"There will never be another MXGP Champion from America" - Ryan Hughes talks GP's - Gypsy Tales 

He’s right though

Thanks so much mate!

@@GYPSYTALES Thanks for what you do all us moto fan's appreciate it.

Appreciate you listening

@@GYPSYTALES I have to say your content is awesome! I grew up riding but got out of it due to a bad crash/injury. 12 years later, I have a new bike on order and more excited than ever to ride and about the sport in general. Thanks for always keeping it real and interesting as hell!!

Is that found on RU-vid or another format?

Florida MXGP?...NOOOO....Tomac won the first round with good start......Herlings sucks ass, that puke is a complete scab

@@imtheonevanhalen1557 where were the yanks at the nations ? They couldn't even win on there home soil, they weren't even close to herlings.

@@imtheonevanhalen1557 no Ironman national, 3 digit number rocked up and smoked the lot crashed and still won on a track he’d never been too before

Remember when Villipoto won MXGP Thailand back in 2015. To say a top US rider couldn't go over there and win is dumb.

@@fizzlefox1829 that’s not Europe is it lol it’s Asia, super cross Man made shit track, what happened when he went to a real track 😂 in the back of an ambulance

the simple truth is the gps are less exhausting on the riders, they get a lot more time off and supercross pays a lot more than motocross. By the time the riders get to outdoors theyre probably tired of it

100%

I’m glad The Wick is back also 🤘 I’m from Massachusetts and I’m more excited bout the Nationals than SX , I loose more interest in SX every year as I get older but outdoors to me is what it’s all about 👍 NESC 🤘

@@ronaldtravis970 yuuup. Imo, outdoors requires more skill and obviously more conditioning.

I 💯 love outdoors more. I get pumped for races. SX is just a filler for me, and the SX only contract guys, for me I don’t even give a second glance.

Pierre was the first AMA champ , he is Dutch

Villopoto as well, he had amazing control of the bike, he was always a gear high than every other rider, keeping the revs low and the bike tamed

Motocross should be wide open. Technical for me is more the trails enduro side. Fitting an indoor track into a stadium and trying to ride factory 450’s is ridiculous now.

You don't know the history of the sport if u think motocross has to be wide open

@@nathancrittenden8525 yes I know the history. But motocross isn’t totally wide open. The skill level of the riders now is insane from as back as you remember the bikes are faster more suitable agile, the riders training is just not human. To Tom and dick who ride once a week motocross is definitely technical. But the pro’s are pro’s for a reason they make it look easy to go fast it’s what they train for. For me the US outdoor tracks are the fast but the uk and Europe ones are fast but definitely more technical with the rough and rutted tracks

@@deanoramouski5235 You’re clueless! Ya musta never seen Wardy jumping on a turn with his leg out (extended). That is fucking technical, pal. You want wide open? Go watch flat-track races…

First of all most the track on the calendar are the same tracks from the 90s and 2000s. Red Bud, Buds Creek, Washougal, High Point, Hangtown, Glen Helen needs to come back tho. But they are any different than back then, maybe the way the till the track, I don't know that information. Ryno wasn't correct about when you don't till it and just throw water on it, it becomes rock hard like clay usually depending on the dirt, but if you till it deep then it will get really rough, especially when the pros race it after that. Just from how hard they are on the gas and brakes cause bigger and rougher braking bumps and acceleration rollers as well. I'd they don't till the clay formed dirt turns into concrete and you can't break into that shit with nobbies and you will see the rubber skid marks in the track, at that point you might as well put on some dirt track tires or some slicks 🤣. Of they till the outdoors as deep as they can me there is prolly a liquid they can add to the water to keep it where the dirt doesn't clump up together so much and it could make for some really badass racing. I don't know what chems would help that but there always a way do manipulate the ground and dirt. I just thought that was a little far fetched for Hughes to say that much, I mean steel city would be cool to bring back. I think Hangtown or highpoint is where he lost his chain and had to push his bike up the last hill and I think he lost the championship that year. He almost won it if I remember correctly. That was the 90s big time. Crazy how fast time flys and how old I am.

Say hi to herlings for me

Win all the money you want, it wont hide the reality

@@Mr1237 the reality is that it’s American riders against the rest of the world. If USA doesn’t win MXdN the everyone celebrates. The fact that one country is basically put up against everyone else says everything I need hear.

@@pabloyescobar334 because americans think they're the centre of the world and the best in everything but you're not so sit down

@@pabloyescobar334 except no one else see's it that way, you have an extremely skewed perception.

​@@pabloyescobar334except America has a population the size of the entirety of western Europe going against countries like Belgium that has a population the size of one town in America so you have a much bigger pool to take from. Europe Vs America would be much more fair

Dam right am from UK it is the same there iv rode in snow rain mud baths 😂 only amature but we raced in all weather's and never been cancled only time it got red flagged was when some one really hurt themselves and we had to get them air lifted out.

I remember going to watch races and dudes racing both classes al 4 races and then final open race that was almost 4 hours of racing in one day for the same rider.

I wonder if he's in on the podcast

Kenworthy's in Troy, Ohio was an outdoor SX track. Great promoter but that wasn't a true MX circuit like Washougal or Hangtown.

The Mxgp is more grueling all outdoors for 17 rounds even for their 250 class. Plus the many different countries, tracks, and conditions. It would be a great story seeing one of our American Amateurs head to Europe and take their American Talent and turn it into European. We might have the send it attitude while Europeans just want to ride wherever they are at. Thomas Covington is the last American who ever won a GP though it was the 250 class it goes to show how tough it is out there.

Agreed 👍

Thats what ive heard, but MXGP pays them more. But the main reason is cuz of the hard tracks

@dpayne8611 There is more money in supercross than mxgp and motocross combined. But Supercross sticks you in America, and not everyone wants to live abroad, or is capable of if privateer. Same for Americans to mxgp

I got a KTM 350

They actually are the GP has works bikes while the US has Factory Bikes.

Usually a true statement. Times have gotten so easy that people CREATE their own problems.

Roger DeCoster can prove it. 45 min+2 laps moto. In 1 hour!!! another start and again 45 min+2 laps. Who can stand it now?

@@Savciuc_Serghei in dave Thorpe and Eric goboers and so ons day they had 3 45 min motos on works 500 2 strokes on tracks rougher than you could ever believe with suspension no where near where its at now

@@nathancrittenden8525 Year. Agree. And track like Namur

Its true though. Not even a debate

I like RC4 but he’d probably get lapped himself these days in Europe, their pace is on another level now
