With world supercross gaining some momentum in 2025, with more and more leading riders being involved in the series and most of the rounds having large audience attendance, you have to wonder if the AMA supercross and AMA motocross championships need to make their own attack on the world market.

For me, I am not sure how long WSX can last on the current structure and its clear, the 2025, while enjoyable to watch, clearly lost a lot of money. If they can stabilize their rounds, something similar to this year’s schedule and continue to gain more spectators and more leading AMA riders, it can work, but it’s a tall order.

As we mentioned in an article a couple of months ago, both Feld and Infront/Youthstream/Action Group have tried running major supercross events in Europe and both failed to go past a year or two of making a success of it. Action Group in the 1990 and Youthstream a decade ago, while Felds 2003 and 2004 WSX rounds were not a success.

Dave Prater, the vice president of Supercross at Feld Motor Sports does think it’s possible to have successful rounds around the world and wants AMA SX worldwide within the next five years.

“I’ll be extremely disappointed if in the next five years we don’t race internationally. It’s difficult to race internationally within the regular season of Supercross and Pro Motocross, but the playoffs – it lends itself to that. The sky is the limit – let’s continue to push and make it as big as we can. I think everything is possible.”

“And we’ve got a little more time on the back end of the playoffs if we were to do it. I don’t think we should put a limit on anything. As the SMX World Championship, I think we should look at all possibilities. One of those possibilities is international races, for sure. It’s been really good. I’m never going to be satisfied – I don’t think any of us are ever going to be – which is a strength that we all have. I think it has been really good, and I think it has delivered in what we said it was going to do. It’s grown – it’s raised the entire sport.

“I think the playoffs and this partnership with MX Sports have lifted both the Supercross and the Pro Motocross Championship, but we can always make it better. And we will, the more we learn. You know, like you said, we’re going into year four of the playoffs. We’ve had three years of Playoffs. I don’t want us to get into a position where we’re like, ‘that’s what the playoffs are.’ I want to always be thinking like, ‘Hey, maybe we could change up the format. Maybe we could change up this. Maybe we change up that to make it better.’ Because I don’t think we’ll ever be satisfied with this being is what it is.

“And I don’t want to get stuck there; I want to keep it fresh. I think we all want to keep it fresh. We all want to continue to evolve, so I guess that’s my answer to that is, I’m satisfied with the three years and where we are, but none of us are satisfied that this is the best it can be. We’re always going to push it and grow it.”
