board I allow my student to hang their own art.
On racerx.com, Cooper Webb has an interview titled: Webb: “I Kind Of Lost My Step a Little Bit In Pro Motocross, But, It’s Been Fun.”
In the article he says that the class is “stacked- it’s super stacked,” and ”right now, I’d say I’m kind of in that sixth to tenth place guy.”
In his entire 450 motocross career, Webb only finished in the top 5 one time. In Webb’s entire 450 motocross career he is basically a 6 -10 finisher, if he was lucky. Webb, you’ve never had a step in motocross.
What a pretentious dude. This year he dismissively put Prado and others down for getting in his way. Does Webb know that Prado, has what Webb has, premier 250 and 450 championships too.
Webb, in Supercross, you have one move and one move only- get on the inside and run the other racer wide until they run out of track. That’s it, his only move. Barcia has more than that . Tomac, Roczen, and J. Lawrence have exceeded what you can do In Supercross and motocross.
Webb, why haven’t you done your “one move” in motocross? Oh, you are just a 6 - 10 dude.
Webb, why are you so entitled and pretentious for someone who is just a 6-10 dude?
Assuming all are healthy. Who do we think takes the 3 spots this year?
I think Deegan is a lock if he chooses to go, but he has to come out of the playoffs uninjured
The Open Class bike spot is interesting and I think may decide or be decided by the 250 spot
Tomac obviously has the history and should be considered but I don’t think he’s in form and don’t think he will be by the time that have to make a decision. Having JB on the 250 may help his case
JCoop paid his dues taking the 250 spot, but still needs to show up these last 2 rounds to prove he’s back from the injury. He also has the advantage of being on deegs team so same team, parts, etc. saves the AMA money.
Hampshire outside of a few crashes has been a consistent rider and was on the team last year. His downfall is being on a Team different from Deegan and all of the 250 options.
Marchbanks is clearly the 2nd fastest American as of late in Motocross. His benefit is that he shares a manufacturer with Levi who seems like the top 250 option. His only downfall is he’s not been selected in the past like the previous 3.
The MX2 spot seems wide open
Levi is the fastest USA rider on a 250 but his starts are a cause for concern being that he will be taking gate drops vs 450s.
Beaumer has been consistent with both starts and finishes unlike Levi. He’s not been the best of the 3 but the most consistent.
Hymas is getting better each week, but will it be enough by the time a decision is made. He’s similar to Hampshire where he may be the odd man out by manufacturer, he should be hoping for a JCoop selection
The relevant thing to consider is that typically team USA only sends 2 manufacturers per year especially in years that it’s overseas. I think the MX2 and Open spot are very intertwined based on how team USA operates.
So to summarize each option based on that
Deegan + JCoop = pick any 250, and it’s likely hymas best shot.
Deegan + Tomac = Probably Julien
Deegan + Levi or Marchbanks = Levi or Marchbanks

How many times have we seen a lapper cost someone a heat win or even a main?
I've been thinking about a possible fix: Once you're lapped by the leader, your position is locked. You have to take the next safe exit off the track.
It would clean up a lot of the BS, but I get the other side too - lappers add chaos and that's part of what makes racing exciting. Sometimes they are the reason for last-lap drama.
What do you guys think? Keep it chaotic or make them exit?
-20 sec deegz dangerously in 4th place. Bro sucks hard wow
Lolz🤣
Who has video of huntas crash? I know someone is at the race! Awful to see it for him.
That was an L comment by Jett about Haiden going off track.
Anyone else notice how Yamaha’s non-championship-contending riders seem to get involved with their title rivals off the start?
Gordon looked like he intentionally shut the door on Kitchen going into the right-hander, which gave the Yamaha title contenders a huge advantage.
Could just be aggressive racing—but when one team has that many riders at the front, it makes you wonder how much of it is individual racing versus team strategy.
What do you guys think?
What do ya’ll think? In my opinion, the tracks and locations get worse each year. I was hoping SMX would be more hybrid type builds similar to speedway tracks with some national elements included. I enjoyed the first years at the coliseum with the up and down peristyle, and the speedway/dragstrip tracks. The first two look just like Supercross without whoops, and slightly more intricate designs. The last track in Missouri looks the most interesting, but not stoked on the location.
Does anyone here remember an exhibition supercross with Ricky Johnson, Doug Dubach and Guy Cooper in 1989. I was fortunate to race with these legends and I wonder if anyone has memories of this race? Can't find very much online, even with AI. Cheers!
Hello, I used to race when I was a kid but I’m not familiar with riding a 250cc bike on a track. The issue I’m having is what gear should you be in when going in tight corners or short berms to not bog out or bike stall? I’m confused if you hold clutch on berms or just stay in 1st or 2nd gear. I see people hit tight corners and almost look like they completely stop for tight turns do you hold the clutch and what gear would you stay in? I rode a couple years ago and kept stalling on berms 😞.
Then for jumping doubles, do you usually jump them right out of a berm in 2nd or 3rd gear? Im sorry I’m such a nooby I just don’t understand which gears to be in and when to hold clutch on turns 😕. I really wanna start riding on tracks for fun but I’ve been out the game so long.

I was looking to buy since it’s on sale, but see some mixed opinions; is it worth $15 to those who have played it?
