The Privateers

I just read an article written by Steve Matthes "There's a soft spot in the hearts of every motocross fan for the privateer, the riders and the teams that don't get any support from one of the five major manufactures. The notation of grabbing some tools, getting some bikes, and going up against the big-budgeted factory teams has been going on for as l;ing as there has been organized motocross racing."
This is what is all about the battle to reign at the top to get as much support as possible. Any help is better than none and the hell these guys out themselves through just to get there. +Motocross and Supercross is they toughest sport on the planet and the injury list goes on. You say why do they do this only each individual can answer that, but most I hear is the love for the sport, and every other sport it is about money and yeah you have to be dedicated.

Lets think about motocross they are all underpaid and they put on a hell of a show. Maybe the top 5 make a good living the rest make what they could be making working a good job. The only thing is in a good job you don't walk away with broken goes, confusions, and much more than I can list. So for anyone out there not giving these riders there due for giving us the pleasure of motocross. I just guess you don't understand what motocross is all about. Thank you +Racer X Illustrated for giving us the news feeds we all enjoy. I have to give +Monster Energy a salute too for all it has done for the sport of motocross and my last thanks go to +KTM Racing , +kawasaki motorcycles , +Honda Motorcycles & ATVs , +Suzuki , +Yamaha Racing , and any other big supporter of +Motocross . One other person thanks to +redbull for helping in all the extreme sports. If I missed anyone I do apologize but there are too many to list and +Redneck RC Llc for helping what few privateers they can help.
