Most ride multiple classes anyway.
A few extra classes adds how much time to the day ?? 30 minutes ?? An hour ??
There are many factors hurting the Sport
1- for sure cost. Mainly bikes , gear etc.
2-injuries
3-AMA has their head up their a$$ when it comes to advancement & they are spineless when it comes to people submitting cry baby sob story letters to go back from A to B
They drop their pants like a Harlem Ho !!!
4- some trax are deff sketchy I'll leave it at that .
5-Burned out. This is where I fit in.
After Racing or Riding every weekend from March to Dec
Since 2004 I need a break !!!
I'm still spending $$$ but on Gear that I get paid to use ..
Injuries ?? Like the song says "maybe get a blister on your finger maybe get a blister on your thumb' and the occasional headache if my monitors too loud or I play to hard ....
