Thank you very much for the bands your team sent me for my motorcycle. I have been coming to the races you guys put on for years, but only collecting bands for a short while now. Thank you for your hard work on the Pro Motocross Championship every summer and the new SMX as well. I’ll see you at the races this summer.

After witnessing the carnage off the starts of the first three SX races in both classes, I vote for standardized starts for AMA Supercross in 2026. The Anaheim 2 start was unfair, with many riders penalized before the gate even dropped due to the configuration (split on either side of the tunnel jump). Allow the track builders to vary the length of the starts, but the first turn is always a left-hand turn. Starts should have a minimum length, preferably longer at most venues. Split starts only at the SMX Finals. We owe it to the racers to not have poor start configurations impact the outcome of championships before they even make it to the first turn.
